christian mean men
No marvel if the worldling escape earthly afflictions. God corrects him not. He is base born and begot. God will not do him the favour to whip him. The world afflicts him not, because it loves him: for each man is indulgent to his own. God uses not the rod where He means to use the Word. The pillory or scourge is for those malefactors that shall escape execution.
christian blessing doors
Sorrows, because they are lingering guests, I will entertain but moderately, knowing that the more they are made of the longer they will continue: and for pleasures, because they stay not, and do but call to drink at my door, I will use them as passengers with slight respect. He is his own best friend that makes the least of both of them.
christian blessing soul
I account this body nothing but a close prison to my soul; and the earth a larger prison to my body. I may not break prison till I be loosed by death; but I will leave it, not unwillingly,when I am loosed.
giving people purpose
Rich people should consider that they are only trustees for what they possess, and should show their wealth to be more in doing good than merely in having it. They should not reserve their benevolence for purposes after they are dead, for those who give not of their property till they die show that they would not then if they could keep it any longer.

For every bad there might be a worse; and when one breaks his leg let him be thankful it was not his neck.

God loveth adverbs; and cares not how good, but how well.

Virtues go ever in troops; they go so thick, that sometimes some are hid in the crowd; which yet are, but appear not.
laziness desperate dare
Those that dare lose a day, ate dangerously prodigal; those that dare misspend it, are desperate.
spiritual distance eye
Infidelity and faith look both through the perspective glass, but at contrary ends. Infidelity looks through the wrong end of the glass; and, therefore, sees those objects near which are afar off, and makes great things little,-diminishing the greatest spiritual blessings, and removing far from us threatened evils. Faith looks at the right end, and brings the blessings that are far off in time close to our eye, and multiplies God's mercies, which, in a distance, lost their greatness.
nice greatness contentment
Earthly greatness is a nice thing, and requires so much chariness in the managing, as the contentment of it cannot requite.
men good-man enemy
A good man is kinder to his enemy than bad men are to their friends.
passion men fool
Nothing doth so fool a man as extreme passion. This doth make them fools which otherwise are not, and show them to be fools which are so.
