Precepts may instruct, but examples persuade. — Thomas Brooks (Puritan)

"God is as just as He is merciful."

"God will call evil men to a strict account for all the outward good that they have enjoyed."

"Sin which men account small brings Gods great wrath on men."

"The snow covers many a dunghill, so doth prosperity many a rotten heart. (page 87)"

"The giving way to a less sin makes way for the committing of a greater."

"Satan, being fallen from light to darkness, from felicity to misery, from heaven to hell, from an angel to a devil, is so full of malice and envy that he will leave no means unattempted, whereby he may make all others eternally miserable with himself."
