“The Monstrous Regiment of Women.”

A man with God is always in the majority.

How good we are as preachers depends – not altogether, but (make no mistake!) primarily – on how good we are as men.

Let no day slip over without some comfort received from the mouth of God.

Prayer is an earnest and familiar talking with God.

Live in Christ, die in Christ, and the flesh need not fear death.

Here lies one who neither flattered nor feared any flesh.

When I think of those who have influenced my life the most, I think not of the great but of the good.

You cannot antagonize and influence at the same time.

But hereof be assured, that all is not lawful nor just that is statute by civil laws; neither yet is everything sin before God, which ungodly persons allege to be treason.

Lord, give me Scotland or I die!

I cannot praise the common superfluity which women now use in their apparel.

O Lord Eternal, move and govern my tongue to speak the truth.

Ye be proud contemners of the free grace of God offered to man in Christ Jesus. For with the Pelagians and Papists ye are become teachers of free will, and defenders of your own righteousness.

Those who have arrived at any very eminent degree of excellence in the practice of an art or profession have commonly been actuated by a species of enthusiasm in their pursuit of it. They have kept one object in view amidst all the vicissitudes of time and torture.

No one else holds or has held the place in the heart of the world which Jesus holds. Other gods have been as devoutly worshipped; no other man has been so devoutly loved.

Study to practice in life that which the Lord commands, and then be you assured that you shall never hear nor read the same without fruit.

Regimented minds cannot grasp the concept of confrontation as an open exchange of major differences with a view to settlement through genuine dialogue.

Nature that framed us of four elements, warring within our breasts for regiment, doth teach us all to have aspiring minds.
