Me thinks none of you should be so senseless, so unreasonable, so desperately wretched, as to stand out. Good Lord, shall all my evils be pardoned, if I be content to receive Christ and his mercy? will the Lord Jesus never leave me, if I be content to leave my sins? Good Lord take all my sins and throw them in a bottom less pit, let me never see them again. I will never more strive against thy word: Let thy word reveal my sins and subdue my sinful soul: Let that good Spirit of thine come in and rule this heart of mine.
