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.

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
