in_o your_o mortal_a body_n 23._o sin_n shall_v not_o have_v dominion_n over_o you_o for_o you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o antinomisis_n sense_n that_o believer_n be_v not_o under_o the_o mandatory_a power_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n but_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n law_n as_o beza_n interpret_v it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n paul_n chap._n 7._o 23_o mention_n a_o law_n in_o his_o member_n that_o do_v war_n against_o the_o law_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o do_v hr_v he_o into_o

grace_n in_o paul_n that_o though_o he_o be_v overbear_v by_o the_o strength_n of_o corruption_n and_o sin_n and_o take_v prisoner_n by_o it_o yet_o he_o never_o yield_v to_o it_o as_o to_o a_o

heart_n spiritual_a pride_n deadness_n in_o duty_n for_o into_o gross_a external_a open_a act_n of_o evil_a strong_a christian_n do_v seldom_o fall_v 7._o we_o must_v also_o be_v further_o inform_v that_o if_o we_o consider_v particular_a act_n of_o sin_n some_o one_o lust_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v more_o strong_a in_o a_o godly_a christian_a then_o in_o a_o mere_a moral_n man_n as_o for_o instance_n in_o the_o case_n of_o lust_n when_o we_o consider_v how_o david_n do_v abuse_v his_o neigh_n bour_v wife_n and_o how_o abimelech_n will_v not_o touch_v another_o man_n wife_n one_o will_v have_v judge_v david_n the_o heathen_a and_o abimelech_n the_o believer_n and_o therefore_o the_o strength_n of_o grace_n or_o corruption_n must_v not_o be_v judge_v by_o any_o one_o particular_a act_n when_o some_o impetuous_a temptation_n have_v prevail_v 8._o last_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o a_o corruption_n may_v be_v real_o weak'n_v when_o sensible_o strong_a as_o a_o man_n in_o a_o fever_n be_v seem_o strong_a but_o be_v real_o weak_a so_o corruption_n may_v be_v then_o most_o enfeeble_v when_o in_o our_o apprehension_n it_o be_v most_o enrage_a it_o may_v rave_v and_o rage_v when_o it_o be_v in_o crucify_a as_o a_o coal_n glow_v most_o just_a before_o its_o go_v out_o a_o candle_n burnt_v down_o in_o the_o socket_n give_v a_o blaze_n a_o little_a before_o it_o be_v extinct_a so_o it_o be_v when_o corruption_n be_v ready_a to_o expire_v as_o in_o a_o mere_a moral_a man_n sin_n may_v be_v restrain_v when_o it_o be_v not_o subdue_v corruption_n may_v be_v quiet_a where_o it_o be_v not_o mortify_v so_o in_o a_o regenerate_a person_n it_o may_v be_v subdue_v and_o mortify_v where_o yet_o it_o may_v rage_v as_o if_o unrestrained_a a_o man_n last_o gasp_n may_v be_v the_o strong_a breath_n so_o when_o corruption_n be_v ready_a to_o give_v up_o the_o ghost_n it_o may_v seem_v to_o breath_n strong_a as_o a_o bird_n may_v flutter_v when_o his_o neck_n be_v break_v so_o sin_n may_v seem_o resist_v grace_v when_o the_o power_n strength_n and_o life_n of_o it_o be_v utter_o break_v x._o sermon_n at_o laurence_n jury_n london_n april_n 13._o 1651._o 2_o

may_v have_v right_a to_o a_o inheritance_n though_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o demonstrate_v and_o prove_v his_o right_n perhaps_o a_o man_n can_v read_v his_o evidence_n for_o his_o land_n and_o yet_o those_o evidence_n give_v he_o a_o right_a to_o his_o land_n so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o child_n of_o god_n he_o have_v comfort_n sow_v though_o perhaps_o he_o can_v present_o reap_v it_o light_n

of_o faith_n to_o see_v it_o and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a comfort_n that_o a_o child_n of_o god_n though_o he_o may_v want_v comfort_n yet_o he_o have_v right_a unto_o comfort_n in_o that_o he_o
