6:1 1 Corinthians 16:13
Henry Newcombe (1627-1695)
An eminently pious minister once said that were it not for his hope in the grace and righteousness of Christ the thoughts of death would drive him distracted.
Ignatius
When the flesh of Ignatius began to be torn by the wild beasts, Now, says he, with a kind of holy exultation, now I begin to be a Christian.
Edward Young (1681-1765)

to trifle, is to live:
And is it then a trifle, too, to die?
John Milton (1606-1674)
Paradise Lost
Oh when will Death This mouldering old partition wall throw down
Give beings one in nature, one abode
Oh Death divine that givest us to the skies.
The man immortal, rationally brave,
Dares rush on death - because he cannot die.
Oh when will Death This mouldering old partition wall throw down
Give beings one in nature, one abode
Oh Death divine that givest us to the skies.
Edward Young (1681-1765)
Night Thoughts
The man immortal, rationally brave,
Dares rush on death - because he cannot die.
6:4 Revelation 2:4
John Chrysostom (d 407)
It is said of the Christians at Antioch that they so valued Chrysostom their excellent pastor that if driven to the alternative they would rather choose to be deprived of the light of the Sun than his ministrations.
6:6 Romans 5:8
Archbishop Ussher (1581-1656)
Behold the picture of earth's happiest man: "He calls his wish, it comes; he sends it back,
And says he call'd another; that arrives,
Meets the same welcome; yet he still calls on;
Till One calls him, who varies not his call,
But holds him fast in chains of darkness bound,
6:6 Romans 5:8
Archbishop Ussher (1581-1656)
A word of Christ before we part was the usual saying of pious archbishop Usher to his friends when they had been conversing about the various branches of human literature in which he was so eminently versed.
Edward Young (1681-1765)
Night Thoughts
Behold the picture of earth's happiest man:
And says he call'd another; that arrives,
Meets the same welcome; yet he still calls on;
Till One calls him, who varies not his call,
But holds him fast in chains of darkness bound,
...
To man the bleeding cross has promised all
The bleeding cross has sworn eternal grace.
Who gave his life, what grace shall he deny?
6:8 Romans 1:6
Westmnster Shorter Catechism
Effectual calling is the work of God's Spirit, whereby, convincing us of our sin and misery, enlightening our minds in the knowledge of Christ, and renewing our wills, he does persuade and enable us to embrace Jesus Christ, freely offered to us in the gospel.
