May The Perfect Grace And Eternal Love

In The Case Of Those Who Are Making Progress From Good To Better, The Good Angel Touches The Soul Gently, Lightly, Sweetly, As A Drop Of Water Enters A Sponge, While The Evil Spirit Touches It Sharply, With Noise And Disturbance, Like A Drop Of Water Falling On A Rock.

Do Not Put Faith In Constant Happiness, And Fear Most When All Smiles Upon You.

But Some Most Worthless Persons Are In The Habit Of Carrying About The Name Of Jesus Christ In Wicked Guile, While Yet They Practice Things Unworthy Of God, And Hold Opinions Contrary To The Doctrine Of Christ, To Their Own Destruction, And That Of Those Who Give Credit To Them, Whom You Must Avoid As Ye Would Wild Beasts.

Occupy Yourself In Beholding And Bewailing Your Own Imperfections Rather Than Contemplating The Imperfections Of Others.

Concerning The Harsh Treatment Of The Body For Our Lord's Sake, I Would Say, Avoid Anything That Would Cause The Shedding Even Of A Drop Of Blood.
