See What A Hidden Life The Life Of A Good Christian Is, And How Much It Is Concealed From The Eye And Observation Of The World. The Most Important Part Of The Business Lies Between God And Our Own Souls, In The Frame Of Our Spirits And The Working Of Our Hearts, In Our Actions That No Eye Sees Except The All-seeing God. Justly Are The Saints Called God's Hidden Ones, And His Secret Is Said To Be With Them. They Have Meat To Eat And Work To Do That The World Does Not Know Of, As Well As Joys, Griefs, And Cares That A Stranger Does Not Share.

It Is Not Enough For Us To Be Where God Is Worshipped, If We Do Not Ourselves Worship Him.

That Which Is Won Ill, Will Never Wear Well, For There Is A Curse Attends It, Which Will Waste It; And The Same Corrupt Dispositions Which Incline Men To The Sinful Ways Of Getting, Will Incline Them To The Like Sinful Ways Of Spending.

The Prayers And Supplications That Christ Offered Up Were, Joined With Strong Cries And Tears, Herein Setting Us Example Not Only To Pray, But To Be Fervent And Importunate In Prayer. How Many Dry Prayers, How Few Wet Ones, Do We Offer Up To God!

As If Men Did Not Die Fast Enough, They Are Ingenious At Finding Out Ways To Destroy One Another.
