A09972 The lavv out lavved· Or, The charter of the Gospell shewing the priviledge and prerogative of the saints by vertue of the covenant Wherein these foure points of doctrine are properly observed, plainely proved, both by Scripture, and reason: and pithily applyed. Viz: doctrine 1 That he that is in the state of grace lyeth in no knowne sinne, no sinne hath dominion over him. 2 That sinne though it doth not raigne in the saints, yet it doth remaine and dwell in them. 3 That the way to overcome sinne, is to get assurance of the love, and grace, and favour of God, whereby it is forgiven them. 4 That whosoever is under the law, sinne hath dominion over him. By that late faithfull and worthy minister of Iesus Christ. Iohn Preston. Doctor in divinity, chaplaine in ordinary to his Majestie, master of Emmanuel Colledge in Cambridge, and sometimes preacher of Lincolnes Inne.

the_o law_n out_o law_v or_o the_o charter_n of_o the_o gospel_n show_v the_o privilege_n and_o prerogative_n of_o the_o saint_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n wherein_o these_o four_o point_n of_o doctrine_n be_v proper_o observe_v plain_o prove_v both_o by_o scripture_n and_o reason_n and_o pithy_o apply_v viz_o doctrine_n 1_o that_o he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n lie_v in_o no_o know_a sin_n no_o sin_n have_v dominion_n over_o he_o 2_o that_o sin_n though_o it_o do_v not_o reign_v in_o the_o saint_n yet_o it_o do_v remain_v and_o dwell_v in_o they_o 3_o that_o the_o way_n to_o overcome_v sin_n be_v to_o get_v assurance_n of_o the_o love_n and_o grace_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n whereby_o it_o be_v forgive_v they_o 4_o that_o whosoever_o be_v under_o the_o law_n sin_n have_v dominion_n over_o he_o by_o that_o late_a faithful_a and_o worthy_a minister_n of_o jesus_n christ._n john_n preston_n doctor_n in_o divinity_n chaplain_n in_o ordinary_a to_o his_o majesty_n master_n of_o emmanuel_n college_n in_o cambridge_n and_o sometime_o preacher_n of_o lincoln_n inn_n let_v not_o sin_n therefore_o reign_v in_o your_o mortal_a body_n that_o you_o shall_v obey_v the_o lust_n thereof_o rom._n 6.12_o edinburgh_n print_v by_o john_n wreittoun_n 1631._o roman_n 6.14_o for_o sin_n shall_v not_o have_v dominion_n over_o you_o for_o you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n these_o word_n be_v bring_v in_o thus_o the_o apostle_n exhorte_v they_o not_o to_o sin_n but_o to_o give_v their_o member_n as_o instrument_n unto_o righteousness_n and_o to_o move_v they_o to_o this_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o sin_n be_v not_o their_o lord_n now_o as_o it_o be_v heretofore_o and_o that_o it_o shall_v have_v no_o more_o dominion_n over_o they_o and_o therefore_o he_o bid_v they_o strive_v against_o it_o and_o then_o he_o add_v a_o reason_n of_o this_o because_o they_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n now_o christ_n have_v change_v their_o heart_n for_o while_o a_o man_n be_v under_o the_o law_n sin_n have_v dominion_n over_o he_o it_o tell_v he_o what_o to_o do_v but_o give_v he_o no_o power_n to_o do_v it_o but_o you_o have_v the_o grace_n of_o sanctification_n to_o change_v your_o heart_n and_o enable_v you_o to_o every_o good_a word_n and_o work_n so_o that_o you_o delight_v in_o the_o law_n after_o the_o inner_a man_n albeit_o you_o see_v another_o law_n in_o your_o member_n roar_v against_o the_o law_n in_o your_o mind_n and_o bring_v you_o into_o captivity_n to_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v your_o member_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o 7._o chapter_n and_o the_o 23._o verse_n whence_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n lie_v in_o no_o know_a sin_n doct._n no_o sin_n have_v dominion_n over_o he_o now_o sin_n be_v say_v to_o have_v no_o dominion_n over_o a_o man_n three_o manner_n of_o way_n viz._n in_o regard_n q_o it_o have_v no_o right_a to_o rule_v over_o he_o it_o be_v no_o more_o our_o lord_n but_o be_v as_o a_o servant_n that_o have_v no_o dominion_n but_o be_v say_v to_o offer_v violence_n to_o we_o as_o if_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n shall_v rule_v over_o we_o he_o have_v no_o dominion_n over_o we_o second_o in_o regard_n it_o be_v not_o obey_v for_o there_o it_o have_v dominion_n as_o a_o prince_n may_v have_v right_a to_o a_o kingdom_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o obey_v he_o have_v no_o dominion_n three_o in_o regard_n though_o it_o strive_v against_o we_o yet_o it_o never_o get_v the_o victory_n for_o though_o it_o assault_v we_o yet_o if_o it_o get_v not_o the_o victory_n it_o have_v no_o but_o beside_o these_o scripture_n there_o be_v other_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o regenerate_a man_n can_v lie_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n reas._n first_o because_o he_o that_o lie_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n have_v another_o for_o his_o