I Have Known Some Good Men Who Have Been So Addicted To Their Study, That They Have Thought The Last Day Of The Week Sufficient To Prepare For Their Ministry, Though They Employ All The Rest Of The Week In Other Studies. But Your Business Is To Trade With Your Spiritual Abilities. ... A Man May Preach A Very Good Sermon, Who Is Otherwise Himself; But He Will Never Make A Good Minister Of Jesus Christ, Whose Mind And Heart Are Not Always In The Work. Spiritual Gifts Will Require Continual Ruminating On The Things Of The Gospel In Our Minds.

The Mortification Of Indwelling Sin Remaining In Our Mortal Bodies, That It May Not Have Life And Power To Bring Forth The Works Or Deeds Of The Flesh Is The Constant Duty Of Believers.

Only What God Has Commanded In His Word Should Be Regarded As Binding; In All Else There May Be Liberty Of Actions.

Temptations And Occasions Put Nothing Into A Man, But Only Draw Out What Was In Him Before.

The Natural Man "cannot See Or Discern That Divine Excellency In The Scripture, Without An Apprehension Whereof No Man Can Believe It Aright To Be The Word Of God."
