<p>I have so much opposition within, so many <br />
  temptations, lusts, and follies; so many <br />
  snares and besetments; and a vile heart, <br />
  dabbling in all carnality and filth. <br />
  <br />
  I am indeed exercised &quot;by sin and grace.&quot; <br />
  <br />
  Sin or grace seems continually uppermost; <br />
  striving and lusting against one another. <br />
  What . . .<br />
  listings, sorrowing;<br />
  falling, risings;<br />
  defeats, and victories. <br />
  <br />
  <strong>What a battlefield is the heart</strong>, and there <br />
  the fight is lost and won. When sin prevails, <br />
  mourning over its wounds and slaughter.<br />
  When grace and godly fear beat back <br />
  temptation, a softening into gratitude.
