It Is Long Since I Could Have

I Have Followed Holiness, I Have Taught Truth, And I Have Been Most In The Main Things; Not That I Thought The Things Concerning Our Times Little, But That I Thought None Could Do Anything To Purpose In God's Great And Public Matters, Till They Were Right In Their Conditions.

This Is The Most Joyful Day That Ever I Saw In My Pilgrimage On Earth.

And For Myself, I Think For The Present He Is Calling Me To Another Land; But How Long Shall Be My Abode, Or What Employment He Has For Me There, I Know Not, For I Cannot Think He Is Taking Me There To Live And Lurk Only.

I Have Been A Man Of Great Sins, But He Has Been A God Of Great Mercies; And Now, Through His Mercies, I Have A Conscience As Sound And Quiet As If I Had Never Sinned.

And For Yourself, Whatever There Has Been Either Of Sin Or Duty, Remember The One And Forget The Other, And Betake Yourself Wholly To The Mercy Of God And The Merit Of Christ.
