There is none of us all, I can except none, but had need of this: have we dealt so unkindly with Christ since our conversion? have not we dealt proudly, and unkindly, and carelessly with him? and if we have the love of Christ in our breasts, it will shame and abash us. Now if we have joined with a temptation, Satan will say; will you go to God, and to prayer, that have served God thus? shall I yield to this temptation? if we can shame our selves, and say, Lord I take ⟨p. 81⟩all shame to my self, I have dealt most 1unworthily with thee; we shall hear a voice of comfort presently.
