I will cause a boy who drives a plow to know more of the scriptures than the pope.

For we love not God first, to compel him to love again; but he loved us first, and gave his Son for us, that we might see love and love again, saith St John in his first epistle.

All that I do and suffer is but the way to the reward, and not the deserving thereof.

To have a faith, therefore, or a trust in anything, where God hath not promised, is plain idolatry, and a worshipping of thine own imagination instead of God.

The Scriptures sprang out of God.

My overcoat is worn out my shirts also are worn out. And I ask to be allowed to have a lamp in the evening it is indeed wearisome sitting alone in the dark.

God's goodness is the root of all goodness; and our goodness, if we have any, springs out of His goodness.
