Least Doers Are The Greatest Boasters.

We Are Justified, Not By Giving Anything To God,--what We Do,--but By Receiving From God, What Christ Hath Done For Us.

Furnish Thyself With Arguments From The Promises To Enforce Thy Prayers, And Make Them Prevalent With God. The Promises Are The Ground Of Faith, And Faith, When Strengthened, Will Make Thee Fervent, And Such Fervency Ever Speeds And Returns With Victory Out Of The Field Of Prayer. The Mightier Any Is In The Word, The More Mighty He Will Be In Prayer.

God Is Very Precise In This Point; He Will Say To Such As Invent Ways To Worship Him Of Their Own, Coin Means To Mortify Corruption, Obtain Comfort In Their Own Mint: 'who Hath Required This At Your Hands?' This Is Truly To Be 'righteous Over-much,' As Solomon Speaks, When We Will Pretend To Correct God's Law, And Add Supplements Of Our Own To His Rule.

Oh, It Is Sad For A Poor Christian To Stand At The Door Of The Promise, In The Dark Night Of Affliction, Afraid To Draw The Latch, Whereas He Should Then Come Boldly For Shelter As A Child Into His Father's House.

The Christian Must Stand Fixed To His Principles, And Not Change His Habit; But Freely Show What Countryman He Is By His Holy Constancy In The Truth.
