3. Make catalogues and bills of thine own sins, specially of those sins that have most dishonoured God, and wounded thine own conscience: set them before thee often, specially then, when ⟨p. 53⟩thou hast any particular occasion of renewing thy repentance, that thy heart by this doleful sight may be further humbled. This was Davids practise when he considered his ways, and turned his feet to Gods commandments, Psal. 119. 57. And when he confessed the sins of his youth. Psal. 25, This was Jobs practise, when he said he was not able to answer one of a thousand of his sins unto God. Job. 9. 1.
