“Yet lackest thou one thing; Go sell all that thou hast, and give to the poor; he was grieved at that saying, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions!” Poor youth! He had a good mind to be a Christian, and to inherit eternal life, but thought it too dear, if it could be purchased at no less an expense than of his estate! And thus many, both young and old, now-a-days, come running to worship our blessed Lord in public, and kneel before him in private, and inquire at his gospel, what they must do to inherit eternal life: but when they find they must renounce the self-enjoyment of riches, and forsake all in affection to follow him, they cry, “The Lord pardon us in this thing! We pray thee, have us excused” … He will not!”

It is a poor sermon that gives no offense; that neither makes the hearer displeased with himself nor with the preacher.

The reason why congregations have been so dead is because they have dead men preaching to them. How can dead men beget living children?

For this life, being a continual warfare, we must never expect to have rest from our spiritual adversary the devil, or to say, our combat with him is finished, till, with our blessed master, we bow down our heads, and give up the ghost.
