“i grieve to think how insensible i have bene of the claims of thy authority,
and the endearments of thy love;
how little i have credited thy truth,
trusted thy promises,
feared thy threats,
obeyed thy commands,
improved by advantages,
welcomed thy warnings,
responding to thy grace;
but notwithstanding my desert I yet live. May thy goodness always lead me to repentance, and thy longsuffering prove my salvation.”
