He who prays and watches not, is like him that sows a field with precious seed — but leaves the gate open for hogs to come and rout it up!
— William Gurnall (1616 – 1679)
Truth
News may come that truth is sick, but never that it is dead.
— William Gurnall (1616–1679)
Chastisement
God would not rub so hard if it were not to fetch out the dirt that is ingrained in our natures. God loves purity so well He had rather see a hole than a spot in His child’s garments.
— William Gurnall
Prayer
Pray often rather than very long at a time. It is hard to be very long in prayer, and not slacken in our affections.
— William Gurnall
The Bible and Its Translation
Bless God for the translation of the Scriptures. The Word is our sword; by being translated, the sword is drawn out of its scabbard.
— William Gurnall
