Originál: (en) Keep your children as much as may be from ill company, especially of ungodly playfellows. It is one of the greatest dangers for the undoing of children in the world; especially when they are sent to common schools: for there is scarce any of those schools so good, but hath many rude and ungodly ill-taught children in it.

Originál: (en) See that your chief study be about heart, that there God's image may be planted, and his interest advanced, and the interest of the world and flesh subdued, and the love of every sin cast out, and the love of holiness succeed; and that you content not yourselves with seeming to do good in outward acts, when you are bad yourselves, and strangers to the great internal duties. The first and great work of a Christian is about his heart.

Originál: (en) There is a great deal of difference between the desires of Heaven in a sanctified man and an unsanctified. The believer prizeth it above earth, and had rather be with God then here. (…) But to the ungodly there is nothing seemeth more desirable then this world: and therefore he only chooseth heaven before hell, but not before earth; and therefore shall not have it upon such a choice.
