Build your nest upon no tree here, for ye see that God hath sold the forest to death.
If ye never had a sick night and a pained soul for sin, ye have not yet lighted upon Christ.
There is nothing that will make you a Christian indeed, but a taste of the sweetness of Christ.
Take Christ in with you under your yoke, and let patience have her perfect work.
Go where ye will, your soul shall not sleep sound but in Christ's bosom.
Christ seeketh your help in your place; give Him your hand.
Every day we may see some new thing in Christ. His love hath neither brim nor bottom.
Set not your heart upon the world, since God hath not made it your portion.
My dear friend, venture to take the wind on your face for Christ.
The night will close the door & fasten my anchor within the veil and I shall go away to sleep.
Grow as a palm-tree on God's Mount Zion; howbeit shaken with winds, yet the root is fast.
Welcome, welcome, cross of Christ, if Christ be with it.
Make not Christ a liar in distrusting His promise.
