John Knox

To promote a woman to bear rule, superiority, dominion, or empire above any realm, nation, or city, is repugnant to nature contumely to God, a thing most contrary to his revealed will and approved ordinance and finally, it is the subversion of good order, of all equity and justice.
John Knox

John Knox
Image
I cannot praise the common superfluity which women now use in their apparel.
John Knox
Image
But hereof be assured, that all is not lawful nor just that is statute by civil laws neither yet is everything sin before God, which ungodly persons allege to be treason.
John Knox
Image
Let a thing here be noted, that the prophet of God sometimes may teach treason against kings, and yet neither he nor such as obey the word, spoken in the Lord's name by him, offend God.
John Knox
Image
Prayer is an earnest and familiar talking with God.
John Knox
Image
Let no day slip over without some comfort received from the mouth of God.
