When a man dives under water, he feels not the weight of it, though there be many tons of water over his head; whereas half a tub of it taken out of its place and set upon his head would be burdensome. So, whilst a man is over head and ears in sin, he is not sensible of nor troubled with the weight of it. But when he begins to come out of that state of sin, then sin begins to hang heavy, and he feels the great weight of it. Saint\'s Nosegay
He that is free from a wife may frame his choice to his mind, but he that hath chosen must frame his mind to his choice. Before, he might conform his actions to his affections; now he must endeavor to frame his affection according to his action.
Where God multiplies His mercies and men multiply their sins, there God will multiply their miseries.
God shows more mercy in saving some when He might have condemned all; than justice in judging many when He might have saved none.
Great blessings that are won with prayer are worn with thankfulness.
As two pieces of iron cannot be soundly soldered together but by beating and heating them both together in the fire, so neither can Christ and His brethren be so nearly united and fast affected but by fellowship in His sufferings.Saint\'s Nosegay, 107
Wicked men in affliction are like iron, which while in the first it melts, but after it hath been a while out, it grows stiff again.Saint\'s Nosegay, 83
