The World Was No Doubt Made, That

There Can Be No Courage In Men Unless God Supports Them By His Word.

As By The Revolt Of The First Man, The Image Of God Could Be Effaced From His Mind And Soul, So There Is Nothing Strange In His Shedding Some Rays Of Grace On The Reprobate, And Afterwards Allowing These To Be Extinguished.

Hence That Dread And Amazement With Which As Scripture Uniformly Relates Holy Men Were Struck And Overwhelmed Whenever They Beheld The Presence Of God. Men Are Never Duly Touched And Impressed With A Conviction Of Their Insignificance Until They Have.

There Is Nothing In Afflictions Which Ought To Disturb Our Joy.

Without The Gospel Everything Is Useless And Vain.
