Excerpt from Essays to Do Good: Addressed to All Christians, Whether in Public or Private Capacities But as for you, who have been brought home to God, you have great cause not only to lament the dark days of your unregeneracy, in which you produéed only the unfruitful works of darkness, but also that you have done so little since God has quickened you and enabled you to do better. How little have you lived up to those strains of gratitude which might justly have been expected from you since God brought you into his marvellous light The best of us may mourn in his complaints, and say, O Lord, how little good have I done, compared with what I might have done Let the sense of this cause us to loathe and judge ourselves before the Lord, let it fill us with shame, and abase us wonderfully. Let us, like David, water our couch with tears, when we consider how little good we have done. 0 that our heads were waters, because they have been so dry of all thoughts to do good. 0 that our eyes were a fountain of tears.
