Psalm 36:1

A DISSERTATION CONCERNING THE RISE AND PROGRESS OF POPERY What is generally meant and understood by Popery, is well known. As for the name it matters not from whence and from whom it is, nor when it began to be in use, nor in what sense the word papa is used in heathen and ecclesiastical writers. By... Read More

A Body of PRACTICAL Divinity Book 1—Chapter 5 OF THE FEAR OF GOD The fear of God has so great a concern in divine worship, that it is sometimes put for the whole of it; and a worshipper of God is frequently described in scripture by one that fears him; and particularly internal worship, or experimen...

But it was for useful purposes that God willed that day to remain unknown; that the heart may be ever ready to expect that of which it ... Read More

Psalm 1(1) Beatus vir qui non abiit 1 Happy indeed is the man who follows not the counsel of the wicked, nor lingers in the way of sinners nor sits in the company of scorners, 2 but whose delight is the law of the Lord and who ponders his law day and night. 3 He is like a tree that is planted beside...

The fifth degree of humility is that he hide from his Abbot none of the evil thoughts that enter his heart or the sins committed in secret, but that he humbly confess them.
