Date of Birth18 October 1662
heart real-men feet
Be careful if you make a women cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man’s ribs. Not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal, under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved.
sweet men mind
If ill thoughts at any time enter into the mind of a good man, he doth not roll them under his tongue as a sweet morsel.
heart men bread
Here is bread, which strengthens man's heart, and therefore is called the staff of Life.
men good-man benefits
The remains of great and good men, like Elijah's mantle, ought to be gathered up and preserved by their survivors, that as their works follow them in the reward of them, they may stay behind in their benefit.
religious men understanding
Those may justly be reckoned void of understanding that do not bless and praise God; nor do men ever rightly use their reason till they begin to be religious, nor live as men till they live to the glory of God. As reason is the substratum or subject of religion (so that creatures which have no reason are not capable of religion), so religion is the crown and glory of reason, and we have our reason in vain, and shall one day wish we had never had it, if we do not glorify God with it.
men littles too-much
We cannot expect too little from man nor too much from God.
men way enough
As if men did not die fast enough, they are ingenious at finding out ways to destroy one another.
men christ turns
The greatest of men must turn beggars when they have to do with Christ.
wise men hands
Riches, in the hands of a man that is wise and generous, are good for something, but in the hands of a sordid, sneaking, covetous miser, they are good for nothing.
heart men blessing
Riches are a blessing or a curse to a man according as he has or has not a heart to make good use of them.
spiritual prayer men
Prayer is the breath of the new man, drawing in the air of mercy in petitions, and returning it in praises; it proves and maintains the spiritual life.
men giving joy
To a good man, God gives not only wisdom and knowledge, but joy.
atheist men animal
A man that is endued with the powers of reason, by which he is capable of knowing, serving, glorifying, and enjoying his Maker, and yet lives without God in the world, is certainly the most despicable and the most miserable animal under the sun.
men fire gone
The anger of a meek man is like fire struck out of steel, hard to be got out, and when it is, soon gone.
