We Are Ignorant Of Things Necessary, Because

Lay Siege To Your Sins, And Starve Them Out By Keeping Away The Food And Fuel Which Is Their Maintenance And Life.

When Christ Comes With Regenerating Grace, He Finds No Man Sitting Still, But All Posting To Eternal Ruin, And Making Haste Toward Hell; Till, By Conviction, He First Brings Them To A Stand, And Then, By Conversion, Turn First Their Hearts, And Then Their Lives, Sincerely To Himself.

Till Men Are Deeply Humbled, They Can Part With Christ And Salvation For A Lust, For A Little Wordly Gain, For That Which Is Less Than Nothing. But When God Hath Enlightened Their Consciences, And Broken Their Hearts, Then They Would Give A World For Christ.

Despair Of Ever Being Saved, "except Thou Be Born Again," Or Of Seeing God "without Holiness," Or Of Having Part In Christ Except Thou "love Him Above Father, Mother, Or Thy Own Life." This Kind Of Despair Is One Of The First Steps To Heaven.

Is It Not Enough That All The World Is Against Us, But We Must Also Be Against One Another? O Happy Days Of Persecution, Which Drove Us Together In Love, Whom The Sunshine Of Liberty And Prosperity Crumbles Into Dust By Our Contentions!
