Then, when I applied myself to prayer and to spiritual reading, whereby I might perceive these truths, and the evil nature of the way I was walking in, and was often importunate with our Lord in tears, I was so wicked, that it availed me nothing; when I gave that up, and wasted my time in amusing myself, in great danger of falling into sin, and with scanty helps, and I may venture to say no help at all, unless it was a help to my ruin, what could I expect but that of which I have spoken?
