Knock, And It Shall Be Opened Unto

Faith Receiveth The Promise, Embraceth It, And Comforteth The Soul Unspeakably With It. Faith Is So Great An Artist In Arguing And Reasoning With The Soul, That It Will Bring Over The Hardest Heart That It Hath To Deal With. It Will Bring To My Remembrance At Once, Both My Vileness Against God, And His Goodness Towards Me; It Will Show Me, That Though I Deserve Not To Breathe In The Air, Yet That God Will Have Me An Heir Of Glory.

Yet My Great-grandfather Was But A Water-man, Looking One Way And Rowing Another: And I Got Most Of My Estate By The Same Occupation.

He That Doth Righteousness; That Is, Righteousness Which The Gospel Calleth So, Is Righteous; That Is, Precedent To, Or Before He Doth That Righteousness. For He Doth Not Say, He Shall Make His Person Righteous By Acts Of Righteousness That He Shall Do; For Then An Evil Tree May Bear Good Fruit, Yea, And Make Itself Good By Doing So; But He Saith, He That Doth Righteousness Is Righteous; As He Saith, He That Doth Righteousness Is Born Of Him.

He Hath Given Me Rest By His Sorrow, And Life By His Death.

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.
