Richard Baxter
To be the people of God without regeneration, is as impossible as to be the children of men without generation.
Richard Baxter
Do not mathematics and all sciences seem full of contradictions and impossibilities to the ignorant, which are all resolved and cleared to those that understand them?
Richard Baxter
Unity in things Necessary, Liberty in things Unnecessary, and Charity in all.
Richard Baxter
