No, he hath delivered, and he doth deliver us spiritually. He hath 1delivered us from the power of hell, and damnation, he doth deliver us from many sins that we should commit: and when we have sinned, he delivers us from despair, he delivers us from presuming, by touching our hearts with saving grief for sin; if we belong to him, one of the two ways he delivers, either from the sin or from the danger of the sin, either from the committing of the sin or from despairing for the sin, or presuming in a course of sin.

Who delivereth us from our inbred corruptions? Should we not run every day into the sins that we see others commit? Who cuts short our lusts, and suppresseth them, that we are not swearers, that we are not licentious persons, that we are not Godless persons? are we not hewn out of the same rock? Who keeps us from sin? Is it any inbred goodness? Are we not all a like tainted with original fin? Children of wrath? Who puts a difference between us and others? It is God that hath delivered us, and that doth deliver us.
