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, Wealth0Where 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 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.
Anger0Anger is a tender virtue and such as by reason of our unskillfulness may be easily corrupted and made dangerous. He that in his anger would not sin must not be angry at anything but sin.
Anger0Anger 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 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.
