Humbling ourselves for our miscarriages in
reference to him is another part of our communion with him. That we have
grieved him as to his person, quenched him as to the
motion of his grace, or resisted him in his ordinances, is to be
mourned for; as hath been declared. Let our souls be humbled before him on
this account. This one considerable ingredient of godly sorrow, and the
thoughts of it, are as suitable to the affecting of our hearts with
humiliation, and indignation against sin, as any other whatever. I might
proceed in the like considerations; as also make application of them to the
particular effects of the Holy Ghost enumerated; but my design is only to
point out the heads of things, and to leave them to the improvement of
others.
