Holy and Profitable Sayings OF THAT REVEREND DIVINE, Mr. WILLIAMDYER, Late Preacher of the Gospel at Chesham And Chouldsbury, in the County of Bucks.
MAny have the space of Repentance who have not the Grace of Repentance.
It's better to Repent without perishing, than to perish without Repenting
For if the second Birth have no place in you, the se¦cond Death shall have power over you.
There is more bitterness following upon sins ending than ever there was sweetness flowing from Sins Acting
Love to Christ begets a hatred of sin; now he love not Christ at all who loves him not above all.
All our precious Mercies come swimming to us in precious Blood.
They that sow Holiness in the Seedtime of their live• shall Reap happiness in the Harvest of Eternity.
It is better swimming in waterworks of Repentance, than burning in the Fireworks of Gods Vengeance.
For there is no coming to the fair Haven of Glory, without sailing thorow the narrow strait of Repentance
If Christ had not freed us from the Curse, we had li∣ved cursedly and dyed cursedly, and been damned for ever.
They who despise the Death of the Lamb, shall sure∣ly feel the Wrath of the Lamb.
They that will not own Christ at his first coming, Christ will not own them at his second coming.
He that came from Heaven to make the Saints Righte∣ous, will also come from Heaven to make the Saints Glorious. He is the rich Jewel in the Cabinet of Glory.
Whosoever hath him cannot be poor, and whosoever hath him not cannot be Rich.
Saints take as much delight in those Precepts, that injoin Holiness, as they do in those promises that assure Happiness.
If the day of Mercy leave you Graceless, the day of Judgment will find you Speechless.
Inraged Justice will avenge the Quarrel, of abused Mercy. The longer God forbears not finding amend∣ment, the sorer he strikes when he comes to Judgment.
If Gods forbearing Mercy do not draw you to Re∣pentance, his Judgment will drive you to Destruction.
The Sea of Damnation, shall not be sweetned with a drop of Compassion.
As you look for Happiness as long as God hath a being in Heaven, so God looks for Holiness as long as you have a being on Earth.
Man is the Excellency of the Creature, The Saint is the excellency of Man.
Grace is the excellency of the Saint, and Glory is the excellency of Grace.
It is a Greater Favour to be Converted than to be Created. Yea, far better to have no being, than not to have a new being.
Inward Holiness is better than outward Happiness.
Goodness without Greatness is better than Greatness without Goodness.
Christ threw himself into the Sea of his Fathers Wrath, to save poor Believers from Drowning.
He hath shut the Door of Hell, took us from perditi∣on, and he hath opened the Gate of Heaven to let us into Salvation.
O how much is it the Duty of Man to serve God, since God hath made all the world to that purpose.
If the Life of Christ be not your Pattern, the Death of Christ will never be your portion.
The Soul of Man is the Cabbinet, the Grace of God is the Jewel; now Christ will throw away the Cabbi∣net, where he finds not the Jewel.
Wherever Christ is a Priest for Redemption, he like∣wise is a Prince for Dominion.
Wherever he is a Saviour, there is he a Ruler.
Where he is a Fountain of happiness there he is a a Fountain of Holiness.
It is seldome seen that the sparkling Diamond of a great Estate, is set in the Gold Ring of a Gracious heart.
A sight of our selves in Grace, will certainly bring us to a sight of our selves in Glory.
Those Sins shall never make a Hell for us, that be a Hell to us, for where men are so dilligent as to do their best, God is so Indulgent he will forgive the worst.
To be in Christ is Heaven below, and to be with Christ is Heaven above.
But therre is no being with Christ above, if we are not in Christ here below.
Though Holiness is that which a Sinner scorns, yet Holiness is that which a Saviour Crowns.
