Special Mercy Arouses More Gratitude Than Universal

Keep Company With The More Cheerful Sort Of The Godly; There Is No Mirth Like The Mirth Of Believers.

When We Speak To Drunkards, Worldlings, Or Any Ignorant, Unconverted Men, We Disgrace Them As In That Condition To The Utmost, And Lay It On As Plainly As We Can Speak, And Tell Them Of Their Sin, And Shame, And Misery: And We Expect, Not Only That They Should Bear All Patiently, But Take All Thankfully, And We Have Good Reasons For All This; And Most That I Deal With Do Take It Patiently... But If We Speak To A Godly Minister Against His Errors Or Any Sin... If It Be Not More An Applause Than A Reprehension, They Take It As An Injury Almost Insufferable.

In Our First Paradise In Eden There Was A Way To Go Out But No Way To Go In Again. But As For The Heavenly Paradise, There Is A Way To Go In, But Not Way To Go Out.

Death Is Half Disarmed When The Pleasures And Interests Of The Flesh Are First Denied.

It Is As Hard A Thing To Maintain A Sound Understanding, A Tender Conscience, A Lively, Gracious, Heavenly Spirit, And An Upright Life In The Midst Of Contention, As To Keep Your Candle Lighted In The Greatest Storms.
