January 1

O MY Saviour Christ, Christ my Saviour! who will grant that I may die rather than again offend Thee! Christ my Saviour, O my Saviour! Lord, let a new manner of life prove that a new spirit hath descended on me; for true penitence is new life, and true praise unremitted penitence, and the observation of a perpetual Sabbath from sin, its occasions, fuel, and danger.

For as penitence destroys old sins, so do new sins destroy BISHOP ANDREWES penitence.

PENITENCE AND HOPE
