And therefore as we pray for pardon of sin every day, so must we daily use the means wherein God gives assurance of remission to his children; as hear the word, receive the Sacraments, and pray unto God publicly and privately; endeavouring to resist all temptations, and to glorify God by new obedience: for it is gross hypocrisy to ask the pardon of sin, and still to live in the practise of it.
