More quotes by William Gurnall
God hath made it a debt which one saint owes to another to carry their names to a throne of grace.
William Gurnall
Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.
William Gurnall
Say not that thou hast royal blood in thy veins say not that thou art born of God if thou canst not prove thy pedigree by daring to be holy!
William Gurnall
The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.
William Gurnall
Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death.
William Gurnall
To forsake sin, is to leave it without any thought reserved of returning to it again.
William Gurnall
He that is impatient, and cannot wait on God for a mercy, will not easily submit to Him in a denial.
William Gurnall
Never was a faithful prayer lost. Some prayers have a longer voyage than others, but then they return with their richer lading at last, so that the praying soul is a gainer by waiting for an answer.
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
Paul was Nero's prisoner, but Nero was much more God's.
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
Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.
William Gurnall
Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.
William Gurnall
The grace thou hast will soon be less, if thou addest not more to it.
William Gurnall
Thou hast no life to lose, because thou hast given it already to Christ, nor can man take away that without God's leave.
William Gurnall
Cowards never won heaven. Do not claim that you are begotten of God and you have His royal blood running in your veins unless you can prove your lineage by His heroic spirit: to dare to be holy in spite of men and devils.
William Gurnall
Least doers are the greatest boasters.
William Gurnall
What is Jordan that I should wash in it? What is the preaching that I should attend on it, while I hear nothing but what I knew before? What are these beggarly elements of water, bread, and wine? Are not these the reasonings of a soul that forgets who appoints the means of grace?
William Gurnall
Godliness is the child of truth, and it must be nursed by its own mother.
William Gurnall
Mercy should make us ashamed, wrath afraid to sin.
