One deep calleth another: the depth of hell calls for our answerable humiliation. […] that will not be humbled for his sins here, must be tumbled into that depth •••eafter. Psal. 130. De profundis clamavi Domine; out of the depths have I tried un•••e O Lord. God will hear the voice that comes de profundis. The deeper we ••e been in the Law, the higher we are in the Gospel: the deeper in hell, the ••her in heaven. The deeper a bucket dives into the well, the more water it brings the lower a man is humbled with sorrow for sin, the higher he shall be exalted •••h the grace of salvation. Never came prayer, sigh or groane de profundis paeniten•• from the depth of repentance; but it was heard in Excelsis misericordiae, in the ••ght of mercies. Of Davids prophetical imprecation against his enemies, (Psal. 15. Let them go down quick into hell) we may make a good apprecation for our ••es. Let us go down quick into hell by meditation, that we be never sent ••ke thither by condemnation. Let us descend every day while we live, that we ••er come there when we are dead.
