It is as hard a thing to maintain a sound understanding, a tender conscience, a lively, gracious, heavenly spirit, and an upright life in the midst of contention, as to keep your candle lighted in the greatest storms Picture Quote #1

Above all be much in secret prayer and meditation. By this you will fetch the heavenly fire that must kindle your sacrifice: remember you cannot decline and neglect your duty to your own hurt alone, many will be losers by it as well as you Picture Quote #1

The more perfect the sight is the more delightful the beautiful object. The more perfect the appetite, the sweeter the food. The more musical the ear, the more pleasant the melody. The more perfect the soul, the more joyous the joys of heaven, and the more glorious that glory Picture Quote #1

Get masters of families to do their duty, and they will not only spare you a great deal of labor, but will much further the success of your labors. You are not like to see any general reformation, till you procure family reformation. Some little religion there may be, here and there; but while it is confined to single persons, and is not promoted in families, it will not prosper, nor promise much future increase Picture Quote #1

Use sin as it will use you; spare it not, for it will not spare you; it is your murderer, and the murderer of the world: use it, therefore, as a murderer should be used. Kill it before it kills you Picture Quote #1

When we speak to drunkards, worldlings, or any ignorant, unconverted men, we disgrace them as in that condition to the utmost, and lay it on as plainly as we can speak, and tell them of their sin, and shame, and misery: and we expect, not only that they should bear all patiently, but take all thankfully, and we have good reasons for all this; and most that I deal with do take it patiently... But if we speak to a godly minister against his errors or any sin... if it be not more an applause than a reprehension, they take it as an injury almost insufferable Picture Quote #1

As holy zeal is the fervency of our grace, so sinful zeal is the intention and fervency of sin Picture Quote #1

Speak to your people as to men that must be awakened, either here or in hell Picture Quote #1

In hell, sinners shall forever lay all the blame on their own wills. Hell is a rational torment by conscience Picture Quote #1

Though selfishness hath defiled the whole man, yet sensual pleasure is the chief part of its interest, and, therefore, by the senses it commonly works; and these are the doors and windows by which iniquity entereth into the soul Picture Quote #1

All are making haste towards hell, until by conviction, christ brings them to a halt, and then, by conversion, turns their hearts and lives sincerely to himself Picture Quote #1

I preached as never sure to preach again, and as a dying man to dying men Picture Quote #1

Be careful how you spend your time: Spend your time in nothing which you know must be repented of Picture Quote #1

The longer you delay, the more your sin gets strength and rooting. If you cannot bend a twig, how will you be able to bend it when it is a tree? Picture Quote #1

Lay siege to your sins, and starve them out by keeping away the food and fuel which is their maintenance and life Picture Quote #1

If life be long I will be glad, that I may long obey; if short, yet why should I be sad to welcome to endless day? Picture Quote #1

Our very business is to teach the great lesson of self-denial and humility to our people, and how unfit is it then that we should be proud ourselves! Picture Quote #1
