THE LAW OVT 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 Let not sinne therefore raigne in your mortall bodies that you should obey the lusts thereof Rom. 6. 12. EDINBVRGH Printed by Iohn Wreittoun 1633. Romans 6. 14. For sinne shall not have dominion over you for you are not under the law but under grace THese words are brought in thus the Apostle exhortes them not to sinne but to give their members as instruments unto righteousnes and to move them to this he tels them that sin was not their Lord now as it was heeretofore and that it shall have no more dominion over them and therefore he bids them strive against it and then he adds a reason of this because they were not under the law but under grace now Christ hath changed their hearts for while a man is under the Law sinne hath dominion over him it tels him what to doe but gives him no power to doe it but you have the grace of sanctification to change your hearts and enable you to every good word and worke so that you delight in the Law after the inner man albeit you see another law in your members roaring against the Law in your minde and bringing you into captivity to the law of sin which is your members as it is said in the 7. chapter and the 23. verse Whence wee may learne Doct That hee that is in the state of grace lyeth in no knowne sinne no sinne hath dominion over him Now sinne is said to have no Dominion over a man three manner of wayes viz. in regard Q It hath no right to rule over him it is no more our Lord but is as a servant that hath no dominion but is said to offer violence to us as if the King of Spaine should rule over us he hath no dominion over us Secondly In regard it s not obeyed for there it hath dominion as a Prince may have right to a kingdome yet he be not obeyed he hath no dominion Thirdly in regard though it strive against us yet it never gets the victory for though it a●… us yet if it g●t not the victory it hath no dominion over us this is proved by their similitudes which must bee explained viz. First it was our Master and we its servants but n●w we have changed our Masters and are become the servants of righteousnes Secondly it is said that we were married to sinne and it had dominion vers 8 and command over us as the husband over the wife but now it is dead and there is a divorce betweene us and now wee are married to Christ and hee commands us and wee obey Thirdly it is said we were dead to sinne and alive to God and therefore verse 6 we cannot live in sinne for command a dead body to goe about a bussinesse and hee cannot because hee is dead Quest. Now the reasons of the point bee these the is taken from Christ all wee are ingrafted into Christ and Reas into his death and into the similituds of his resurrection verse 5. that we are grafted as a graft into Christ and all the old sappes taken away and we have new sap and bring foorth new fruite and have no other because we grow in another tree and wee live to God yet wee may commit sinne though we allow not our selves in it for they that are in Christ have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts thereof if therefore there be any lust in him he is not Christ Againe if any man bee in Christ he is new creature and therefore he doth not wallow in hisould sinnes so saith God I will give you a new heart and all things are become new and old things are done away therefore wee cannot lye in any knowne sinne Againe whosoever is in Christ hath receaved of his fullnes grace for grace in him we are able to doe all things and therefore if we cannot strive against old sinnes wee are not in Christ and therefore wee must strive to bee compleat Secondly because we have the Spirit of God ruling in us and therefore Reas we walke after the Spirit and not after the flesh now if wee lye in any knowne sinne we have not the Spirit and therefore are not in the state of grace if any man have not the Spirit of grace he is not the Sonne of God now if he walke after the flesh he hath not the Spirit for the spirit gives him ability to strive against all sinnes Thirdly he is borne of God now ●ee that is borne of God sinneth not that is it ruleth not over him for a man is said to sinne that favours wickednes and setteth his heart to sinne he sinneth not because he is like God as a sonne is like his father and therefore a wicked man is like the devill because hee is his Father and his wickednes is in him and therefore the devill is called the ●ather of the wicked and so every regenerat man hath all the righteousnes of Christ though not in the same degree he hath perfective holynes of parts though not of degrees now then he hath no member of Satan in him that is no known sinne which hee loveth Fourthly because he hath the whole law written in his heart and Reas his heart is set to obey the whole law and therefore he cannot lye in any knowne sinne Fifthly because hee is wholly changed and translated to another man Reas which is exprest two wayes Quest The whole drift of his minde is changed as suppose the earth were made fire the whole vent of it were to goe upward so a man is wholly bent towards heaven or els his heart is not changed and if so hee can lye in no knowne sinne Sixtly he is changed in his tast S. Paul saith they that are in Christ Reas savour not the things of the flesh but of the spirit every sinne is bitter to the regenerate man if it bee not then hee savoureth the things of the flesh to this is that agreable keepe this feast with vnleavened bread and not with old leaven of maliciousnes we must be unleavened bread to Christ wee must give no allowance to sinne
