Those that have so much power over others as to be able to oppress them have seldom so much power over themselves as not to oppress.
~ Matthew Henry
An Eye of Favour
God looks down with an eye of favour upon those who sincerely look up to him with an eye of faith.
~ Matthew Henry
Content with a little
Nature is content with a little and that which is most natural, grace with less, but lust with nothing.
~ Matthew Henry
When the mercy is ripe for us
God consults our benefit rather than our desires. We would go out of the ark before the ground is dried: and perhaps, if the door be shut, are ready to remove the covering. God’s time of showing mercy is certainly the best time, when the mercy is ripe for us and we are ready for it.
~ Matthew Henry
The greatest fools in nature
Atheists are the greatest fools in nature; for they see there is a world that could not make itself, and yet they will not own there is a God that made it.
~ Matthew Henry
