First, In case I be Ungodly, a Wicked man: §1Here is that that may for ever keep me, from opposition to the good ways of God. I have said sometimes (may a wicked man say) concerning godly mens duties, That it was their Hypocrisy: And I have said concerning such and such Professors, This is your Pride, and this is your Singularity; and I have opposed with all bitterness, and earnestness, the prayings, and wrestlings of some of Gods people? But is ⟨p. 70⟩this true, That the Lord Jesus Christ, takes every Prayer, of the meanest of Gods Children, and carries it into the bosom of God the Father? and shall I spit upon that that Christ owns? shall I dare to oppose that that the Lord Jesus Christ presents unto his Father? The Lord in mercy pardon me: I have sinned and done foolishly, and for ought I know, I may have spoken evil of that Duty, that Christ hath carried into the presence of God the Father: Oh! through the Lords grace then, for ever will I leave to make any opposition, against any of the good ways of God again, and I will never speak one word against the persons, meetings, or supplications of the godly again.
