A46354	Several sermons preach'd on the whole eighth chapter of the Epistle to the Romans eighteen of which preach'd on the first, second, third, fourth verses are here published : wherein the saints exemption from condemnation, the mystical union, the spiritual life, the dominion of sin and the spirits agency in freeing from it, the law's inability to justifie and save, Christ's mission, eternal sonship, incarnation, his being an expiatory sacrifice, fulfilling the laws righteousness (which is imputed to believers) are opened, confirmed, vindicated, and applied / by Tho.

which_o be_v my_o work_n the_o last_o time_n i_o come_v now_o to_o fall_v upon_o those_o observation_n which_o be_v ground_v upon_o and_o do_v best_a therewith_o it_o have_v be_v already_o observe_v first_o that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o life_n this_o i_o have_v give_v some_o short_a account_n of_o and_o will_v add_v nothing_o further_a upon_o it_o i_o may_v second_o observe_v that_o this_o spirit_n of_o life_n be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n the_o regenerate_a spirit_n be_v in_o christ_n though_o not_o as_o the_o regenerate_a spirit_n according_a to_o our_o common_a notion_n of_o regeneration_n this_o be_v also_o clear_v up_o in_o some_o particular_n when_o i_o be_v upon_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o word_n and_o in_o the_o follow_a verse_n i_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o handle_v it_o full_o therefore_o here_o i_o will_v pass_v it_o over_o there_o be_v a_o three_o observation_n which_o take_v in_o the_o principal_a matter_n in_o the_o text_n that_o therefore_o i_o shall_v only_o insist_v upon_o namely_o that_o all_o regenerate_a person_n by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n be_v make_v free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n for_o this_o be_v that_o which_o paul_n here_o affirm_v concern_v himself_o and_o he_o speak_v here_o not_o as_o a_o apostle_n but_o as_o one_o regenerate_v quatenus_fw-la

three_o this_o being_n more_o general_o lay_v down_o just_a as_o it_o lie_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n and_o it_o be_v very_o comprehensive_a i_o will_v therefore_o more_o particular_o branch_n it_o out_o into_o three_o observation_n 1._o that_o every_o man_n in_o the_o world_n as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o natural_a and_o unconverted_a state_n obs_n 1._o obs_n before_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n or_o the_o regenerate_a spirit_n take_v hold_v of_o he_o be_v under_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n 2._o that_o such_o who_o be_v true_o regenerate_v be_v make_v free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n obs_n 2._o obs_n 3._o that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n that_o these_o be_v make_v free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n obs_n 3._o obs_n each_o of_o these_o point_n be_v of_o great_a weight_n and_o importance_n therefore_o i_o shall_v distinct_o and_o large_o speak_v to_o they_o handle_v first_o observe_v handle_v i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o which_o you_o may_v shorten_v thus_o every_o unregenerate_a man_n be_v under_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n in_o the_o handle_n both_o of_o this_o and_o also_o of_o the_o two_o other_o i_o shall_v main_o direct_v my_o discourse_n to_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n as_o to_o the_o law_n of_o death_n that_o i_o shall_v only_o speak_v to_o in_o the_o close_a of_o all_o this_o first_o doctrinal_a proposition_n be_v not_o so_o express_v in_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o word_n as_o the_o two_o follow_v but_o it_o be_v strong_o imply_v and_o very_o natural_o
