"Why wouldst thou be a breeder of
sinners?...yet I could accuse 1815
me of such things that it were better my mother had not borne me.
I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious; with more offences at my
beck than I have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give
them shape, or time to act them in. What should such fellows as I
do, crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves all; 1820
believe none of us..."
The Tragedy Of Hamlet Prince Of Denmark [Act III Scene I Line 1814-]
How often have I looked upon myself in such dark misery? What light God has shed upon my sinful state? How shall I ever look upon myself and think of me ill when my salvation, my very self, was purchased at such high price, even by the blood of God Himself in the person of Jesus Christ!? How now shall I live? Not I say, as a man so tormented as he in whom my reflection used to lie. Nay! I shall continue on toward the prise of Christ that I may look in all my being liken to the gift of pardon I have been given. "What should such fellows as I do, crawling between earth and heaven?" I shall take up my cross, and run joyfully into the open arms of my loving Abba in whom I find my worth.
