“But this is a propensity to which the apostle grants no quarter whenever it appears; and never will your mind and his be at one till reduced to a sense of your own nothingness, and leaning your whole weight on the sufficiency of another, you receive justification as wholly of grace, and feel on this ground that every plea of boasting is overthrown.” (Volume 1, Page 255)
“If we all believed this, how much easier it would be to get our Churches into good order” (Volume 2, Page 4)
“A lesson to ministers:—Ministers of the gospel should be gentle, tender, and affectionate. They should be kind in feeling, and courteous in manner—like a father or mother. Nothing is ever gained by a sour, harsh, crabbed, dissatisfied manner. Sinners are never scolded either into duty or into heaven. Flies are never caught with vinegar.” (Volume 2, Page 433)
“Sow well, for others must reap. You are fountains for coming generations; oh, be careful that your streams are pure” (Volume 2, Page 4)
“Part I. (chaps. 1–11), was that of the sacrifice for the sin of mankind” (Volume 2, Page 434)
