More quotes by William Gurnall
To forsake sin, is to leave it without any thought reserved of returning to it again.
William Gurnall
He that loves the Word and the purity of its precepts cannot turn traitor.
William Gurnall
Christ hath told us He will come, but not when, that we might never put off our clothes, or put out the candle.
William Gurnall
We need not borrow and take up sorrows upon use of the morrow, to make up our present load as we read of daily bread, so of a daily cross, Luke ix. M, which we are bid to take, not to make.
William Gurnall
There is no such way to be even with the devil and his instruments, for all their spite against us, as by doing what good we can wherever we be come.
William Gurnall
It is the image of God reflected in you that so enrages hell it is this at which the demons hurl their mightiest weapons.
William Gurnall
Can Christ be in thou heart and thou not know it? Can one king be dethroned and another crowned in thy soul and thou hear no scuffle?
William Gurnall
Pride of gifts robs us of God's blessing in the use of them.
William Gurnall
We must come to good works by faith, and not to faith by good works.
William Gurnall
Many lose heaven because they are ashamed to go in a fool's coat thither.
William Gurnall

William Gurnall
Indeed all the saints are taught the same lesson - to renounce their own strength, and rely on the power of God their own policy, and cast themselves on the wisdom of God their own righteousness, and expect all from the pure mercy of God in Christ, which act of faith is so pleasing to God, that such a soul shall never be ashamed.
William Gurnall
Compare not thyself with those that have less than thyself, but look on those that have far exceeded thee.
William Gurnall
The Christian must stand fixed to his principles, and not change his habit but freely show what countryman he is by his holy constancy in the truth.
William Gurnall
What is Jordan that I should wash in it? What is the preaching that I should attend on it, while I hear nothing but what I knew before? What are these beggarly elements of water, bread, and wine? Are not these the reasonings of a soul that forgets who appoints the means of grace?
William Gurnall
CEASE to PRAY and thou will BEGIN to SIN.
William Gurnall
Justifying faith is not a naked assent to the truths of the gospel.
William Gurnall
Few are made better by prosperity, whom afflictions make worse.
William Gurnall
Christ bears with the saints' imperfections well may the saints one with another.
William Gurnall
Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death.
