Religious Maxims

It is a sign of advanced grace when opinion is swallowed up of religion.
A Christian's life is nothing else but a short trial of his graces.
The preaching that is plain, pure, powerful and practical, men are apt to dislike.
Religion begins with knowledge of a man's self, and is perfected with the knowledge of God.
Without established principles, our feelings contend against evil, as an army without a leader, and are far oftener vanquished than victorious.
The almost Christian is a most unhappy man, having religion enough to make the world hate him, and not enough to make God love him.—Countess of Werwick.
We should consider integrity as of more weight than oaths; or observe the purport of what thou hast promised, more strictly than an oath.
