Latin Grammar: Uses of the Accusative
Et omnia dilexi plus quam te, creatorem et redemptorem, nutritorem et conservatorem meum. Et ideo misericordiam tuam peto, quia miser sum ex me et quia non agnovi benignam patientiam tuam in me. Non timui horrendam equitatem tuam, non attendebam, quid tibi pro innumerabilibus bonis tuis responderem, sed contra de die in diem te malis meis provocabam. Propterea non habeo nisi unicum verbum ad te, scilicet: Miserere me, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam!'
