“God’s providences, like his precepts, are to beat us off the world. Why does he send war and epidemics? . . . Surely dying times are to make men die to the world.”

Thomas Watson

“A godly man . . . sets his affections on things above. He sends his heart to heaven before he gets there; he looks upon the world as but a beautiful prison and he cannot be much in love with his fetters, though they are made of gold.”

Thomas Watson

“When Christians complain at their condition, they forget that they are servants and must live on the allowance of their heavenly Master. You who have the least bit from God will die in his debt.”

Thomas Watson
