The Sacrament consisteth not in our worthiness.
Faith and human understanding are one against another.
Faith dependeth on the Word.
As we hold of Christ, even so we have him.
Faith is a Christian's treasure.
The Gospel is the power of G.o.d.
Good Works.
Good works are nameless.
A Christian's work standeth for the good of the neighbour.
Faith in Christ destroyeth sin.
The Holy Scriptures only give comfort, they forbid not good works.
Christ is a general good.
Christians do pray for and desire the last Day of Judgment.
The Church heareth none but Christ.
Christ is of a mean estate and small repute.
In adversities we should show ourselves like men, and pluck up good spirits.
Our whole life should be manly; we should fear G.o.d and put our trust in him.
Faith maketh us Christ's heritage.
We should aim at celestial honour, and not regard the contemning of men.
Christ spareth us out of mere grace through the Word.
The Gospel is altogether joyful.
Grace condemneth all people's own righteousness.
Salvation is purchased and given unto us without our deserts.
Regeneration is the work only of the Holy Ghost.
Human reason cannot comprehend nor understand the goodness and benefits of G.o.d.
Good works are the seals and proofs of faith; for, even as a letter must have a seal to strengthen the same, even so faith must have good works.
Faith hath regard to the Word, and not to the Preacher.
The Preacher and the Word are two Persons.
This natural life is a little piece of the life everlasting.
Own imaginations and conceits spoil all things.
The Gospel cometh of G.o.d, it showeth Christ, and requireth Faith.
The Gospel is a light in the world, which lighteneth mankind, and maketh children of G.o.d.
False Preachers are worse than deflowerers of virgins.
Righteousness is obtained through faith, and not through works.
Works make faith strong.
A Preacher is made good through temptations.
A Prince is venison in heaven.
A person must be good before his works can be good.
We must not be dejected, but believe and pray.
No State or Calling is of any value to make one good before G.o.d.
Faith endureth no human traditions in the conscience.
The Saints oftentimes erred like men.
We must distinguish offices from the persons.
We hate punishment, but we love sin.
G.o.d preserveth the sanctified, yea, even in the midst of errors.
No great Saint lived without errors.
A Christian's life consisteth of three points-of faith, love, and the cross.
We command a Christian in nothing, he is only admonished.
We must curb ourselves in our own wills and minds.
All revenge among Christians is taken away; they must grow up and increase in the fruits of the spirit, among which love is the greatest, for she goeth about with the people.
