If Family Religion Were Duly Attended To

We Must Feel Toward Our People As A Father Toward His Children; Yea, The Most Tender Love Of A Mother Must Not Surpass Ours. We Must Even Travail In Birth, Till Christ Be Formed In Them. They Should See That We Care For No Outward Thing, Neither Liberty, Nor Honor, Nor Life, In Comparison To Their Salvation... When The People See That You Truly Love Them, They Will Hear Anything From You...oh Therefore, See That You Feel A Tender Love For Your People In Your Hearts, And Let Them Perceive It In Your Speech And Conduct. Let Them See That You Spend And Are Spent For Their Sakes.

The Heart Is Naturally Hard, And Grows Harder By Custom In Sin, Especially By Long Abuse Of Mercy, Neglect Of The Means Of Grace, And Resisteing The Spirit Of Grace.

Special Mercy Arouses More Gratitude Than Universal Mercy.

If You Do Not See Yourselves And All Things As Living, Moving, And Having Their Being In God, You See Nothing, Whatever You May Think You See.

Lay Siege To Your Sins, And Starve Them Out By Keeping Away The Food And Fuel Which Is Their Maintenance And Life.
