“Doth Jesus Christ stand up to plead for us with God, to plead with him for us against the devil? Let this teach us to stand up to plead for him before men, to plead for him against the enemies of his person and gospel.”

I found it hard work now to pray to God, because despair was swallowing me up.

I will stay in jail to the end of my days before I make a butchery of my conscience.

This hill though high I covent ascend; The difficulty will not me offend; For I perceive the way of life lies here. Come, pluck up, heart; let’s neither faint nor fear.

The road of denial leads to the precipice of destruction.

One leak will sink a ship: and one sin will destroy a sinner.
