'tis Hard Preaching A Stone Into Tears,

Study Hard, For The Well Is Deep, And Our Brains Are Shallow.

Screw The Truth Into Men's Minds.

I Tell You Again, God Hath Not Ordinarily Decreed The End Without The Means; And If You Will Neglect The Means Of Salvation, It Is A Certain Mark That God Hath Not Decreed You To Salvation. But You Shall Find That He Hath Left You No Excuse, Because He Hath Not Thus Predestined You.

Of All The Preaching In The World, I Hate That Preaching Which Tends To Make The Hearers Laugh, Or To Move Their Minds With Tickling Levity And Affect Them As Stage Plays Used To, Instead Of Affecting Them With A Holy Reverence For The Name Of God.

Nothing Can Be Rightly Known, If God Be Not Known; Nor Is Any Study Well Managed, Nor To Any Great Purpose, If God Is Not Studied. We Know Little Of The Creature, Till We Know It As It Stands Related To The Creator.
