9. And hence it is, that the soul evangelically contrite, admires free grace, in every favour that it receives, spiritual or temporal, and is the thankfullest soul of all others, for mercies received; What shall I render unto the Lord, for all his mercies towards me, saith a contrite soul? This soul speaks to it self in the language of the Lord to Jerusalem, I was polluted in my blood, 1and cast out to the loathing of my person, and no eye pitied me, to do any office of love unto me: And then the Lord had compassion on me, and washed me with water, yea, with blood, with the blood of his Son he throughly washed away my filth, and anointed me with oil, endued me with his Spirit, and his grace, &c. I had forfeited all right to Heaven and earth into the Lords hand, and he hath given me all back again freely, and put me in a better condition, than I was in before. O the deepness of the riches of the Justice and Mercy of God!
