By liberty of conscience, we understand not only a mere liberty of the mind, in believing or disbelieving this or that principle or doctrine; but the exercise of ourselves in a visible way of worship, upon our believing it to be indispensably required at our hands, that if we neglect it for fear of favor of any mortal man, we sin and incur divine wrath.

Religion is the fear of God, and its demonstration good works; and faith is the root of both: For without faith we cannot please God; nor can we fear what we do not believe.

Do good with what thou hast, or it will do thee no good.

Passion is the mob of the man, that commits a riot upon his reason.

Sense shines with double lustre when set in humility.

To hazard much to get much has more of avarice than wisdom.

Force may subdue, but love gains, and he that forgives first wins the laurel.
