And now I turn me again unto the Wretched Spectacle before us, whom God has suffered to fall into this Crime. And need I call upon thee, O miserable David, to Pray earnestly to God for the Pardon of This thy Sin. Every one of Us should this Day Cry to God for the Forgiveness of all our Angers and Passions; The pardon of our Malice and Hatreds. But O with what anguishes of Soul, and agonies of Grief should You be Lying at the Feet of Mercy, Crying ⟨p. 25⟩incessantly for Pardon. I hope you have been doing so day and night, […] the Fact, and now you have but […] hour more to do it in. O do it […] more Fervently in thy last Agonies. O with what care and fear, […] what vehemence and importunity, […] you wrestle now! and we in Prayer to God for you. The Blood of […] Murdered Brother cries against […] from the Ground, but the Blood […] Christ which is the Blood of […], and speaketh better things than the Blood of Abel, Cries aloud for Mercy upon all Repenting Sinners. Wilt not thou go now unto that Blood of the Covenant, the Blood of the Great Sacrifice for Sin, and […] Blood of Intercession; and by Faith therein, Cry unto God in Prayer for thy own Soul? Wilt not thou Cry […] God and Saviour; Deliver me from this Guilt of Blood, O God thou God of my Salvation.
