mourn thou for other mens sins, as if they were thine own, that so the Lord may pity and pardon them, and it may be convert them, who shall do more good it may be, then ever thou canst do: let the Lord Jesus be in thy thoughts the first in the morning, and the last at night; do what thou canst, nay, go continually to him to enable thee to do more then thou of thy self canst; and mourn bitterly, and lament daily what thou hast not done, either through want of ability or will: remembering his love to thee, that he came out of h•s Fathers bosom for thee, wept for thee, bled for thee, poured out his life, nay, his soul to death for thee, is now risen for thee, gone to heaven for thee, sits at Gods right hand, and rules all the world ⟨p. 345⟩for thee, makes intercession continually for thee, and at the end of the world will come again for thee, who hast loved him here, that thou mightest live for ever with him then.
