Pray And Read, Read And Pray; For

Look How Fears Have Presented Themselves, So Have Supports And Encouragements; Yea, When I Have Started, Even As It Were At Nothing Else But My Shadow, Yet God, As Being Very Tender Of Me, Hath Suffered Me To Be Molested, But Would With One Scripture Or Another, Strengthen Me Against All; Insomuch That I Have Often Said, Were It Awful, I Could Pray For Greater Trouble, For The Greater Comfort's Sake.

Here Is The Life Of Prayer, When In Or With The Spirit, A Man Being Made Sensible Of Sin, And How To Come To The Lord For Mercy; He Comes, I Say, In The Strength Of The Spirit, And Crieth Father. That One Word Spoken In Faith Is Better Than A Thousand Prayers, As Men Call Them, Written And Read, In A Formal, Cold, Lukewarm Way.

The Man That Takes Up Religion For The World Will Throw Away Religion For The World.

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.

Man Indeed Is The Most Noble, By Creation, Of All The Creatures In The Visible World; But By Sin He Has Made Himself The Most Ignoble.
