Sincerity Carries The Soul In All Simplicity

Fear, Lest, By Forgetting What You Are By Nature, You Also Forget The Need That You Have Of Continual Pardon, Support, And Supplies From The Spirit Of Grace, And So Grow Proud Of Your Own Abilities, Or Of What You Have Received From God.

Talkative Represents The Man Or Woman Who Delights In Talking About Divine Things But Has Only Theoretical Knowledge Of Such Things. No Actual Personal Heart Experience Correlates To The Matters They Love To Discuss So Eloquently. They Are Often Highly Esteemed By Others, But Those Closest To Them Would Quickly Betray A Life Out-of-sync With Their Words. The Mask Fashioned By Fluency With All Subjects Divine Hides Their Real Life.

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.

Words Easy To Be Understood Do Often Hit The Mark, When High And Learned Ones Do Only Pierce The Air.

Prayer Is An Ordinance Of God, That Must Continue With A Soul So Long As It Is On This Side Glory.
