“Even in the saints themselves, with all the forces that faith can muster, sin is scarcely kept under, but the flesh will be lusting against the spirit.  And when their affections do not cleave to sin, yet sin will cleave to their affections and make them cry out with St. Paul, O wretch that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death?  The victory is by Christ Jesus; it is death which kills sin.” Ralph Venning  (1621-1674)
