Mortification Is The Soul's Vigorous Opposition To

Temptations And Occasions Put Nothing Into A Man, But Only Draw Out What Was In Him Before.

We Cannot Enjoy Peace In This World Unless We Are Ready To Yield To The Will Of God In Respect Of Death. Our Times Are In His Hand, At His Sovereign Disposal. We Must Accept That As Best.

Temptation Gains Power Where We See It Prevail In Others We Know And We Express Neither Shock Or Hatred Of Them And Their Ways Nor Pity And Prayer For Their Deliverance.

Whatever Vices And Corruptions Men See In The Lives Of Their Ministers Will Not Be Attributed To The Depravity Of Their Old Nature Which Still Abides In Them, But To The Gospel.

The Good Lord Send Out A Spirit Of Mortification To Cure Our Distempers, Or We Are In A Sad Condition!
