Doctrines of Grace
"It is no novelty, then, that I am preaching: no new doctrine. I love to proclaim these strong old doctrines, that are called by nickname CALVINISM, but which are surely and verily the revealed truth of God as it is in Christ Jesus. By this truth I make a pilgrimage into [the] past, and as I go, I see father after father, confessor after confessor, martyr after martyr, standing up to shake hands with me... Taking these things to be the standard of my faith, I see the land of the ancients peopled with my brethren; I behold multitudes who confessed the same as I do, and acknowledge that this is the religion of God's own church." -- Charles Haddon Spurgeon
