And thus some, as they live sorrowfully all their days, so they also die sadly: they have been leaning on their own righteousness as far as they could all their life long; sometimes hanging upon one twig, and sometimes upon another; and one breaks, and the other breaks, and here they get a fall, and there they get a fall; but at last, if the Lord hath mercy upon them, they are made to see the vanity of all these shifts, and then they betake themselves in earnest to that which is without them, to a righteousness that they have no hand in, that is wrought out by Christ alone, and given by pure grace.
Robert Traill — Sermon II on Galatians 2:21, in Select Practical Writings of Robert Traill (Edinburgh: Printed for the Assembly's Committee of the Free Church of Scotland, 1845), p. 44
