Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.

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.

The longer a soul hath neglected duty, the more ado there is to get it taken up.

God would not rub so hard if it were not to fetch out the dirt that is ingrained in our natures. God loves purity so well He had rather see a hole than a spot in His child's garments.

Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.

The Christian's life should put his minister's sermon in print.

The Christian must stand fixed to his principles, and not change his habit; but freely show what countryman he is by his holy constancy in the truth.
