"Constant self-abasement, condemnation, and abhorrency is another duty that is directly opposed unto the...rule of sin in the soul. No frame of mind is a better antidote against the poison of sin...It is the soil wherein all grace will thrive and flourish...To keep our souls in a constant state of mourning and self-abasement is the most necessary part of our wisdom."
