Whoever hath a seed time of grace pass over his soul, shall have his harvest time also of joy.
William Gurnall
The Christian's life should put his minister's sermon in print.
William Gurnall
It is one thing to know a truth, and another thing to know it by unction.
William Gurnall
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
Therefore tremble, O man, at any power thou hast, except thou usest it for God. Art thou strong in body who hath thy strength? God, or thy lusts?

The mightier any is in the word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.
William Gurnall
The Christian in prayer comes up close to God, with a humble boldness of faith, and takes hold of him, wrestles with him yea, will not let him go without a blessing... They are only a few noble-spirited souls, who dare take heaven by force, that are fit for this calling.
William Gurnall
CEASE to PRAY and thou will BEGIN to SIN.
William Gurnall
Paul was Nero's prisoner, but Nero was much more God's.
William Gurnall
It is the saint's duty, and should be their care, not only to believe that God is Almighty, but also to strongly believe that His almighty power is engaged for our defense and help in all of our straits and temptations.
William Gurnall
We need not borrow and take up sorrows upon use of the morrow, to make up our present load as we read of daily bread, so of a daily cross, Luke ix. M, which we are bid to take, not to make.
William Gurnall
Pride of gifts robs us of God's blessing in the use of them.
William Gurnall
The grace thou hast will soon be less, if thou addest not more to it.
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
The soldier is summoned to a life of active duty and so is the Christian.
