It is no small comfort that God hath written some Scriptures to you which He hath not to others. Read these, and think God is like a friend who sendeth a letter to a whole house and family, but who speaketh in His letter to some by name that are dearest to Him in the house.
— Samuel Rutherford

ye and I might meet with joy up in the rainbow
I had but one joy, the apple of the eye of my delights , to preach Christ my Lord
Like a fool as I was , I suffered my sun to be high in the heavens and near afternoon before I ever took the gate by the end.
I see grace growth best in winter
I hang by a thread, but it is (if I may so speak) of Christ's spinning
The bloom fell off my branches and joy did cast off its flower
