Augustus Toplady joins the cry with Apostle Paul — "oh wretched man that I am!"

     Augustus Toplady (1740-1778) (author of "Rock of Ages"), wrote in his private diary under Dec 31, 1767 — "Upon a review of the past year, I desire to confess that my unfaithfulness has been exceeding great; my sins still greater; God's mercies greater than both." And again, "My short- comings, and my mis-doings, my unbelieve and want of love, would sink me into the lowest hell, was not Jesus my righteousness and my Redeemer."

(The Christian in Roman 7 written by Arthur W. Pink)
