This deliverance presupposeth a former miserable condition; Men are not sail to be delivered from a good and happy condition; They are willing to continue and abide therein; But from a bad and miserable condition to be delivered is acceptable to any one: As when the Israelites were delivered from the Egyptian•, Exod. 18. 10. and men from their spiritual enemies, Luk. 1. 74. Such a deliverance is that which the Apostle here speaketh of; a deliverance from the worst bondage that any can fall into. Where the Apostle in reference to this bondage thus complaineth, O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death▪ He himself gives this satisfaction, I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord, R•. 7. 24, 25. That for which he thanks God is, that Christ had delivered him from the foresaid bondage; which he further confirmeth in these words, There is now no c• damnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, Rom. 8. 1. That redemption which is frequently attributed to Christ intendeth this deliverance.
