John Mason

“ An Interest in Christ is the greatest Interest.
The Love of God is sweeter than Wine,
And better than Life.
God's Ways are the best Ways,
God's Peace is the best Peace, and
God's People are the best People.
The worst of the ways of GOD, are better than the best of the ways of Sin.
'Tis better to suffer the greatest Suffering in the World,
Than to sin the least Sin in the World.
A poor Man is better than a Liar.
Without Holiness no Man shall see the Lord.
IF I BE NOT Holy,
Heaven cannot make me Happy.
I must do the Lords-Work
On the Lords-Day. ”

“ Remember the Sabbath-day to keep it holy, six days shalt thou labour and do all thy work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God, in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattel, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates ”

“ Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven Image, or any likeness of any thing that is in Heaven above, or that is in the Earth beneath, or that is in the Water under the Earth: thou shalt not bow down thy self to them, nor serve them ”
