Quotation

I can, (saith one of the ancients,) more safely, and more comfortably speak to my Jesus, than to any one of the holy spirits of God; Christ is more engaged to me (that is, as God-man, mediator and redeemer) than to any of the celestial spirits.
The knowledge of Christ and him crucified

Quotation

At his birth the night was turned into day, and at his death the day was turned into night; nature, as it were, went into mourning, upon the death of the maker and heir of the world.
From The knowledge of Christ and him crucified quoted in Jonathan Edwards' blank Bible.

Quotation

The malignant opposition made to him (the Holy Spirit) by some, and the vile contempt cast on him by others, are things which have quenched and grieved him, and caused him to depart to that degree, as hereby almost all vital religion is lost out of the world. Hence it is that the glory of God in Christ, the faith, joy, and zeal, of Christians, are under such a cloud at this day.