lord_n and_o god_n and_o so_o be_v a_o idolater_n and_o so_o can_v be_v regenerate_v for_o he_o yield_v to_o the_o same_o still_o if_o it_o command_v he_o obey_v god_n command_v he_o he_o neglect_v it_o and_o therefore_o make_v it_o his_o god_n reas_n second_o because_o he_o lie_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n will_v be_v unconstant_a in_o the_o serve_n of_o god_n now_o god_n reject_v such_o a_o one_o for_o though_o the_o temptation_n to_o that_o sin_n be_v remove_v he_o serve_v god_n yet_o that_o sin_n set_v upon_o he_o he_o forsake_v god_n service_n and_o obey_v it_o and_o when_o soever_o occasion_n be_v offer_v he_o turn_v to_o obey_v it_o now_o such_o unconstancy_n god_n hate_v as_o among_o man_n a_o flower_n though_o it_o more_o beautyfull_a than_o a_o pearl_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o regard_v so_o much_o because_o it_o be_v fade_v and_o a_o ship_n may_v sail_v safe_a a_o great_a while_n but_o yet_o fall_v upon_o a_o rock_n make_v shipwreck_n of_o faith_n and_o good_a conscience_n and_o such_o a_o one_o can_v be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n reas_n three_o because_o he_o that_o lie_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n will_v if_o he_o have_v like_o strong_a temptation_n commit_v all_o the_o sin_n in_o the_o world_n as_o be_v a_o man_n incline_v to_o covetousness_n or_o uncleanness_n he_o will_v commit_v any_o other_o if_o he_o be_v as_o much_o incline_v to_o any_o other_o now_o such_o a_o one_o can_v be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n four_o because_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o good_a heart_n no_o sin_n can_v grow_v there_o because_o it_o be_v out_o of_o its_o proper_a place_n and_o therefore_o can_v prosper_v as_o plant_n that_o grow_v in_o india_n if_o they_o be_v set_v here_o wither_v so_o every_o sin_n in_o a_o good_a heart_n be_v out_o of_o its_o proper_a place_n and_o will_v not_o grow_v but_o wither_v every_o day_n more_o and_o more_o but_o he_o that_o find_v sin_n grow_v in_o his_o heart_n his_o heart_n be_v not_o regenerate_v reas_n five_o because_o he_o must_v hate_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o godly_a man_n for_o when_o a_o man_n be_v ready_a to_o commit_v sin_n the_o word_n be_v at_o he_o to_o dissuade_v he_o godly_a man_n dissuade_v he_o and_o therefore_o now_o if_o he_o do_v it_o and_o they_o still_o rebuke_v he_o he_o come_v to_o account_v the_o word_n a_o reproach_n and_o he_o hate_v it_o and_o good_a man_n likewise_o thus_o john_n be_v herod_n friend_n a_o great_a while_n till_o he_o tell_v he_o of_o his_o belove_a s●●_n and_o then_o off_o go_v head_n so_o they_o hate_v god_n and_o wish_n that_o there_o be_v none_o because_o he_o resolve_v to_o sin_n and_o god_n reprove_v he_o and_o so_o he_o can_v be_v in_o a_o good_a estate_n reas_n six_o and_o last_o because_o all_o his_o action_n will_v have_v a_o evil_a tincture_n from_o that_o his_o sin_n it_o so_o wey_v all_o he_o do_v so_o that_o nothing_o be_v currant_n in_o god_n sight_n as_o if_o a_o man_n be_v set_v to_o get_v honour_n though_o he_o do_v not_o direct_o fall_v into_o that_o sin_n yet_o he_o square_v all_o his_o action_n that_o way_n he_o affect_v such_o person_n that_o may_v further_o that_o his_o intent_n so_o that_o sin_n leaven_v every_o action_n of_o he_o and_o whensoever_o any_o act_n of_o religion_n oppose_v he_o he_o than_o forsake_v all_o as_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o project_n to_o get_v a_o harvest_n that_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v all_o that_o he_o do_v be_v for_o that_o end_n he_o plow_v sow_v and_o the_o like_a so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o sin_n and_o resolve_n to_o follow_v it_o he_o by-useth_a all_o his_o action_n by_o that_o therefore_o god_n abhor_v he_o and_o all_o that_o he_o do_v first_o this_o be_v to_o try_v we_o use_v every_o man_n may_v know_v if_o he_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n or_o no_o if_o he_o lie_v in_o the_o least_o know_a sin_n that_o be_v he_o be_v but_o counterfeit_n if_o though_o he_o be_v admonish_v and_o tell_v that_o god_n will_v not_o have_v he_o to_o do_v such_o a_o thing_n yet_o he_o do_v it_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n he_o be_v not_o in_o a_o good_a estate_n as_o if_o a_o man_n know_v and_o be_v persuade_v he_o ought_v not_o to_o abound_v in_o idle_a speech_n and_o yet_o will_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n he_o be_v not_o in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n so_o when_o he_o be_v command_v he_o ought_v to_o pray_v and_o yet_o do_v it_o not_o or_o do_v it_o only_o for_o show_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n he_o be_v in_o a_o bad_a estate_n for_o if_o he_o know_v its_o a_o sin_n to_o be_v idle_a and_o it_o come_v into_o his_o mind_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o and_o be_v persuade_v of_o it_o and_o yet_o
