In this Distress, I betook myself to CHRIST, and wept before ⟨p. 73⟩Him, saying Lord JESUS, let me be Destroyed, if thou canst find in thy Heart to Destroy, a poor Creature, who desires above all thing to Glorify thy Name. Here I am before Thee; Do […] me and with me, what thou wilt, If thou wilt Glorify thyself in my Confusion, thy will be done; I have deserved •hat it should be so: But, Oh, that thou wouldest pity me! After I had thus fled & cried unto the Rock that is higher than I, I was revived. But Anxiety returning the next Day, and being hurried with Temptations, I professed before the Lord JESUS, That if the Tempter did fall upon me, to destroy me, he should find me at the Feet of CHRIST; and will CHRIST suffer him there to destroy me? I therewith Promised before the Lord, that if He would bring me out of my Distress, I would endeavour in all Respects a better Carriage before Him. After this, I had some Persuasion, That GOD heard my Prayers, and beheld my Tears, as he He did those of Hezekiah, and the Weeping Jacob.
