“How canst thou become such a hypocrite,” said I, even audibly, “to pretend to be thankful for a condition which, however thou mayest endeavour to be contented with, thou wouldst rather pray heartily to be delivered from?” So I stopped there; but though I could not say I thanked God for being there, yet I sincerely gave thanks to God for opening my eyes, by whatever afflicting providences, to see the former condition of my life, and to mourn for my wickedness, and repent.
Nem azért kellett hálálkodnom Istennek, hogy itt vagyok, hanem azért, hogy felnyitotta a szememet, és jóságának köszönhetően megpillanthattam gonoszságomat és megbánhattam azt.
