Image
For a beggar to live at court is not so much as the King to dwell with him in his cottage.
William Gurnall
Image
Christ will bear no equal, and Satan no superior and therefore, hold in with both thou canst not.
William Gurnall
Image

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?

Image
Least doers are the greatest boasters.
William Gurnall
Image
Thou hast no life to lose, because thou hast given it already to Christ, nor can man take away that without God's leave.
William Gurnall
Image
God is almighty to pardon, but He will not use His power for a shameless sinner. He is able to save and help in time of need, but if you have not repented, how can you expect His aid? The same power God expends on the believer's salvation will be spent on your damnation, for He has bound Himself under oath to destroy every impenitent soul.
William Gurnall
Image
We live by faith, and faith lives by exercise.
William Gurnall
Image
No torment in the world is comparable to an accusing conscience.
William Gurnall
Image
He that loves the Word and the purity of its precepts cannot turn traitor.
William Gurnall
Image
Compare not thyself with those that have less than thyself, but look on those that have far exceeded thee.
William Gurnall
Image
Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death.
William Gurnall
Image
As the eye of the body once put out, can never be restored by the creature's art, so neither can the spiritual eye lost by Adam's sin be restored by the teaching of men or angels. It is one of the diseases which Christ came to cure.
William Gurnall
Image
Christ hath told us He will come, but not when, that we might never put off our clothes, or put out the candle.
