"I do not deny that it is lawful to confer of worldy business sometimes: communication requires conference. But with this proviso, that we should show more delight and earnestness in speaking of spiritual things than earthly, remembering that the soul is far more valuable than the world."
"If you find me short in things, impute that to my love of brevity. If you find me besides the truth in anything, impute that to my infirmity. But if you find anything here that serves to your furtherance and joy of the faith, impute that to the mercy of God bestowed on you and me."
