Originál: (en) When Christ comes with regenerating, saving grace, he finds no man sitting sitll, but all posting to eternal ruin, and making haste towards hell; till, by conviction, he first brings them to a stand, and by conversion, turn first their hearts and then their lives sincerely to himself.

Originál: (en) We must feel toward our people as a father toward his children; yea, the tenderest love of a mother must not surpass ours. We must even travail in birth, till Christ be formed in them. They should see that we care for no outward thing, neither liberty, nor honor, nor life, in comparison to their salvation. (…) When the people see that you unfeignedly love them, they will hear anything from you. (…) Oh therefore, see that you feel a tender love for your people in your hearts, and let them perceive it in your speech and conduct. Let them see that you spend and are spent for their sakes.
