By maintaining the services even out of a respect to God, I will yet serve him; though I find reasons to humble me, yet I will not, to keep me off from Duties: though I do want spirit yet I do find an heart to pray, and to read, &c. If I cannot serve God with smiles, yet I will with tears: If my body will not carry my soul to duty, yet my soul shall hale my body unto it.
