That I would not willingly, nor resolvedly sin against Christ, 1for a world. 'Tis true, I dare not say I have an interest in 2Christ, yet I dare say, that I would not willingly and resolvedly sin against Christ, for a world. I can say, through grace, were I this moment to dye, that my greatest fear is of sinning against Christ, and my greatest care is of pleasing Christ. ⟨p. 102⟩I know there was a time, when my greatest care was to please 3my self, and the Creature; and my greatest fear was of displeasing the Creature. I can remember with sorrow and sadness of heart, how often I have displeased Christ, to please my self; and displeased Christ, to please the Creature; but now 'tis quite otherwise with me; my greatest care is to please Christ, and my greatest fear is of offending Christ.
