A crowd of selfish fears trouble me, and tyrannize over my mindj Bnd excite a lively sensibility* The principal means to cure this is to yield youcsdf up sincerely to God, to plice all your interests, plieasures, and reputation in his hands, to receive all the sufferings that* he may inflict jupon you in. this scene of humiliation, as trials and tests of your love to him, neither to fear, the scrutiny, nor^ to avoid the censure oi mankind. This state of willing acquiescence produces true libert...y, and this liberty brings perfect simplicity, A spul that is liber* ated from the Iktle earthly interests of self-love, becomes confiding, and moves. straight onward, and its views ex* pand even to infinity, just in proportion as its forgetful- ness of self increases,, and its peace is profound even in Ae midst of trouble. I have ah'eady said, that the opinion of the worid confonns to the judgment of Gbd, upon tbb noble sim- plicity. The world ^dmires^ evien in its votaric's, the fvee and easy manners of a person who has lost sight of self.
