with_o this_o to_o show_v you_o a_o little_a concern_v this_o argument_n sin_n shall_v not_o have_v dominion_n over_o you_o because_o you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n there_o be_v three_o main_a reason_n reason_n sin_n have_v less_o power_n over_o those_o under_o grace_n upon_o three_o reason_n why_o a_o man_n that_o be_v under_o grace_n that_o be_v clear_o free_v from_o the_o law_n why_o sin_n shall_v have_v less_o power_n over_o he_o then_o when_o he_o be_v under_o the_o law_n for_o those_o that_o live_v under_o grace_n though_o they_o be_v not_o perfect_a yet_o they_o be_v eminent_o holy_a in_o comparison_n of_o what_o they_o be_v and_o of_o what_o other_o be_v that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n one_o reason_n be_v because_o that_o grace_n have_v clear_a and_o more_o spiritual_a instruction_n and_o direction_n to_o holiness_n then_o the_o law_n have_v it_o have_v what_o the_o law_n have_v but_o it_o teach_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o exactness_n that_o can_v be_v express_v for_o what_o the_o law_n teach_v we_o may_v express_v it_o by_o natural_a understanding_n and_o you_o by_o natural_a understanding_n may_v comprehend_v it_o and_o if_o you_o miss_v it_o we_o may_v by_o natural_a understanding_n convince_v you_o of_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n but_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v spiritual_a and_o can_v be_v conceive_v by_o natural_a understanding_n i_o say_v the_o course_n of_o a_o christian_a the_o main_a walk_n of_o a_o christian_a under_o grace_n be_v such_o that_o a_o natural_a man_n can_v see_v or_o understand_v which_o way_n he_o go_v because_o a_o natural_a man_n conceive_v not_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n by_o the_o law_n a_o man_n may_v convince_v and_o show_v it_o clear_o but_o the_o precept_n of_o grace_n be_v so_o sublime_a and_o spiritual_a that_o they_o must_v be_v understand_v spiritual_o and_o thereupon_o be_v that_o the_o precept_n and_o instruction_n and_o direction_n of_o grace_n be_v clear_a and_o bright_a and_o high_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o a_o man_n under_o grace_n be_v bring_v into_o full_a obedience_n to_o a_o free_a service_n than_o a_o man_n under_o the_o law_n beside_o second_o when_o a_o man_n be_v under_o grace_n there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o ingenuity_n a_o spiritual_a ingenuity_n of_o the_o heart_n yet_o though_o it_o may_v be_v there_o be_v not_o so_o many_o covenant_n
