A Man May Easier See Without Eyes,

A Natural Man Hath No Such Thing As Free-will At All, If You Take It For A Power Of Doing That Which Is Good And Well-pleasing Unto God In Things Spiritual.

Our Great Pattern Hath Showed Us What Our Deportment Ought To Be In All Suggestions And Temptations. When The Devil Showed Him "all The Kingdoms Of The World And The Glory Of Them," To Tempt Him Withal, He Did Not Stand And Look Upon Them, Viewing Their Glory, And Pondering Their Empire.... But Instantly, Without Stay, He Cries, "get Thee Hence, Satan." Meet Thy Temptation In Its Entrance With Thoughts Of Faith Concerning Christ On The Cross; This Will Make It Sink Before Thee. Entertain No Parley, No Dispute With It, If Thou Wouldst Not Enter Into It.

If We Do Not Abide In Prayer, We Will Abide In Temptation. Let This Be One Aspect Of Our Daily Intercession: "god, Preserve My Soul, And Keep My Heart And All Its Ways So That I Will Not Be Entangled." When This Is True In Our Lives, A Passing Temptation Will Not Overcome Us. We Will Remain Free While Others Lie In Bondage.

We Cannot Enjoy Peace In This World Unless We Are Ready To Yield To The Will Of God In Respect Of Death. Our Times Are In His Hand, At His Sovereign Disposal. We Must Accept That As Best.

All Attempts, Then, For Mortification Of Any Lust, Without An Interest In Christ, Are Vain.
