“ You, Sir, desire to comfort the hearts of hundreds by following that simplicity your soul loves.'
" (9.) To one who had received the love of God under her prayer, she said, 'I feel I have not followed a cunningly-devised fable; for I am as happy as I can live. Do you press on, and stop not short of the mark.' To Miss M---s she said, 'Love Christ; he loves you. I believe I shall see you at the right hand of God: But as one star differs from another star in glory, so shall it be in the resurrection. ”

“ Paul pray according to the will of God, when he prayed that the Thessalonians might be 'sanctified wholly, and preserved' (in this world, not the next, unless he was praying for the dead) 'blameless in body, soul, and spirit, unto the coming of Jesus Christ?'
" (17.) Do you sincerely desire to be freed from indwelling sin in this life? ”

“ She answered: 'The greatest hinderance is generally from the natural constitution. It was mine to be reserved, to be very quiet, to suffer much, and to say little. Some may think one way more excellent, and some another: But the thing is to live in the will of God. ”

“ I believe scarce thirty in our whole society. Nevertheless, they made abundance of noise, gave huge occasion of offence to those who took care to improve to the uttermost every occasion against me, and greatly increased both the number and courage of those who opposed Christian perfection. ”

“ If so, is it not something else, not 'the blood of Christ which cleanseth' it 'from all sin?'
" (10.) If his blood cleanseth us from all sin, while the soul and body are united, is it not in this life?
" (11.) If when that union ceases, is it not in the next? And is not this too late?
" (12.) If in the article of death; what situation is the soul in, when it is neither in the body nor out of it? ”
