It was not in order that Hew Lingard should look, should feel, as he was now looking and feeling that she had made the great renouncement-the renouncement which Wantele had implored her with such fierce, passionate energy to refrain from making.

This is the perfect self-renouncement, without which, one cannot be the disciple of the Lord Jesus.
"Letters of Madam Guyon"
P. L. Upham
Relative to the distinct, voluntary acts of resignation, renouncement, it would be difficult, in my present state, to make such acts, because such acts would seem to imply something of self-appropriation still remaining; whereas, I have given to my Sovereign, all that I am; and as far as I know, I have nothing more to give him.
