A minister, without boldness, is like a smooth file, a knife without an edge, a sentinel that is afraid to let off his gun. If men will be bold in sin, ministers must be bold to reprove.
William Gurnall
Image
Godliness is the child of truth, and it must be nursed by its own mother.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
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

William Gurnall
Image
Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.
William Gurnall
Image
Many lose heaven because they are ashamed to go in a fool's coat thither.
William Gurnall
Image
Sometimes, perhaps, thou hearest another pray with much freedom and fluency, whilst thou canst hardly get out a few broken words. Hence thou art ready to accuse thyself and admire him, as if the gilding of the key made it open the door the better.
