The Happiness Of The Creature Consists In Rejoicing In God, By Which Also God Is Magnified And Exalted.

If There Be Ground For You To Trust, As You Do, In Your Own Righteousness, Then All That Christ Did To Purchase Salvation, And All That God Did From The Fall Of Man To Prepare The Way For It, Is In Vain. Consider What Greater Folly Could You Have Devised To Charge Upon God Than This, That All Those Things Were Done So Needlessly; When, Instead Of All This, He Might Only Have Called You Forth, And Committed The Business To You, Which You Think You Can Do So Easily.

Religion Consists Much In Holy Affection; But Those Exercises Of Affection Which Are Most Distinguishing Of True Religion Are These Practical Exercises.

The God That Holds You Over The Pit Of Hell, Much As One Holds A Spider... Abhors You, And Is Dreadfully Provoked: His Wrath Towards You Burns Like Fire; He Looks Upon You As Worthy Of Nothing Else, But To Be Cast Into The Fire.

True Weanedness From The World Don't Consist In Being Beat Off From The World By The Affliction Of It, But A Being Drawn Off By The Sight Of Something Better.
