“Or that it is inhuman cruelty to let souls go to hell, for fear my wife and children should fare somewhat the harder, or live at lower rates; when, according to God's ordinary way of working by means, 1 might do much to prevent their misery, if I would but a little displease my flesh, which all, who are Christ’s, have crucified with its lusts?”

“When your minds are in a holy, heavenly frame, your people are likely to partake of the fruits of it…that which is most on your hearts, is like to be most in their ears.”

Sixth reading of Baxter’s classic. It has always been of great use in knocking the rust off my soul.

“How can you choose, when you are laying a corpse in the grave, but think with yourselves, 'Here lieth the body; but where is the soul? and what have I done for it, before it departed? It was part of my charge; what account can I give of it?'”

This quote has come to my mind so many times over the years, serving as a spur to visit all those who suffer, regardless of denominational tie.
