Be Assured That If You Knew All,

How Should Thy Patience Be Crowned In Heaven If None Adversity Should Befall To Thee In Earth? If Thou Wilt Suffer None Adversity How Mayest Thou Be The Friend Of Christ?

Our Dependence Upon God Ought To Be So Entire And Absolute That We Should Never Think It Necessary, In Any Kind Of Distress, To Have Recourse To Human Consolations.

Whoever Would Fully And Feelingly Understand The Words Of Christ, Must Endeavor To Conform His Life Wholly To The Life Of Christ.

If Thou May Not Continually Gather Thyself Together, Do It Sometime At Least Once A Day, Morning Or Evening.

The Measure Of Every Man’s Virtue Is Best Revealed In Time Of Adversity - Adversity That Does Not Weaken A Man But Rather Shows What He Is.
