Indeed there is no little sin because there is no little God to sin against.
A Commentary on the Old and New Testaments, 5:500Sin0A Commentary on the Old and New Testaments, 5:500
They are fools that fear to lose their wealth by giving, but fear not to lose themselves by keeping it.
Giving, Wealth0God is nearer to us than we are to ourselves and knows our thoughts long before, as a gardener knows what flowers he shall have at spring because he knows the roots.
God's Omniscience0Where the Scripture hath no tongue we need not have ears, but must content ourselves with a learned ignorance, lest we fall into the sin of those angel worshipers (Col. 2:18).
Angels0Reading maketh a full man, prayer a holy man, temptation an experienced man.
A Puritan Golden TreasuryPrayer, Temptation0A Puritan Golden Treasury
As a body without a soul, much wood without fire, a bullet in a gun without powder, so are words in prayer without spirit.
Commentary on Old/New Testaments 5 - 334Prayer0Commentary on Old/New Testaments 5 - 334
A man may as truly say, the sea burns, or fire cools, as that certainty of salvation breeds security and looseness.
Commentary on the Old and New Treatments, 5Eternal Security, Perseverance0Commentary on the Old and New Treatments, 5
Idleness is the hour of temptation, and an idle person is the devil's tennis ball, tossed by him at his pleasure.
Idleness0Humility is both a grace and a vessel to receive grace.
Humility0Lie not to one another. No, not in jest, lest you go to hell in earnest.
Lying0Take heed of discontent. It was the devil's sin that threw him out of heaven. Ever since which, this restless spirit loves to fish in troubled waters.
Contentment0A contented man cannot be a poor man, especially if a godly man. For why? The Father, that Ancient of Days, fills his memory; the Son, the wisdom of the Father, fills his understanding; the Holy Ghost, the Comforter, fills his will. And so he must needs have all that thus has the Haver of All.
Contentment0Better be pruned to grow than cut up to burn.
Correction, Chastisement0Many there are that suffer the sun not only to go down upon their anger, but to run his whole race— yes, many races—ere they can be reconciled, whereby their anger becomes inveterate and turns into malice, for anger and malice differ but in age.
Anger0It is the great duty of all Christians to put off anger. It unfits for duty. A little jogging puts a clock or watch out of frame, so a little passion the heart. A man cannot wrestle with God and wrangle with his neighbor at the same time. Short sins often cost us long and sad sorrow. An angry man is like one in a crowd that hath sore bile; every one thrusts him and troubles him." With the froward thou wilt shew thys[elf] froward," a dreadful scripture to a peevish, froward man. Those that are too merry when pleased are commonly too angry when crossed. Blessed Lord, subdue this lust in my heart; I am very weak there. Lord, there strengthen me, turn the stream of my anger [against] self and sin. O how doth my anger at men make God angry at me! Lord, pardon in Christ
Anger0Thou a Christian and carry hellfire about thee! How can it be? When we see a child furious and revengeful who comes of merciful parents, we…say we wonder of whom he got his currish, churlish disposition; his father and mother were not so. Who learns thee, O Christian, to be so revengeful and unmerciful? Thou hast it not of thy heavenly Father, I am sure.

Anger may kindle in the breast of a wise man, but rests only in the bosom of a fool.
Works, 101Anger0Works, 101
Anger is a short madness; whensoever it displaces reason, it is sinful.
Commentary, 1:603Anger0Commentary, 1:603
Ambition is boundless, rides without reins, builds itself on the ruins of others, and cares not to swim to its design, though in a sea of blood.
Commentary, 1:45Ambition0Commentary, 1:45
Give God thine affections, else thine actions are stillborn and have no life in them.
Commentary, 856Affections, Action0Commentary, 856
By wanton touches and dalliance, mental adultery is oft committed.
Commentary 1:142Adultery0Commentary 1:142
Silence is consent by God's law (Lev. 5:1). And by ill silence to leave men in sin is as bad as by ill speech to draw them to sin.
Marrow of Many Good Authors, 1046Reproof, Silence, Admonition0Marrow of Many Good Authors, 1046
there is a holy kind of anger, which the scripture does not disallow; so that, unless a man is angry in that way, he will never be a good and godly man. For a good man has a zeal for God, and in that godly zeal he is angry at the iniquity and naughtiness of mankind.

There be many Labans; hot at first, cold at last; friendly in the beginning, froward in the end.
Relationships0When repentance is attributed to God it noteth only the alteration of things and actions done by him, and no change of his purpose and secret decree, which is immutable. Repentance with man is the changing of his will; repentance with God is the willing of a change.
