As You Love Your Peace, Christian, Be

What Is Jordan That I Should Wash In It? What Is The Preaching That I Should Attend On It, While I Hear Nothing But What I Knew Before? What Are These Beggarly Elements Of Water, Bread, And Wine? Are Not These The Reasonings Of A Soul That Forgets Who Appoints The Means Of Grace?

The Word Of God Is Too Sacred A Thing, And Preaching Too Solemn A Work, To Be Toyed And Played With.

The Regenerating Spirit Is Compared To The Wind. His First Attempts On The Soul May Be So Secret That The Creature Knows Not Whence They Come, Or Whither They Tend; But, Before He Hath Done, The Sound Will Be Heard Throughout The Soul.

Never Venture Near The Door Where Sin Dwells, Lest You Are Dragged In.

How Can God Stoop Lower Than To Come And Dwell With A Poor Humble Soul? Which Is More Than If He Had Said, Such A One Should Dwell With Him; For A Beggar To Live At Court Is Not So Much As The King To Dwell With Him In His Cottage.
