Aspirations.

WHat patience have I in committing sins, and how impatient am I in my sufferings for them? I am ever most ready to execute vice, and unwilling to abide the punishment. O good God, there are many years in which I have retained an inclination to this disorder, to that sin. My soul is bound, as it were, with iron chains, in this unhappy bed: will there be no Angel to move the water for me? But art not thou the Lord and Prince of An∣gels? Then I most humbly beseech thee (O blessed Sa∣viour) do thou command, and by thy onely word my affairs will go well, and receive a happy dispatch; my body will become sound, my soul innocent, my heart at rest, and my life an eternal glory.
