though once pleased in the act her affections are crucifi'd to corruption so is corruption to them they are dead to each other sin in Saints is 1. Dead judicially dead in sentence they adjudge it to death resolve it shall die they sin not with an esteeme of sin their judgement 's against it they have laid hatred to the roote of sin which will be the death out ● T is in them Civiliter mortuus civilly dead a man is dead saith the Civill Law when hee 's in subjection to another is not acted and animated by the power of his owne will but by the will of him that rules over him so here sinne in Saints ha's not its own will is not its own Master is in subjection to them because their love thereof its life is withdrawne better be stowed laid out 3. Sin in them as loathed not loved is naturally dead things are naturally dead two wayes inchoate consummate inchoate as when a tree is smote at the roore with an Axe which is an omen it will wither die be fruitlesse for future though for present it have leaves and fruit upon it hence 't is said to be dead because it has received its deadly blow so a man is said to be a dead man when he has received a deadly wound though hee may stirre struggle strive and live a while after to doe some hurt to him that did the deed so a man alive in Christ by vertue of his union with him has a deadly blow given to the roote of his sin not onely in the judgement having lost its repute there but in the affections also it shall never any more ●oost and roote there never recover its strength againe and though it have a little life for a while and may be injurious to the subject where 't is yet cannot last long and bring forth as before but withers growes lesse and lesse till quite exhausted wasted notwithstanding its shew of leaves 2. A sin not beloved has a death consummate and it is so dead by this signe viz. when it brings not forth in its season i. e. when advantages and opportunities of sinning occur accord agree and come together In winter Trees and Plants seeme as dead but if in the spring wee see neither Doct. Sib● fruit nor leaves wee then say they 'r dead indeed so when a Christian has an advantage an opportunitie to fall into sin may doe it yet not work himselfe into outward blame and shame and sin do's not then beare fruit and bring forth in that fit season 't is dead indeed for what the season of the spring is to trees and plants the same or the like is an occasion of sinning unto sin Josephs case and his carriage Gen. 39. 7. to 13. in that case cleeres this well hee had an advantage an opportunity all advantages and a fit season to sin in a wanton Mistris who woed him often saying Lie with mee a continuation of her suit shee did it day by day her actuall assault shee caught him by his garment would have no nay a place of privacie there was none of the men of the House within no likelihood of accruing shame or blame in publicke and himselfe an high Officer a man of credit able to have crushed a rumor and bruit in the birth yet sin in him was then dead it could not live being loath'd Hee hearkened not unto her to lie by her or to be with her saith the Text he shunned and hated both the sin and the occasion Vitanda est glacies si nolis Cadere with the appearances thereof would not lie by her would not be with her a good patterne of pietie for others hee shunn'd the sin as crosse to God not men How can I doe this great wickednesse and sin against God yet then in that case his lust was life-lesse brought not forth Christs Spouse sins not with a love of sin the evill shee do's shee hates There 's no spot in thee SECT 7. 6. THey sin not with the whole man their fall is not Toti a toto in totum they sin not with a cleare freedom and full consent of the will there 's still some reluctance giving out drawing back of some of the inward powers they sin not with all their strength greedily with both their hands not earnestly as the Prophet speakes Micah 7. 3. their conflicts with sin when falling thereinto are an attestation of this the minde or soule we say is the man but the minde sins not With my minde I serve Christ and Rom. 7. 5. 19 20. the evill I would not that doe I saith the Apostle they sin against their wills cannot will sin they nill and null in the strength of Christ all sinfull thoughts words and works And if I doe that I would not 't is no Ver. 20. more I Quasi dicat there was a time when I willed what I acted and did what I would and could in sin but now I am not the man I am not I 't is no more I that sin sin is in mee but against my will I cannot will to sin choose to sin might I gain a world for so doing Christs Spouse sins not viz. not with cleare freedom and full consent of will Hence is said to be spotlesse not to sin for as to will Note sin is to commit sin in the account of Justice so to nill sin is not to commit sin in the account of mercy Man in the first Adam when he Matth. 5. 28. stood in the glory of his best perfection the image of the invisible God made out but a mutable will a will he had to stand or fall which hee pleased and hence did he will his fall freely but a man in the second Adam ha's a better standing greater strength and a better and more accomplisht will hence no man in Christ can will his fall will wandering from God and a wavering heart in the sence before asserted viz. with the wills cleare freedom and full consent so that Capell Tempt pag. 36.

Christs purest Spouse has the tincture of sin in her selfe it has befallen Christians in this case as it fares with a man who has fallen into a ditch notwithstanding he has bin washed from the mud yet may wee smell hee has been defiled Christs time of suffering was the Disciples time of sinning But secondly a Christian as
