Poetical fragments heart-employment with God and it selfPoetical fragments heart-imployment with God and it self

Sinner. Indeed my purest streams are too impure: And cannot thy severity endure. The grief of an impatient selfish spirit, Cannot thy Pardon or Acceptance merit. But if this hardened Heart do not relent, And so great sin and misery lament, How canst thou smile on such a brazen face, As never felt the want and worth of grace?

Jesus. Whence […] I this complaining language hear, If neither want nor worth of grace appear? I'll save thee, if but so far thou Repent, As to my Gospel-Covenant to consent. ⟨p. 110⟩Wilt thou be healed? Truly say, I will, And trust the cure on thy Physicians skill.

Sinner. O there's my sin and woe! though Grace be free I cannot take thy Grace, or come to thee. My heart is hardened; I cannot repent: My Will's enthralled; I cannot consent. This will condemn me at the dreadful day: I may have Life, but will not when I may.
