Richard Baxter
We must study as hard how to live well as how to preach well.
Richard Baxter

Richard Baxter
'Tis hard preaching a stone into tears, or making a rock to tremble.
Richard Baxter
Sinners, hear and consider, if you wilfully condemn your souls to bestiality, God will condemn them to perpetual misery.
Richard Baxter
