O cherish Admiring Thoughts of free Grace in pardoning great Transgressions; and let them arise from the •ight of the Greatness of thy own Sins. Let Christ be Glorious, Admirable, Excellent and Precious to thy Soul. But O beware of […] hopes in, and Reliance on the […] Mercy Let thy hopes there •••crease infinitely in thee ⟨p. 31⟩Humiliation, Sorrow, Abasement and Self-Abhorrence for thy Sins. […] Astonishment it should beget […] thee to think of finding Mercy with the Holy God! How humbly should you hope for it! How should it bre•• thy Heart, and melt thy Soul within thee! And while it does this,—how should it raise, ravish and transport thy ••jected Soul.
