He is wretchedly poor, who lives without Jesus: and he is exceedingly rich, who is well with Jesus.
3. It is a great art to know how to converse with Jesus: and to know how to keep Jesus is great wisdom.
Be humble and peaceable, and Jesus will be with thee.
Be devout and quiet, and Jesus will stay with thee.
Thou mayest quickly drive away Jesus and lose his grace, if thou decline after outward things.
And if thou drive him from thee, and lose him, to whom wilt thou fly, and whom then wilt thou seek for thy friend?
Without a friend thou canst not well live; and if Jesus be not thy friend above all, thou wilt be exceeding sad and desolate.
Thou actest then foolishly, if thou puttest thy trust or rejoiceth in any other.
We ought rather to chuse to have the whole world against us, than to offend Jesus.
