Quotes about Self-abasing

Remember that you are sinners as abominable as the Publican, wherefore do you, as you have him for your pattern, go to God, confess, in all simple, honest, and self- abasing, your numerous and abominable sins; and be sure that in the very next place you forget not to ask for pardon, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. And remember that none but God can help you against, nor keep you from, the damnation and misery that comes by sin.
