More quotes by William Gurnall
Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.
William Gurnall
God would not rub so hard if it were not to fetch out the dirt that is ingrained in our natures. God loves purity so well He had rather see a hole than a spot in His child's garments.
William Gurnall
To forsake sin, is to leave it without any thought reserved of returning to it again.
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
Mercy should make us ashamed, wrath afraid to sin.
William Gurnall
The Word of God is too sacred a thing, and preaching too solemn a work, to be toyed and played with.
William Gurnall
Peace of conscience is nothing but the echo of pardoning mercy.
William Gurnall
Truly, hope is the saint's covering, wherein he wraps himself, when he lays his body down to sleep in the grave: My flesh, saith David, shall rest in hope.
William Gurnall
Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.
William Gurnall
Least doers are the greatest boasters.
