I Saw A Man Clothed With Rags

Such Is The Effect Of The Grace Of God In The Heart Of A Pilgrim; While On One Hand He Sees The Propensity Of His Evil Nature To Every Sin Which Has Been Committed By Others, And Is Humbled; He Also Confesses, That, By No Power Of His Own, Is He Preserved, But Ever Gives The Glory To The God Of All Grace, By Whose Power Alone He Is Kept From Falling.

I Love To Hear My Lord Spoken Of, And Wherever I Have Seen The Print Of His Shoe In The Earth, There Have I Coveted To Put Mine Also.

Men, Even The Elect, Have Too Many Infirmities To Come To Christ Without Help From Heaven; Inviting Will Not Do.

Our Heart Oft Times Wakes When We Sleep, And God Can Speak To That, Either By Words, By Proverbs, By Signs And Similitudes, As Well As If One Was Awake.

In Prayer, It Is Better To Have Heart Without Words, Than Words Without Heart. Prayer Will Make A Man Cease From Sin, Or Sin Entice A Man To Cease From Prayer. The Spirit Of Prayer Is More Precious Than Treasures Of Gold And Silver. Pray Often, For Prayer Is A Shield To The Soul, A Sacrifice To God, And A Scourge For Satan.
