be_v without_o this_o love_n to_o he_o now_o we_o come_v to_o the_o three_o thing_n the_o reason_n why_o they_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v accurse_v unto_o jesus_n the_o death_n that_o love_n not_o the_o

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

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

you_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o whole_a law_n but_o beside_o these_o scripture_n there_o be_v other_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o regenerate_a man_n can_v lie_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n first_o because_o he_o that_o lie_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n have_v another_o for_o his_o lord_n and_o god_n and_o so_o be_v a_o idolater_n and_o so_o can_v be_v regenerate_v for_o he_o yield_v to_o the_o

be_v unconstant_a in_o the_o serve_n of_o god_n now_o god_n reject_v such_o a_o one_o for_o though_o the_o temptation_n to_o that_o sin_n be_v remove_v he_o serve_v god_n yet_o that_o sin_n set_v upon_o he_o he_o forsake_v god_n service_n and_o obey_v it_o and_o when_o soever_o occasion_n be_v offer_v he_o turn_v to_o obey_v it_o now_o such_o unconstancy_n god_n hate_v as_o among_o man_n a_o

three_o because_o he_o that_o lie_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n will_n if_o he_o have_v like_o strong_a temptation_n commit_v all_o the_o sin_n in_o the_o world_n as_o be_v a_o man_n incline_v to_o

because_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o good_a heart_n no_o sin_n can_v grow_v there_o because_o it_o be_v out_o of_o its_o proper_a place_n and_o therefore_o can_v prosper_v as_o plant_n that_o grow_v

more_o but_o he_o that_o find_v fin_n grow_v in_o his_o heart_n his_o heart_n be_v not_o regenerate_v five_o because_o he_o must_v hate_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o godly_a man_n for_o when_o a_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

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

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
