In writing to Daniel West in 1774, John Newton described himself in the following manner:
"As to myself, I would tell you how it is with me if I could: at the best, it would be an inconsistent account. . . . I am a sinner, believing in the name of Jesus. I am a silly sheep, but I have a gracious, watchful Shepherd. I am a dull scholar, but I have a Master who can make the dullest learn. He still bears with me, He still employs me, He still enables me, He still owns me. Oh for a coal of heavenly fire to warm my heart, that I might praise him as I ought! As a people, we have much cause of complaint in ourselves, and much cause of thankfulness to him."
