It Is Not A Terrible Thing To

Screw The Truth Into Men's Minds.

Of All The Preaching In The World, I Hate That Preaching Which Tends To Make The Hearers Laugh, Or To Move Their Minds With Tickling Levity And Affect Them As Stage Plays Used To, Instead Of Affecting Them With A Holy Reverence For The Name Of God.

It Is Not A Terrible Thing To A Wretched Soul, When It Shall Lie Roaring Perpetually In The Flames Of Hell, And The God Of Mercy Himself Shall Laugh At Them; When...god Shall Mock Them Instead Of Relieving Them; When None In Heaven Or Earth Can Help Them But God, And He Shall Rejoice Over Them In Their Calamity

I Take The Love Of God And Self-denial To Be The Sum Of All Saving Grace And Religion.

I Remember Myself, That When I Was Young, I Had Sometime The Company Of One Ancient Godly Minister, Who Was Of Weaker Parts Than Many Others, But Yet Did Profit Me More Than Most; Because He Would Never In Prayer Or Conference Speak Of God, Or The Life To Come, But With Such Marvelous Seriousness And Reverence, As If He Had Seen The Majesty And Glory Which He Talked Of.
