Thou Art Beaten That Thou Mayest Be

Man Indeed Is The Most Noble, By Creation, Of All The Creatures In The Visible World; But By Sin He Has Made Himself The Most Ignoble.

Christ Is The Desire Of Nations, The Joy Of Angels, The Delight Of The Father. What Solace Then Must That Soul Be Filled With, That Has The Possession Of Him To All Eternity!

Prayer Is A Sincere, Sensible, Affectionate Pouring Out Of The Soul To God, Through Christ, In The Strength And Assistance Of The Spirit, For Such Things As God Has Promised.

Doth Jesus Christ Stand Up To Plead For Us With God, To Plead With Him For Us Against The Devil? Let This Teach Us To Stand Up To Plead For Him Before Men, To Plead For Him Against The Enemies Of His Person And Gospel.

What A Fool, Quoth He, Am I, Thus To Lie In A Stinking Dungeon, When I May As Well Walk At Liberty! I Have A Key In My Bosom, Called Promise, That Will, I Am Persuaded, Open Any Lock In Doubting Castle.
