Christ Greatly Delights In His

Leanness Of Body And Soul May Go Together.

He Who Finds Not Opposition From Sin, And Who Sets Not Himself In Every Particular To Its Mortification, Is At Peace With It, Not Dying To It.

When Sin Lets Us Alone We May Let Sin Alone; But As Sin Is Never Less Quiet Than When It Seems To Be Most Quiet, And Its Waters Are For The Most Part Deep When They Are Still, So Ought Our Contrivances Against It To Be Vigorous At All Times And In All Conditions, Even Where There Is Least Suspicion.

I Will Not Judge A Person To Be Spiritually Dead Whom I Have Judged Formerly To Have Had Spiritual Life, Though I See Him At Present In A Swoon (faint)as To All Evidences Of The Spiritual Life. And The Reason Why I Will Not Judge Him So Is This -- Because If You Judge A Person Dead, You Neglect Him, You Leave Him; But If You Judge Him In A Swoon,(faint) Though Never So Dangerous, You Use All Means For The Retrieving Of His Life.

The Root Of An Unmortified Course Is The Digestion Of Sin Without Bitterness In The Heart.
