Henry Smith (3)
as the ivy grows with the oak, so covetousness hath grown with riches.
Henry Smith
The Benefit of Contentation123
Three things children receive of their parents: life, maintenance, and instruction. For these three they owe other three; for life they owe love; for maintenance they owe obedience; for instruction they owe reverence. For life, they must be loved as fathers; for maintenance, they must be obeyed as masters; for instruction, they must be reverenced as tutors.Sermons, 207
The heart must be kept courageous and strong and lively, like an instrument which is tuned to tune all the rest, or else every grief will make thee impatient. In Deuteronomy 30:9 it is said that God rejoices to do us good, and therefore in Deuteronomy 28 the Jews are reproved because they rejoiced not in the service of God. As He loveth a cheerful giver, so He loveth a cheerful server and a cheerful preacher and a cheerful hearer and a cheerful worshiper; and therefore David saith, "Let us sing unto the LORD" (Ps. 95:1), showing, as it were, the tune which delights God's ears. Sermons, 115
