John Flavel was a Puritan who lived from 1628-1691. He had some very spiritual writings. His works are available in our day from Banner of Truth, and much of it online. Among his best known works are "The Mystery of Providence" and "Keeping the Heart".
"One act of faith in the Lord Jesus pleases God more than all thy strivings to meet the claims of his law, through thy whole life, can do."
"Take away the knowledge of Christ, and Christians would be the most sad and melancholy beings in the world."
"As God did not at first choose you because you were high, He will not now forsake you because you are low."
"Though you cannot make the gospel effectual, yet the Spirit of God can make the means you are capable of using effectual."
"The Scriptures teach us the best way of living, the noblest way of suffering, and the most comfortable way of dying."
