If thou beest ever so exact in thy morals, and not a worshiper of God, then thou art an atheist.
William Gurnall
Image
God would not rub so hard if it were not to fetch out the dirt that is ingrained in our natures. God loves purity so well He had rather see a hole than a spot in His child's garments.
William Gurnall
Image
Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.
William Gurnall
Image
Compare Scripture with Scripture. False doctrines, like false witnesses, agree not among themselves.
William Gurnall
Image
Prayer is nothing but the promise reversed, or God's Word formed into an argument, and retorted by faith upon God again.
William Gurnall
Image
Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.
William Gurnall
Image
Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.
William Gurnall
