be_v bring_v in_o thus_o the_o apostle_n exhort_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

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

another_o law_n in_o your_o member_n war_a against_o the_o law_n of_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 in_o your_o member_n as_o it_o be_v say_v chap._n 7._o ver_fw-la 23._o whence_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o 1._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 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 1._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 2._o in_o regard_v 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 if_o he_o be_v not_o obey_v he_o have_v no_o dominion_n 3._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 dominion_n over_o we_o this_o be_v prove_v by_o three_o similitude_n which_o must_v be_v explain_v viz._n first_o it_o be_v our_o master_n and_o we_o its_o servant_n but_o now_o we_o have_v change_v our_o master_n and_o be_v become_v the_o servant_n of_o righteousness_n ver_fw-la 18._o second_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v marry_v to_o sin_n and_o it_o have_v dominion_n and_o command_n over_o we_o as_o the_o husband_n over_o the_o wife_n but_o now_o it_o be_v dead_a and_o there_o be_v a_o divorce_n between_o we_o and_o now_o we_o be_v marry_v to_o christ_n and_o he_o command_v we_o and_o we_o obey_v three_o it_o be_v say_v we_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n and_o alive_a to_o god_n ver_fw-la 11._o and_o therefore_o we_o can_v live_v in_o sin_n for_o command_v a_o dead_a body_n to_o go_v about_o a_o business_n and_o he_o can_v because_o he_o be_v dead_a now_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o point_n be_v these_o the_o first_o 1_o be_v take_v from_o christ_n we_o be_v ingraft_v into_o christ_n and_o into_o his_o death_n and_o into_o the_o similitude_n of_o his_o resurrection_n verse_n 5._o we_o be_v graft_v as_o a_o graft_n into_o christ_n and_o all_o the_o old_a sap_n be_v take_v away_o and_o we_o have_v new_a sap_n and_o bring_v forth_o new_a fruit_n and_o have_v no_o other_o because_o we_o grow_v in_o another_o tree_n and_o we_o live_v to_o god_n yet_o we_o may_v commit_v sin_n though_o we_o allow_v not_o ourselves_o in_o it_o for_o they_o that_o be_v christ_n have_v crucify_v the_o flesh_n with_o the_o affection_n and_o last_v thereof_o if_o therefore_o there_o be_v any_o lust_n reign_v in_o we_o we_o be_v not_o in_o christ._n again_o if_o any_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n he_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o wallow_v in_o his_o old_a sin_n so_o say_v god_n i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o new_a heart_n and_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a and_o old_a thing_n be_v do_v away_o therefore_o we_o can_v lve_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n again_o whosoever_o be_v in_o christ_n have_v receive_v of_o his_o fullness_n and_o grace_n for_o grace_n in_o he_o we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v all_o thing_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o can_v strive_v against_o old_a sin_n we_o be_v not_o in_o christ._n second_o because_o we_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n rule_v in_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o after_o the_o flesh_n now_o if_o we_o lie_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n we_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n if_o any_o man_n have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n he_o be_v not_o the_o son_n of_o god_n now_o if_o he_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n he_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n for_o the_o spirit_n give_v he_o ability_n to_o strive_v against_o all_o sin_n three_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n now_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n sin_v not_o that_o be_v sin_n rule_v not_o over_o he_o for_o a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o sin_n that_o favour_v wickedness_n and_o set_v his_o heart_n to_o sin_n he_o sin_v not_o because_o he_o be_v like_o god_n as_o a_o son_n be_v like_o his_o father_n and_o therefore_o a_o wicked_a man_n be_v like_o the_o devil_n because_o he_o be_v his_o father_n and_o his_o wickedness_n be_v in_o he_o and_o therefore_o the_o devil_n be_v call_v the_o father_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o so_o every_o regenerate_a man_n have_v all_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n though_o not_o in_o the_o same_o degree_n he_o have_v perfect_a holiness_n of_o part_n though_o not_o of_o degree_n now_o than_o he_o have_v no_o member_n of_o satan_n in_o he_o that_o be_v no_o

