A91099	A call out of Egypt, (where death and darkness is) into the glorious light and liberty of the sons of God, (where life and peace is.)

the oldness of the Letter for I was alive without the Law once but when the Commandment came sin revived and I died When Paul came to know the Law of the new Covenant written in his heart he then saw the body of sin and the Law in his Members warring against the Law of his minde which led him into captivity into the Law of sin and death and made him wretched but the Law was good as the Apostle confesses It is holy just and good the Law is spiritual but I am carnal sold under sin for the good I would do I do not and the evil I would not do that do I Now all the carnal Professors would own Paul here and bring these words to hide and cover them in their sins and so are at ease in their sins alive without the Law but Paul had not peace in this condition but groaned and travelled under the burden of sin but through Christ he thanked God who had given him the Victory and even at that time when he writ that Epistle to the Roman he was made free from sin though he declares of such a condition speaking to them that know the Law for to them that were under the Law he became as under the Law For when we were in the fl●sh the motions of sin that were by the Law did work in our member c but now we are delivered now there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit for the Law of the Spirit of 〈◊〉 in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the Law of sin and death mark it well hath mad me free not will or shall but he was then made free for what the Law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and by a Sacrifice for sin condemned sin in the flesh that the righteousnest of the Law might be fulfilled in us mind you here The righteousness of the Law fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit So here you may see he speaks of a time without the Law and a time under the Law where the Law was fulfilled in him and so passing through the Law he became dead unto the Law as he declares in another place For I through the Law am dead unto the Law that I might live unto God I am crucified with Christ yet nevertheless I live yet not I but Christ lives in me Come now and try your selves all you formal and carnal Professors can you own Paul in this condition are you crucified with Christ or are you alive in your sins are you crucified to the world and the world unto you Answer Paul was so But are not you wallowing in your sins living in the pleasures of the world and no separation made from the world but even with all your strength griping after the world loving it and seeking the honor and glory of the world which Paul was crucified unto though once he cried out of the body of sin and so patiently waiting in the crosse of Christ he witnessed a Victory And so as the eyes of your understandings comes to be opened these things will be clear and you will see the times that Paul declareth and is left upon Record in the Scriptures of Truth a time without the Law and a time under the Law and a time when he witnessed Christ Jesus the end of the Law and whereas he saith in one place I am carnal he saith in another place I am crucified and this is plain to those who have experience of the workings of God for that I which was carnal by the Law which was Spiritual was crucified and then no more I but 〈…〉 And this was the mysterie that Paul preached which was hid from Ages and generations but now is made manifest in his Saints which Mystery is Christ in you the hope of glory whom we preach teaching and exhorting every man in all wisdom that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus Now this I say where Christ is manifested sin and iniquity is done away and the body of sin destroyed and dead for if Christ be in you the body is dead because of sin and if any be in Christ he is a new Creature Old things are passed away and behold all things are become new and if all things are become new then where is there room for sin for that is of the old things which passeth away and doth defile and enters not into the Kingdom of God which stands in righteousnesse and this is your cry VVhere were there any that was without sin I Answer They that were in Christ and did abide in him were without sin and werenew creatures and if you say that none were or are in Christ then I shall bring the Scripture-Testimony against you where they bear Testimony of the Son For we know that the Son of God is come and hath given us an understanding to him that is true and we are in him mark well they were in him that is true even in his Son Christ Jesus and here the Scripture declares that some were in Christ and if any be in Christ he is a new creature and they that are Christs have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts and if the affections and lusts be crucified then where is the sin or the cause of sin for lust is the ground of all sin for as the Apostle saith There is no man tempted of God but every man when he is tempted he is drawn away of his lust for the lust goes forth and sin is conceived in the heart and after it is cenceived it brings forth sin and sin being finished brings forth death So the rise of sin is from the lust which is conceived in the deceitful and deceived heart but where the life and power of Christ is manifested and the devils works destroyed and the creature redeemed from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the Sons of God and is become Christs bought and redeemed by him and hath crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts then where is sin you so much plead for which is a plant of your Father the Devil whose children and servants ye are as long as you are doing his work and pleading to uphold that which Christ comes to destroy but surely you are deceived by him for none such Plants shall grow in my Fathers Garden but they must all be plucked up and cast into the fire And again the Enemies of pure Truth who are bent and set to oppose Christ they bring another place of Scripture and thinks they are strongly fenced here where it is said If we say we have no sin we deceive our selves and the truth is not in us This place is strongly pleaded by all sorts of people and Professors who are not in the pure life of Christ but praised for
