Prayer, Study, And Suffering Make A Pastor.

The Inner Man Cannot Be Forced To Do Out Of His Own Free Will, What He Should Do, Except The Grace Of God Change The Heart And Make It Willing.

Heretics Cannot Themselves Appear Good Unless They Depict The Church As Evil, False, And Mendacious. They Alone Wish To Be Esteemed As The Good, But The Church Must Be Made To Appear Evil In Every Respect.

The Devil And Temptations Also Do Give Occasion Unto Us Somewhat To Learn And Understand The Scriptures, By Experience And Practice. Without Trials And Temptations We Should Never Understand Anything Thereof; No, Not Although We Diligently Read And Heard The Same.

Accordingly If The Devil Should Say, 'do Not Drink,' You Should Reply To Him, 'on This Very Account, Because You Forbid It, I Shall Drink, And What Is More, I Shall Drink A Generous Amount. Thus One Must Always Do The Opposite Of That Which Satan Prohibits. What Do You Think Is My Reason For Drinking Wine Undiluted, Talking Freely, And Eating More Often, If It Is Not To Torment And Vex The Devil Who Made Up His Mind To Torment And Vex Me.

Rest In The Lord; Wait Patiently For Him. In Hebrew, "be Silent In God, And Let Him Mould Thee." Keep Still, And He Will Mould Thee To The Right Shape.
