Ho. Oh! Let me hear them!
Min. First, You must Consent unto This; O, my SAVIOUR, I fly to thy Sacrifice; I beg, I beg, that for the sake of That, thy Wrath may be turned away from me; I cannot bear to have thy Wrath Lying on me! Can you say so!
Ho. I say it, I say it!
Min. But then, You must Consent unto This also; O my SAVIOUR, I Cry unto thee, to take away all that is contrary to GOD in my Soul; and cause me to Love GOD with all my Soul; and Conquer my depraved Will; and bring to Rights all that is Wrong in my Affections; and let my Will become entirely subject unto the Will of GOD in all things. Can you say so.
Ho. I say it, I say it!
