somewhat_o special_a but_o the_o thing_n itself_o be_v common_a and_o general_a in_o all_o saint_n 2._o that_o the_o freedom_n mention_v in_o the_o text_n refer_v to_o the_o be_v make_v free_a from_o

thing_n which_o the_o saint_n be_v free_v from_o be_v but_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n so_o the_o apostle_n here_o state_v it_o law_n saint_n free_v from_o sin_n only_o in_o the_o notion_n of_o its_o be_v a_o law_n and_o therefore_o the_o word_n be_v to_o be_v carry_v no_o further_o than_o to_o deliverance_n from_o that_o in_o sin_n which_o do_v proper_o denominate_v it_o to_o be_v a_o law_n or_o which_o do_v belong_v to_o it_o in_o the_o notion_n and_o appellation_n of_o a_o law_n so_o far_o the_o saint_n in_o this_o life_n be_v make_v free_a from_o it_o but_o no_o far_o for_o the_o prevent_n of_o mistake_n and_o the_o due_a bound_a of_o the_o point_n two_o thing_n must_v be_v lay_v down_o and_o make_v good_a as_o 1._o that_o this_o freedom_n be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v simple_o and_o absolute_o for_o perfect_a deliverance_n from_o the_o very_o be_v and_o inhesion_n of_o sin_n but_o only_o for_o deliverance_n from_o sin_n in_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o law_n the_o high_a saint_n god_n know_v and_o they_o themselves_o know_v too_o well_o in_o their_o present_a state_n be_v far_o from_o be_v whole_o complete_o perfect_o make_v free_a from_o sin_n in_o this_o respect_n yet_o the_o very_o low_a saint_n be_v true_o and_o real_o make_v free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n betwixt_o the_o inbeing_n and_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n betwixt_o the_o residence_n and_o the_o reign_n of_o sin_n betwixt_o sin_n mansion_n and_o sin_n dominion_n sin_n will_v have_v a_o be_v in_o god_n people_n
make_v some_o resistance_n to_o sin_n and_o therefore_o they_o conclude_v they_o be_v not_o under_o its_o power_n but_o alas_o this_o will_v not_o prove_v it_o for_o 1._o this_o resistance_n may_v be_v but_o a_o faint_a weak_a half_a resistance_n 2._o it_o may_v be_v bus_fw-la to_o this_o or_o that_o sin_n nor_o to_o every_o sin_n 3._o it_o may_v be_v to_o sin_n but_o not_o as_o sin_n that_o be_v sin_n may_v be_v resist_v because_o of_o the_o effect_n and_o consequent_n of_o it_o as_o it_o kindle_v god_n wrath_n bring_v punishment_n end_v in_o hell_n expose_v to_o shame_v before_o man_n

so_o no_o resistance_n may_v be_v make_v to_o it_o but_o the_o sinner_n ready_o close_v with_o it_o and_o like_v it_o well_o enough_o now_o such_o a_o resistance_n as_o this_o will_v not_o amount_v to_o a_o proof_n or_o evidence_n of_o not_o be_v under_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n there_o be_v a_o resistance_n indeed_o which_o will_v undeniable_o prove_v it_o as_o when_o it_o be_v hearty_a

if_o therefore_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o any_o of_o you_o it_o be_v well_o but_o you_o must_v not_o bottom_v too_o much_o upon_o mere_a resistance_n if_o it_o be_v not_o thus_o qualify_v and_o state_v indeed_o no_o resistance_n be_v a_o good_a affirmative_a argument_n to_o prove_v sin_n dominion_n but_o every_o kind_n of_o resistance_n be_v not_o a_o good_a negative_a argument_n to_o prove_v no_o

imputation_n 2._o this_o lawfulfil_a come_n in_o as_o the_o high_a product_n of_o the_o love_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n it_o may_v very_o probable_o be_v conjecture_v that_o if_o there_o be_v one_o fulfil_v of_o the_o law_n high_o than_o another_o the_o high_a here_o must_v be_v take_v and_o therefore_o it_o must_v not_o be_v that_o which_o be_v but_o inchoate_n and_o imperfect_a in_o we_o but_o rather_o that_o which_o be_v complete_a full_a perfect_a in_o christ_n 3._o though_o the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n be_v sometime_o take_v in_o that_o low_a sense_n which_o have_v be_v mention_v yet_o the_o law-righteousness_n more_o usual_o note_v that_o exact_a universal_a obedience_n which_o the_o law_n require_v which_o notion_n therefore_o we_o may_v the_o rather_o be_v induce_v here_o to_o follow_v 4._o the_o interpretation_n give_v by_o these_o worthy_a person_n will_v not_o so_o well_o suit_n with_o what_o the_o apostle_n be_v now_o upon_o he_o be_v in_o short_a sum_n up_o the_o grand_a benefit_n that_o saint_n have_v by_o christ_n show_v how_o they_o be_v secure_v from_o condemnation_n and_o restore_v to_o a_o state_n of_o happiness_n in_o order_n to_o which_o he_o first_o

here_o understand_v christ_n obedience_n as_o impute_v not_o our_o own_o as_o inherent_a if_o that_o word_n be_v proper_a otherwise_o we_o shall_v leave_v out_o one_o of_o the_o great_a benefit_n