it_o do_v not_o reign_v in_o the_o saint_n yet_o 2._o do_v remain_v and_o dwell_v in_o they_o for_o proof_n whereof_o see_v this_o place_n of_o scripture_n if_o any_o man_n think_v say_v 8._o saint_n

as_o his_o grace_n be_v not_o perfect_a 2._o the_o flesh_n lust_v against_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o it_o be_v plain_a there_o be_v sin_n in_o we_o yea_o so_o much_o that_o often_o time_n it_o

do_v dwell_v in_o they_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v 1._o to_o humble_v we_o and_o to_o make_v we_o see_v what_o be_v in_o 1_o our_o heart_n and_o to_o make_v we_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n bring_v

but_o see_v he_o subdue_a pardon_v our_o sin_n we_o see_v what_o need_n we_o have_v of_o he_o how_o that_o we_o be_v lose_v without_o he_o 3._o that_o we_o may_v exercise_v our_o faith_n 1_o joh._n 3._o 2._o 3_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o it_o do_v not_o yet_o appear_v what_o we_o shall_v be_v etc._n etc._n so_o god_n have_v hide_v his_o child_n under_o baseness_n that_o their_o faith_n may_v be_v exercise_v for_o thing_n we_o see_v we_o may_v easy_o believe_v but_o faith_n be_v of_o thing_n not_o see_v therefore_o god_n do_v as_o man_n do_v hide_v jewel_n under_o base_a place_n where_o man_n will_v look_v least_o for_o they_o wherefore_o wicked_a man_n stumble_v and_o be_v offend_v at_o this_o because_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v make_v a_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n that_o we_o need_v and_o believe_v the_o remission_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n but_o let_v we_o apply_v it_o 1._o this_o shall_v teach_v we_o not_o to_o be_v discourage_v 1_o for_o those_o infirmity_n that_o be_v in_o we_o for_o there_o be_v such_o in_o every_o saint_n sin_n be_v a_o guest_n to_o evil_a man_n but_o a_o thief_n to_o the_o godly_a which_o they_o will_v not_o have_v come_v in_o their_o heart_n so_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o wear_v a_o chain_n as_o a_o ornament_n and_o another_o as_o a_o fetter_n to_o restrain_v they_o therefore_o the_o godly_a ought_v not_o to_o be_v discourage_v but_o to_o assure_v themselves_o they_o be_v under_o grace_n 2._o we_o must_v not_o censure_v man_n for_o the_o slip_n and_o fall_v we_o see_v in_o they_o for_o we_o must_v remember_v 2._o that_o sin_n dwell_v in_o they_o we_o must_v not_o present_o judge_v they_o to_o be_v hypocrite_n be_v not_o many_o master_n say_v s._n james_n that_o be_v censure_v he_o not_o for_o he_o stand_v or_o fall_v to_o his_o own_o master_n rome_n 14._o 4._o 3._o this_o shall_v teach_v we_o to_o be_v watchful_a and_o not_o to_o think_v our_o labour_n be_v at_o a_o end_n when_o we_o be_v in_o the_o 3_o state_n of_o grace_n for_o sin_n still_o dwell_v in_o we_o and_o though_o we_o have_v the_o victory_n over_o sin_n one_o day_n it_o will_v fight_v against_o we_o the_o next_o day_n as_o in_o a_o garden_n the_o weed_n will_v grow_v because_o the_o root_n be_v not_o quite_o pluck_v up_o and_o take_v away_o so_o sin_n be_v in_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v think_v it_o will_v fight_v against_o we_o and_o vex_v we_o and_o therefore_o i_o say_v let_v we_o renew_v our_o strength_n now_o for_o this_o we_o must_v do_v these_o two_o thing_n first_o weaken_v sin_n second_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o make_v we_o watchful_a and_o so_o i_o have_v also_o do_v with_o the_o second_o doctrine_n again_o from_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o these_o word_n or_o reason_n of_o the_o promise_n make_v unto_o they_o