What is he that is born of woman in the midst of all thy terrible Works?  He is but an edifice of dust, and a thing kneaded with water, whose beginning is sinful iniquity, and shameful nakedness, and over whom a spirit of straying rules … By Thy goodness alone is man righteous, and with Thy many mercies, Thou strengthenest him.

“The Thanksgiving Hymns” (Hymn 3), p. 181
