What Can You Conceive More

Until We Are Renewed In The Spirit Of Our Mind And Illumined In Every Part, Our Very Virtues Are But Taught Practices Grafted Upon A Corrupt Bottom

When Therefore The First Spark Of A Desire After God Arises In Thy Soul, Cherish It With All Thy Care, Give All Thy Heart Into It; It Is Nothing Less Than A Touch Of The Divine Loadstone, That Is To Draw Thee Out Of The Vanity Of Time, Into The Riches Of Eternity.

Self Is The Root, The Tree, And The Branches Of All The Evils Of Our Fallen State.

You Are To Think Of Yourself As Only Existing In This World To Do God's Will. To Think That You Are Your Own Is As Absurd As To Think You Are Self-created. It Is An Obvious First Principle That You Belong Completely To God.

All The Wants Which Disturb Human Life, Which Make Us Uneasy To Ourselves, Quarrelsome With Others, And Unthankful To God, Which Weary Us In Vain Labors And Foolish Anxieties, Which Carry Us From Project To Project, From Place To Place In A Poor Pursuit Of We Don't Know What, Are The Wants Which Neither God, Nor Nature, Nor Reason Hath Subjected Us To, But Are Solely Infused Into Us By Pride, Envy, Ambition, And Covetousness.
