And so that great Apostle Paul does not cry out, O wretched man that I am, that bonds attend me in every place, and that I have neither house nor home to go to, and that I am despised, scorned, reproached and persecuted, and that I am accounted factious, seditious, rebellious, erroneous, and that I am looked upon as the off-scouring of the world, &c. O no, but he cries out of his sin; O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from this body of death? Rom. 7.23, 24.
