More quotes by William Gurnall
CEASE to PRAY and thou will BEGIN to SIN.
William Gurnall
It is one thing to know a truth, and another thing to know it by unction.
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
Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces.
William Gurnall
Can Christ be in thou heart and thou not know it? Can one king be dethroned and another crowned in thy soul and thou hear no scuffle?
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
Godliness is the child of truth, and it must be nursed by its own mother.
William Gurnall
If thou beest ever so exact in thy morals, and not a worshiper of God, then thou art an atheist.
William Gurnall
The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.
William Gurnall
And while God had work for Paul, he found him friends both in court and prison. Let persecutors send saints to prison, God can provide a keeper for their turn.
William Gurnall
Peace of conscience is nothing but the echo of pardoning mercy.
William Gurnall
Cease to pray and thou will begin to sin. Prayer is not only a means to prevail for mercy but also to prevent sin.
William Gurnall
He that loves the Word and the purity of its precepts cannot turn traitor.
William Gurnall
For a beggar to live at court is not so much as the King to dwell with him in his cottage.
William Gurnall
Compare not thyself with those that have less than thyself, but look on those that have far exceeded thee.
William Gurnall
Pray often rather than very long at a time. It is hard to be very long in prayer, and not slacken in our affections.
William Gurnall
Hope fills the afflicted soul with such inward joy and consolation, that it can laugh while tears are in the eye, sigh and sing all in a breath it is called the rejoicing of hope (Hebrews 3:6).
William Gurnall
The regenerating Spirit is compared to the wind. His first attempts on the soul may be so secret that the creature knows not whence they come, or whither they tend but, before he hath done, the sound will be heard throughout the soul.
William Gurnall
Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.
William Gurnall
The grace thou hast will soon be less, if thou addest not more to it.
William Gurnall
