Psalm 55:7

“Terrified by my sins and the load of my misery, I had resolved in my heart, and meditated flight into the wilderness; but Thou didst forbid me, and didst strengthen me, saying, therefore, Christ “died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them.”” — editor's note: Ps. lv. 7.

““Behold I have gone afar fleeing, and have abode in the desert” (ver. 7).” — the author cites it

“I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.”” — editor's note: Ps. lv. 7, 8.

“As to the cause, either of my original revolt and cowardice, in which I got me away far off, and remained away from you for a time, which perhaps seemed long to those who missed me; or of the present gentleness and change of mind, in which I have given myself up…” — editor's note: Ps. lv. 7.
