"Whether fallen man gets a privilege or a law, a blessing or a curse, it is all alike. His nature is bad:he can neither rest with nor work for God. If God works and makes a rest for him, he will not keep it; and if God tells him to work, he will not do it. Such is man; he has no heart for God.

Nothing can exceed the desperate unbelief and wickedness of the human heart, save the super-abounding grace of God."
