S. AUGUST.
Lord, if I have done that, for which thou mayest damne mee; thou hast not lost that, whereby thou mayest save me: Remember not sweet Jesus, thy justice against the sinner, but thy benignity towards thy Creature: Remember not to proceed against a guil∣ty soule, but remember thy mercy towards a miserable wretch: Forget the insolence of the provoker, and behold the misery of the invoker; for what is Jesus but a Saviour.
ANSELM.
Have respect to what thy Sonne hath done for me, and forget what my sinnes have done against thee: My flesh hath provoked thee to vengeance; let the flesh of Christ move thee to mercy: It is much that my rebellions have deserved; but it is more that my Redeemer hath merited.
