Edward WIlliams 3

We should not be surprised my brethren if men who claim a religious character and men of reputed eminence in other respects oppose this doctrine (penal subsittutionary atonement). Thus it was of old. We preach Christ crucified to the Jews who claim a religious character, a stumbling block and to the Greeks, who boast of science and wisdom as if engrossed by themselves, foolishness, but unto them who believe that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. The death of Christ as a sacrifice, however undervalued by many on earth, is in heaven a matter of the greatest moment and of the highest triumph. Edward Williams

The Lord takes a great deal of delight to train and bring up his child to be more in love with him. God will so train and bring him up, that if he throw him into the worst condition that can be for body or soul, and shall say, 'What thinkest thou of me now? Hast thou any hard thoughts of me?' saith God. 'No,' saith the soul, 'all is love.' Walter Cradoock 1606-1659

I heard of old that Jesus, Who still remains the same, To publicans gave welcome, And sinners deep in shame. Oh God! receive me with them, Me also welcome in, And pardon my transgression, Forgetting all my sin. Thomas William(s) Glamorganshire 1761-1844 (Original in Welsh)

There are many who complain that they can scarcely remember anything they hear. Have done with your lying. I'll be bound to say you remember well what you sold your old white horse for at Llandaff fair three years ago. Six or seven pounds was it? Certainly that has not escaped your memory. You can remember anything but the Gospel! Thomas Jenkin (Siencyn Penhydd) 1746-1807

... in our Prayers and Meditations (we must) conceive aright of his Divine Majesty and not according to those gross and blasphemous Imaginations which naturally arise in Men's Brains, as when they conceive God to be like an old man sitting in a chair and the blessed to be like that Tripartite Idol which Papists have painted in their Church windows Lewis Bayly 1575-1631

May 25 Thomas Coke 10

They who would go to heaven, must expect crosses in the way. The Israelites no sooner begin their journey, than they are in want of water ... Nor was their condition much mended at Marah, where, though there was plenty, it was ... not fit for drink. Our expected comforts are thus in the possession often embittered, in order to lead us to the Fountain of living waters. Thomas Coke 1747-1814

Nothing is so valuable an acquisition as an immortal soul: one such won to Christ is better than the riches of both the Indies. Death eternal, of body and soul, is the wages of sin; and unless we are saved from it now, we must be undone for ever. Thomas Coke 1747-1814

Always have a book to read, instead of indulging in vain conversation. ... Remember this, that you cannot commit some loved sin in private, and perform the work of the ministry in public, with facility and acceptance. Christmas Evans 1766-1838
