Lastly, _After_ you have used any of these, take care, how you value
yourself thereon: how you congratulate yourself, as having done some
great thing. This is turning all into poison. Think, “If God was not
there, what does this avail? Have I not been adding sin to sin? How
long! O Lord! Save or I perish! O lay not this sin to my charge!” If
God was there, if his love flowed into your heart, you have forgot,
as it were, the outward work. You see, you know, you feel, God is all
in all. Be abased. Sink down before him. Give him all the praise. Let
God _in all things be glorified through Christ Jesus_. Let _all_ your
_bones cry out, My song shall be always of the loving-kindness of
the Lord: with my mouth will I ever be telling of thy truth, from one
generation to another_!
