William Gurnall

Paul was Nero's prisoner, but Nero was much more God's. . . But how does the great apostle spend his time in prison?. . . We read of no dispatches sent to court to procure his liberty; but many to the churches, to help them to stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ had made them free. . . The devil had as good have let Paul alone, for he no sooner comes into prison but he falls a preaching, at which the gates of Satan's prison fly open, and poor sinners come forth.
