The writings of Matthew Henry (1662-1714), English Presbyterian divine, are a treasury to be mined. Here are some of my favorite quotes by him - any others?
On family worship: "The conclusion of every day should put us in mind of the conclusion of all our days."
On women: "(Note) that the woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved."
On the Puritans: "It was a common saying among the Puritans, 'Brown bread and the Gospel is good fare.'"
