We do refuse to come to Christ, we go about to establish a righteousness of our own, and neglect the righteousness of God by faith in Jesus Christ: how are our hearts glued to the present things of this world! oh what do we do for thy glory! how u•reformed are we under all the ways of God that he has taken to make us a holy people! Give us a sight of our sins; oh Lord, we confess, sometimes we do make some formal confession, but we do not find our hearts melted for sin as they should.
We do r•fuse to come to Christ, we go about to establish a righteousness of our own, and neglect the righteousness of God by faith in Iesus Christ: how are our hearts glewed to the present things of this world! oh what do we do for thy glory! how u•reformed are we under all the ways of God that he has taken to make us a holy people! Give us a sight of our sins; oh Lord, we confess, sometimes we do make some formal confession, but we do not find our hearts melted for sin as they should.
Oh take away from every one of us this heart of stone, and give a heart of flesh; give us tender hearts, make us sensible of all our departing from thee.
Oh let us look upon Him whom we have pierced, and let us mourn that the water of penitential sorrow may •low from us; we are strangers to our selves; we do not see what a Hell there is in our natures; oh how should we put our mouths in the dust, and loath our selves, if so be there might be hope!
