Quote by Thomas Watson
“Hay algunos en el mundo cuya religión va todo hacia los negativos; no son borrachos, no son perjuros-y por ello, se bendicen a sí mismos. ¿Ves cómo el fariseo aparece? Lucas 18:11. “Dios, te doy gracias porque no soy como los otros hombres, ladrones, injustos, adúlteros,” etc. Por desgracia, el no ser escandaloso no hará más a alguien un buen cristiano, más que una cifra hará una suma. El hombre de Dios va más allá, “él no se sienta en la silla del burlador-más se complace en la ley del Señor. Estamos obligados, no sólo para” cesar del mal-, sino para hacer el bien “,”

He was educated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where he was noted for remarkably intense study. In 1646 he commenced a sixteen year pastorate at St. Stephen's, Walbrook. He showed strong Presbyterian views during the civil war, with, however, an attachment to the king, and in 1651 he was imprisoned briefly with some other ministers for his share in Christopher Love's plot to recall Charles II of England.
He was released on 30 June 1652, and was formally reinstated as vicar of St. Stephen's Walbrook. He obtained great fame and popularity as a preacher until the Restoration, when he was ejected for nonconformity. Not withstanding the rigor of the acts against dissenters, Watson continued to exercise his ministry privately as he found opportunity. Upon the Declaration of Indulgence in 1672 he obtained a license to preach at the great hall in Crosby House. After preaching there for several years, his health gave way, and he retired to Barnston, Essex, where he died suddenly while praying in secret. He was buried on 28 July 1686.
