Let us, then, come over wholly to the Lord's side. All on his part is full and free. There is no hesitation,—there are no half measures with him; but full and free forgiveness, full and free reconciliation, full and free expiation of guilt, and the full and free gift of the sanctifying Spirit. On our part, too, let there be the like fulness and freeness. Let God be all and in all. So shall we be preserved from those fluctuations between God and the world, those vicissitudes of compliance and compunction, which imbitter the life, and must torture the death, of him who, in the vain attempt to serve two masters, sins and is sorry; is "exceeding sorry," and yet goes on to sin.
Robert Candlish — Ch. VII, "Herod: Weakness Growing into Wickedness" (Mark 6:14-19), in Scripture Characters (London, Edinburgh and New York: T. Nelson and Sons, 1857), p. 142
