"If the Word does not dwell with power in us, it will not pass with power from us."
"Reader...if thou are, as many in this pretending age, a sign or title gazer, and comest into books, as Cato into the theatre, to go out again - thou hast had thine entertainment. Farewell!"
"Let no man think to kill sin with few, easy, or gentle strokes. He who hath once smitten a serpent, if he follow not on his blow until it be slain, may repent ever he began the quarrel. And so he who undertakes to deal with sin, and pursues it not constantly to death."
"Without absolutes revealed from without by God himself, we are left rudderless in a sea of conflicting ideas about manners, justice and right and wrong, issuing from a multitude of self-opinionated thinkers."
"Let no man pretend to fear sin that does not fear temptation also! These two are too closely united to be separated. He does not truly hate the fruit who delights in the root."
"Do you mortify? Do you make it your daily work? Be always at it whilst you live; cease not a day from this work; be killing sin or it will be killing you."