in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o this_o verse_n that_o sin_n shall_v not_o have_v dominion_n over_o they_o because_o they_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n i_o gather_v this_o conclusion_n viz._n 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 of_o 3._o god_n and_o that_o it_o be_v forgive_v they_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n promise_v they_o sin_n shall_v not_o have_v dominion_n over_o they_o be_v because_o they_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n that_o be_v they_o have_v assurance_n of_o god_n love_n and_o that_o their_o sin_n be_v forgive_v they_o this_o be_v prove_v from_o that_o faith_n purify_v the_o heart_n and_o you_o repent_v and_o believe_v the_o gospel_n now_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v these_o four_o especial_o 1._o because_o it_o be_v the_o mean_n to_o get_v the_o spirit_n without_o which_o no_o sin_n be_v forgive_v which_o come_v by_o 1_o faith_n for_o it_o be_v not_o receive_v by_o the_o law_n for_o so_o say_v the_o apostle_n receive_v you_o the_o spirit_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n or_o by_o the_o hear_n of_o faith_n gal._n 3._o 2._o second_o it_o be_v the_o way_n to_o make_v we_o believe_v the_o promise_n to_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o we_o be_v transform_v 2._o into_o a_o heavenly_a nature_n for_o when_o we_o believe_v the_o promise_n be_v true_a that_o work_v love_n in_o we_o and_o love_n transform_v we_o into_o the_o divine_a nature_n without_o which_o no_o sin_n be_v overcome_v three_o because_o hereby_o we_o be_v able_a to_o resist_v the_o tentation_n which_o be_v either_o for_o the_o enjoy_n of_o 3_o good_a or_o flee_v of_o evil_n so_o that_o these_o promise_n propound_v more_o good_a than_o sin_n can_v harm_v sin_n threaten_v the_o loss_n of_o outward_a thing_n but_o the_o promise_n propound_v eternal_a life_n which_o be_v better_o than_o all_o thing_n else_o in_o the_o world_n four_o because_o we_o do_v delight_n in_o god_n for_o when_o we_o do_v believe_v in_o god_n that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v we_o in_o christ_n than_o we_o look_v at_o god_n as_o on_o a_o merciful_a father_n and_o then_o we_o cease_v to_o delight_v in_o the_o world_n and_o we_o begin_v to_o delight_v ourselves_o in_o the_o lord_n the_o use_n hereof_o be_v first_o for_o direction_n to_o teach_v we_o 1_o the_o way_n how_o to_o heal_v a_o sin_n and_o that_o be_v to_o get_v assurance_n that_o it_o be_v pardon_v and_o forgive_v for_o legal_a terror_n do_v not_o heal_v a_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v faith_n that_o purify_v the_o heart_n and_o purify_n pacify_v it_o as_o a_o traitor_n will_v not_o come_v in_o when_o he_o hear_v a_o proclamation_n out_o for_o his_o death_n but_o when_o he_o hear_v he_o shall_v live_v and_o be_v pardon_v this_o make_v he_o to_o come_v in_o so_o we_o when_o we_o only_o fix_v our_o eye_n upon_o the_o legal_a terror_n shall_v not_o heal_v our_o sin_n but_o when_o we_o believe_v they_o be_v pardon_v this_o heal_v they_o but_o sorrow_n and_o a_o break_a heart_n be_v require_v for_o object_n sinner_n to_o be_v assure_v of_o their_o forgiveness_n this_o sorrow_n be_v not_o so_o much_o command_v but_o it_o answ._n be_v that_o whereby_o god_n prepare_v his_o servant_n heart_n to_o make_v they_o see_v what_o need_n they_o have_v of_o pardon_n and_o so_o they_o may_v ask_v pardon_n but_o

most_o unapt_a in_o a_o word_n that_o wherein_o we_o do_v every_o day_n set_v our_o heart_n straight_o before_o god_n in_o all_o thing_n this_o be_v the_o very_a life_n of_o religion_n and_o in_o
