More quotes by William Gurnall
A minister, without boldness, is like a smooth file, a knife without an edge, a sentinel that is afraid to let off his gun. If men will be bold in sin, ministers must be bold to reprove.
William Gurnall
The mightier any is in the word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.
William Gurnall
Christ bears with the saints' imperfections well may the saints one with another.

Paul was Nero's prisoner, but Nero was much more God's.
William Gurnall

William Gurnall
Thou hast no life to lose, because thou hast given it already to Christ, nor can man take away that without God's leave.

The sins of teachers are the teachers of sin.
William Gurnall
Compare Scripture with Scripture. False doctrines, like false witnesses, agree not among themselves.
William Gurnall
Least doers are the greatest boasters.
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
Of all creatures in this visible world, light is the most glorious of all light, the light of the sun without compare excels the rest.
William Gurnall
No torment in the world is comparable to an accusing conscience.
William Gurnall
When people do not mind what God speaks to them in His word, God doth as little mind what they say to Him in prayer.
