Excerpt from Entire Absolution of the Penitent: A Sermon Preached Before the University, in the Cathedral Church of Christ, in Oxford on the First Sunday in Advent, 1846
Rationale, ad loc.mind, far from being able to use collected thought or disentangle its maze of sins, sinks down exhausted with any effort, and can only cry in the fewest words wherein prayer can be formed, Lord, have mercy, know well that they would not, for the whole world, have to dis burthen their conscience then. It is, (as they well know, who have either undergone, or, by witnessing, have shared the healthful suffering) it is enough often, even in health, to turn the head dizzy, when the soul brings before itself the dismal heap of all the heavier sins of a whole life,which by God's grace it can recall. Even then, it must cry out.
