the_o duty_n of_o such_o so_o to_o walk_v upon_o this_o account_n let_v i_o add_v a_o three_o consideration_n regenerate_a person_n upon_o this_o must_v be_v very_o holy_a that_o there_o may_v be_v some_o proportion_n betwixt_o nature_n as_o renew_v in_o the_o way_n of_o holiness_n and_o nature_n as_o deprave_v in_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n pray_o observe_v it_o so_o long_o as_o deprave_a nature_n be_v upon_o the_o throne_n you_o be_v very_o sinful_a therefore_o now_o when_o renew_a nature_n be_v upon_o the_o throne_n you_o shall_v be_v very_o holy_a i_o do_v not_o from_o hence_o plead_v for_o a_o equality_n that_o i_o very_o well_o know_v be_v not_o possible_a and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o corrupt_v nature_n before_o conversion_n be_v entire_a not_o break_v or_o weaken_v by_o any_o

some_o proportion_n whilst_o sin_n rule_v you_o you_o be_v very_o sinful_a therefore_o now_o christ_n and_o grace_n rule_v you_o you_o shall_v be_v very_o holy_a so_o the_o apostle_n argue_v rom._n 6.19_o 20._o as_o you_o have_v yield_v your_o member_n servant_n to_o uncleanness_n and_o to_o iniquity_n unto_o iniquity_n even_n so_o now_o yield_v your_o member_n servant_n to_o righteousness_n unto_o holiness_n for_o when_o you_o be_v servant_n to_o sin_n you_o be_v free_a from_o righteousness_n therefore_o which_o though_o it_o be_v not_o express_v yet_o it_o be_v imply_v proportionable_o now_o when_o you_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o righteousness_n you_o shall_v be_v free_a from_o sin_n upon_o this_o threefold_a consideration_n such_o as_o be_v make_v free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n shall_v be_v holy_a dominion_n against_o sin_n actual_a and_o partial_a dominion_n now_o that_o i_o may_v be_v somewhat_o more_o particular_a about_o this_o sin_n be_v that_o which_o be_v opposite_a to_o holiness_n and_o much_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o holiness_n lie_v in_o refrain_v from_o sin_n and_o also_o the_o dominion_n of_o any_o particular_a sin_n very_o ill_o agree_v with_o deliverance_n from_o the_o law_n thereof_o therefore_o in_o both_o of_o these_o respect_n i_o will_v caution_n all_o regenerate_a person_n against_o it_o but_o it_o be_v the_o latter_a only_o that_o i_o shall_v speak_v a_o few_o word_n unto_o where_o i_o will_v be_v very_o earnest_a with_o you_o who_o have_v pass_v under_o the_o regenerate_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o take_v heed_n even_o of_o the_o actual_a and_o partial_a dominion_n of_o sin_n and_o there_o be_v great_a need_n of_o this_o admonition_n for_o though_o upon_o regeneration_n you_o be_v secure_v from_o its_o habitual_a and_o universal_a dominion_n yet_o as_o to_o some_o particular_a sin_n and_o some_o particular_a evil_a act_n it_o may_v have_v that_o which_o look_v too_o much_o like_o dominion_n though_o strict_o and_o proper_o it_o be_v not_o so_o here_o therefore_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o be_v very_o careful_a that_o you_o do_v not_o suffer_v any_o one_o sin_n to_o reign_v in_o you_o for_o how_o will_v this_o consist_v with_o your_o be_v make_v free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n since_o as_o have_v be_v say_v the_o power_n of_o any_o one_o sin_n and_o subjection_n thereunto_o if_o it_o be_v full_a

will_v therefore_o limit_v myself_o to_o two_o general_a head_n under_o which_o the_o several_a particular_n will_v fall_v the_o law_n of_o sin_n show_v itself_o partly_o with_o respect_n to_o what_o

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 the_o command_a reign_a power_n of_o sin_n rather_o than_o to_o the_o be_v make_v free_a from_o the_o condemn_a power_n of_o sin_n 3._o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o it_o as_o a_o act_n that_o be_v

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
unsanctified_a in_o both_o of_o these_o way_n be_v under_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n but_o with_o the_o sanctify_a it_o be_v not_o so_o especial_o in_o the_o latter_a respect_n indeed_o sin_n on_o its_o

thereof_o that_o have_v any_o tendency_n or_o give_v any_o encouragement_n or_o patronage_n to_o any_o such_o loose_a inference_n for_o though_o he_o obey_v the_o law_n for_o we_o yet_o we_o

all_o who_o belong_v to_o god_n for_o this_o reason_n therefore_o when_o the_o apostle_n will_v comfort_v himself_o and_o other_o he_o first_o apply_v his_o discourse_n to_o that_o which_o may_v
