S. BERN. Hom. 81 in Cant.

Miserable man! Who shall deliver me from the reproach of this shamefull bondage? I am a miserable man; but a free man: free, because a man; Miserable, because a servant: In regard of my bondage, miserable; In regard of my will, inexcusable: For my will, that was free, beslaved it selfe to sinne, by assenting to sinne; for he that commits sin, is the servant to sinne.
