“His knowledge can no more be frustrated, or His wisdom be deceived, than He can cease to be God.  Nay, could either of these be the case, He actually would cease to be God, all mistake and disappointment being absolutely incompatible with the Divine nature.”  Jerome Zanchius  (1516-1590)

“If God counts me righteous, I am safe, though in and of myself I am nothing but a sinner, and ungodly.”  John Bunyan (1628-1688)

“The true penitent loves God supremely, and therefore his sins are a heavy burden to him.”  John Colquhoun  (1748-1827)

“Thou hast his free promise, who never failed, who hath promised more than possibly thou couldst ask or think, who hath done more for thee than ever he promised, who is good and bountiful to the wicked and ungodly; thou doest his work, who is able and assuredly will bear thee out.”  (John Ball 1585-1640)

“Lord, why is it, that notwithstanding all my unworthiness, a fresh tide of mercy comes in every day?  The mercies of God make a sinner proud, but a saint humble.”  Thomas Watson  (1620-1686)

“When a man hath laid forth his desires, and poured out his heart before God, he should quiet himself, and cast himself with his burden upon the Lord; for here the poor committeth himself to God.´ David Dickson  (1583-1662)

“The noon of temptation which is sometimes very hot, fierce, and violent; Satan throws his fiery darts, thick and fast, which oftentimes give the believer much uneasiness; he is “in heaviness through manifold temptations;” but Christ makes him to lie down quietly, and rest safely; which he does, either by shading him from the violent heat thereof, or by supporting him under it, or else by giving him deliverance from it.”  John Gill  (1697-1771)
