A09976	The lavv out lavved or, The charter of the Gospell shewing the priviledge and prerogative of the saints by vertue of the covenant Wherein these foure points of doctrine are properly observed, plainely proved, both by Scripture, and reason: and pithily applyed. Viz: doctrine 1 That he that is in the state of grace lyeth in no knowne sinne, no sinne hath dominion over him. 2 That sinne though it doth not raigne in the saints, yet it doth remaine and dwell in them. 3 That the way to overcome sinne, is to get assurance of the love, and grace, and favour of God, whereby it is forgiven them. 4 That whosoever is under the law, sinne hath dominion over him. By that late faithfull and worthy minister of Iesus Christ. Iohn Preston. Doctor in divinity, chaplaine in ordinary to his Majestie, master of Emmanuel Colledge in Cambridge, and sometimes preacher of Lincolnes Inne.

sanctitication_n sin_n be_v not_o whole_o abolish_v in_o the_o saint_n in_o this_o life_n but_o do_v dwell_v in_o they_o to_o humble_v we_o and_o to_o make_v we_o see_v what_o be_v our_o heart_n and_o to_o reas_n make_v we_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n bring_v we_o to_o the_o holy_a land_n therefore_o god_n sometime_o leave_v the_o israelite_n to_o try_v they_o and_o so_o he_o trouble_a hezechiah_n
