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.

More quotes by William Gurnall
It is one thing to know a truth, and another thing to know it by unction.
William Gurnall
We must come to good works by faith, and not to faith by good works.
William Gurnall
CEASE to PRAY and thou will BEGIN to SIN.
William Gurnall
He that loves the Word and the purity of its precepts cannot turn traitor.
William Gurnall
Satan will be ready to help forward such thoughts as a fit medium to lift thee up , and slacken thy care in duty for the future. Such discoveries do indeed bear witness to the truth of thy grace, but not to the degree and measure of it. The weak child may be, yea, is, oftener in the lap than the strong.
William Gurnall
There is no such way to be even with the devil and his instruments, for all their spite against us, as by doing what good we can wherever we be come.
William Gurnall
Blind zeal is soon put to a shameful retreat, while holy resolution, built on fast principles, lifts up its head like a rock in the midst of the waves.
William Gurnall
Prayer is nothing but the promise reversed, or God's Word formed into an argument, and retorted by faith upon God again.
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
Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.
William Gurnall
Few are made better by prosperity, whom afflictions make worse.
William Gurnall
Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces.
William Gurnall
Christ is the door that opens into God's presence and lets the soul into His very bosom, faith is the key that unlocks the door but the Spirit is He that makes this key.
William Gurnall
Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.
William Gurnall
Never venture near the door where sin dwells, lest you are dragged in.
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
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.
William Gurnall
How many, alas, of the precious saints of God must we shut out from being believers, if there is no faith but what amounts to assurance.... shall we say their faith went away in the departure of their assurance?
William Gurnall
The Christian must stand fixed to his principles, and not change his habit but freely show what countryman he is by his holy constancy in the truth.
William Gurnall
The longer a soul hath neglected duty, the more ado there is to get it taken up.
William Gurnall
