How much reason have I to be thankful, that it hath pleased God to lay this affliction of bodily sickness upon me! Assuredly I was going in the broad way to destruction. For though there was nothing openly gross or scandalous in my conduct, yet a very little reflection convinces me, that my life had nothing to do with that of a Christian.—God was not in my thoughts. I consulted self only.
