165 " ' My Lydia,' I said, ■ you are warm.' " 'Am I?' she answered, smiling. 'Excuse me, my dear mother. But let me entreat you, do not praise me in future: depend upon it, that I don't deserve praise; that I am nothing ; and that, in myself, I never can be otherwise than nothing.' n ■ I do not understand this, Lydia,' I answered. " She seemed surprised, and said, ■ My dear mother, how is this? Are you not aware of the views of reli- gion which were given me by the tutor you placed over me?' " ...I had never heard her mention Mr. Berrington's name, or allude to him, since the day when she had made the confession of her regard for him ; but she now did it with so much ease, that I flattered myself she had ceased to think of him except as the instructor of her youth: whereupon 1 replied, 'I am not aware of your having acquired any principles but such as I enter- tain, and such as are generally taught by the Church ; that is, if I understand the doctrines of our Church aright. However,' I added, ■ this is very certain, that I do not understand why, when you allow yourself, for argument's sake, to be a good and pious person, you still say, that in yourself you are nothing, and that it is almost sacrilege to appropriate praise to yourself.' " ■ Because,' she replied, ■ that even granting myself to be one of the excellent of the earth, which, Heaven is my witness, I dare not presume to suppose, excepting for argument's sake, I still hold it unlawful to receive any sort of praise as my due ; inasmuch as I am natu- rally altogether vile, lost, and undone; yea, and unable to help myself.
