William Gurnall
Bid faith look through the key-hole of the promise, and tell thee what it sees there laid up for him that overcomes bid it listen and tell thee whether it cannot hear the shout of those crowned saints, as of those that are dividing the spoil, and receiving the reward of all their services and sufferings here on earth.
William Gurnall

William Gurnall
In heaven we shall appear, not in armour, but in robes of glory. But here these are to be worn night and day we must walk, work, and sleep in them, or else we are not true soldiers of Christ.
William Gurnall
Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death.
William Gurnall

William Gurnall
For a beggar to live at court is not so much as the King to dwell with him in his cottage.
