Humility when advanc'd into Heaven, is most illustriously Triumphant in Self denial: Saints when glorify'd, wear their May Crowns, with a blusting Modesty, in Homage to Christ, who is All in All, for their Compleatness in Holiness, and Stability in the state of Heavenly Felicity.

, aged about 40 Years. I endeavoured to make him sensible of this great and Barbarous Crime, but he several times extenuated it, saying that he and his Wife liv'd lovingly together and that she was a very good Wife, and therefore that he did not intend to kill her out of malice; but she reproving him for neglecting his business, and there upon not having Money to supply her Occasions, and other Reflections on him, he was so enraged with Passion, that he flung the Knif at her, which Wounded her Mortally, that she dy'd immediatly. I reply'd, That at his Trial it was prov'd that he did the Fact, not only in Passion, but with an ill Intention, because that the Wound was three Inches deep; and that the pretence of their living lovingly before, did rather aggrivate the Crime, so that a just reproof ought not to have inraged him against her. I daily endeavour'd to make him sensible of the Crime; yet, still he lessned it, and I observed not, that at any time he shed any Tears for it; yet, he Confest, that he thought that God left him to this violence of Passion, because he had sinn'd against him, and did not Repent; in particular, He acknowleged that he did not keep the Duties of the Lord's-Day, was sometimes Drunk, and did often Swear and Curse in his Passion, but that now God in Justice brought these Sins to his Remembrance to humble him, and quicken him to Repentance, and that he hoped the Sentence of Death on him, was to his Souls advantage.

I told him that this was his Duty, and tho' he shed Tears, yet that his Repentance was not sincere, if he did not prevent Coining in others. He said, that his Life had not been Scandalous openly, yet he had committed several Sins, but did not mention them in Particular.

, who tempted him to join with him, but that Denny himself, did not enter into the House broken up, and that he had not any part of the Spoil. He said, that his Life had not been Vicious, but he neglected Religious Duties, which exposed him to bad Company. He was attentive to Exhortations and Prayers, and very Penitent, and said if his Life may be spared, he hopes he shall amend it, and be Serviceable and Faithful in any future Employment. I do think he is truely Penitent.
