Chapter 33 — Part IV: Prayer — On Prayer in General
Section 37. The Lowest Degree Of Prayer: The Prayer Of The Impenitent — The last degree is that of those who not only do not repent of their sins and enormities, but, adding crime to crime, dare frequently to ask pardon of God for those sins, in which they are resolved to continue. With such dispositions they would not presume to ask pardon from their fellow-man.
