Page 11 - Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence, shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live ? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure, but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
Page 11 - My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him : For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Page 11 - For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

Page 16 - I shall fear to die in ; but that whether I live, I may live unto the Lord ; or whether I die, I may die unto the Lord ; so that living and dying I may be thine, through Jesus Christ.
Page 175 - Unworthinefs, the better they qualifie themfelves for frefh and greater Demonftrations of thy Love and Liberality. Again, the Man to whom thou haft diftributed more fparingly, muft not repine and be difcouraged, nor fret and grudge the larger Portion of his wealthier Neighbour ; but keep his Eyes and Mind wholly intent upon thee, and admire the Freedom of thy Grace, which, as it cannot be obliged to any, fo gives to all largely, and without partial Refped of Perfons.
