Who shall deliver me
How lively a portrait this is of one under the law. One who feels the burden he cannot shake off, who pants after liberty, power, and love, but is in fear and bondage still, until the time that God answers the wretched man, crying out, Who shall deliver me from this bondage of sin, from this body of death? The grace of God, through Jesus Christ your Lord.

11. How lively a portraiture is this of one under the law! One who feels the burthen he cannot shake off; who pants after liberty, power and love, but is in fear and bondage still! Until the time that God answers the wretched man, crying out, Who shall deliver me, from this bondage of sin, from this body of death? The grace of God, through Jesus Christ thy Lord.
