God, to prevent all escape, hath sown the seeds of death in our very constitution and nature, so that we can as soon run from ourselves, as run from death. We need no feller to come with a hand of violence and hew us down; there is in the tree a worm, which grows out of its own substance, that will destroy it; so in us, those infirmities of nature that will bring us down to the dust.

The sins of teachers are the teachers of sin.

It is no policy to let thy lusts have arms, which are sure to rise and declare against thee when thine enemy comes.

Christ hath told us He will come, but not when, that we might never put off our clothes, or put out the candle.

We must come to good works by faith, and not to faith by good works.

God's wounds cure, sin's kisses kill.

A minister, without boldness, is like a smooth file, a knife without an edge, a sentinel that is afraid to let off his gun. If men will be bold in sin, ministers must be bold to reprove.
