William Gurnall
Image
Indeed all the saints are taught the same lesson - to renounce their own strength, and rely on the power of God their own policy, and cast themselves on the wisdom of God their own righteousness, and expect all from the pure mercy of God in Christ, which act of faith is so pleasing to God, that such a soul shall never be ashamed.
William Gurnall
Image
If thou beest ever so exact in thy morals, and not a worshiper of God, then thou art an atheist.
William Gurnall

William Gurnall
Image
