"I have sinned—I sin continually—but Christ has died, and for ever lives, as my Redeemer, Priest, Advocate, and King."

     John Newton, letter to Mr. Robert Jones dated 17 March 1757, as reproduced on p. 20 (17-22) of Twenty-five letters, hitherto unpublished, of the Rev. John Newton, rector of Olney and St Mary, Woolnoth, London.  From the years 1757 to 1759 (Edinburgh:  J. Johnstone, 1840).  Crossway, the publisher of the series _____ on the Christian life, attributed it ("I sin continually.  But Christ has died, and forever lives, as my redeemer, priest, advocate, and king") to Luther as quoted by Carl Trueman, though it actually appears in a different book in that same series, the one on Newton by Tony Reinke.

"be willing that Self shall suffer for the Truth, and not the Truth for Self . . . and so own the Cross, and despise the Shame"

      James Parnell, "A few words to all my dear Friends in and about the county of Essex," in A collection of the several writings given forth from the Spirit of the Lord through that meek, patient, and suffering servant of God, James Parnel, who, though a young man, bore a faithful testimony for God and dyed a prisoner under the hands of a persecuting generation in Colchester Castle in the year 1656 (1675), 293 (291-294).
