Sometimes, perhaps, thou hearest another pray with much freedom and fluency, whilst thou canst hardly get out a few broken words. Hence thou art ready to accuse thyself and admire him, as if the gilding of the key made it open the door the better.

William Gurnall
Image
Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death. Why shouldst thou be afraid to die, who hopest to live by dying!
William Gurnall
Image
The storm may be tempestuous, but it is only temporary.
William Gurnall
Image
All the plots of hell and commotions on earth have not so much as shaken God's hand to spoil one letter or line he has been drawing.
William Gurnall
Image
The longer a soul hath neglected duty, the more ado there is to get it taken up.
William Gurnall
Image
And while God had work for Paul, he found him friends both in court and prison. Let persecutors send saints to prison, God can provide a keeper for their turn.
William Gurnall
Image
We must not confide in the armour of God, but in the God of this armour, because all our weapons are only mighty through God.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
The Christian is bred by the Word, and he must be fed by it.

Image
Set a strong guard about thy outward senses: these are Satan's landing places, especially the eye and the ear.
