If from a sense of thy vileness thou do pour out thy heart to God,
desiring to be saved from the guilt and cleansed from the filth with
all thy heart, fear not; thy vileness will not cause the Lord to
stop his ear from hearing thee. The value of the blood of Christ,
which is sprinkled upon the mercy-seat, stops the course of justice,
and opens a floodgate for the mercy of the Lord to be extended unto
thee.
