And then I would advise thee, if thou failest still in prayer, to go to God thus, and say to him, "Lord, thou hast sworn with an oath— 'As I live, saith the Lord, I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, but had rather that he would turn to me and live.' I know that thou meanest this, my God; wilt thou take pleasure then in my death, and spurn me now that I turn to thee?" Tell him that he has saved other sinners like thyself. Remind him of thy wife, or child, or friend; tell him of Saul of Tarsus; tell him of the woman that was a sinner; tell him of Rabab; and say unto him, "Lord, dost thou not delight to save great, big, black sinners? and I am just such an one. Thou hast not changed. By all that thou hast done for others, I pray thee do the like for me." And then say to him again, "I thank thee, O God, that thou hast permitted me even to pray to thee; I bless thy grace that thou hast moved me to come to thee; and as thou hast given me grace to feel my sin in a measure, wilt thou leave me to perish after all? Oh, by the grace I have received in being spared so long, in being permitted to hear thy gospel, I beseech thee to give me more grace."
