the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o here_o there_o may_v be_v many_o profitable_a observation_n draw_v from_o the_o word_n but_o i_o shall_v sum_v up_o all_o in_o one_o but_o before_o i_o fall_v upon_o it_o there_o be_v three_o query_n arise_v from_o some_o difficulty_n in_o the_o word_n to_o be_v answer_v 1._o quere_z 1_o how_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o law_n or_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n 2._o queree_n 2_o how_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n be_v in_o christ_n 3._o queree_n 3_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n from_o which_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n have_v set_v we_o free_a but_o first_o if_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n do_v set_v we_o free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n than_o it_o seem_v the_o spirit_n have_v a_o law_n for_o as_o there_o be_v a_o law_n give_v by_o god_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n the_o mediator_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n so_o there_o be_v a_o law_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o it_o seem_v be_v the_o more_o powerful_a and_o glorious_a law_n the_o law_n that_o bring_v blessedness_n and_o joy_n unto_o a_o saint_n for_o its_o this_o law_n that_o bring_v life_n whereas_o the_o other_o bring_v death_n for_o the_o spirit_n must_v bring_v life_n through_o its_o own_o law_n queree_n 1_o but_o then_o the_o queerie_n be_v how_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o law_n or_o to_o have_v law_n answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v the_o law_n of_o spirit_n may_v be_v consider_v in_o these_o three_o thing_n 1._o in_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o spirit_n 2._o in_o the_o operation_n or_o working_n of_o the_o spirit_n 3._o in_o the_o guidance_n of_o the_o spirit_n 1._o consider_v we_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o royal_a and_o giorious_a authority_n that_o the_o spirit_n have_v now_o the_o spirit_n have_v a_o double_a authority_n 1._o as_o it_o come_v from_o god_n 2._o as_o it_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n in_o the_o first_o sense_n the_o spirit_n and_o the_o law_n be_v one_o but_o in_o the_o second_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o law_n differ_v but_o i_o say_v the_o first_o part_n or_o piece_n of_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v this_o that_o it_o come_v forth_o from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o be_v send_v forth_o from_o the_o father_n &_o the_o son_n by_o way_n of_o embassage_n &_o so_o our_o saviour_n say_v i_o will_v send_v the_o comforter_n he_o be_v a_o messenger_n send_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o so_o have_v mighty_a authority_n hitherto_o the_o father_n work_v and_o i_o work_v but_o if_o the_o father_n work_v he_o work_v by_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o if_o the_o son_n work_v he_o work_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n it_o be_v the_o same_o spirit_n come_v from_o they_o both_o and_o thus_o the_o spirit_n have_v authority_n and_o thus_o the_o law_n have_v also_o authority_n i_o mean_v the_o law_n give_v of_o god_n by_o moses_n for_o the_o law_n have_v all_o its_o authority_n as_o it_o come_v from_o god_n and_o as_o it_o be_v send_v forth_o by_o god_n so_o the_o law_n have_v true_a authority_n and_o in_o this_o consideration_n they_o both_o agree_v the_o spirit_n and_o the_o law_n both_o have_v authority_n as_o they_o come_v from_o god_n but_o then_o 2._o the_o spirit_n have_v another_o authority_n which_o the_o law_n simple_o consider_v have_v not_o that_o be_v this_o the_o spirit_n have_v authority_n in_o its_o self_n and_o from_o its_o self_n for_o the_o spirit_n have_v as_o great_a authority_n as_o he_o that_o send_v he_o god_n be_v the_o spirit_n &_o the_o spirit_n be_v god_n and_o the_o spirit_n come_v from_o the_o bosom_n of_o god_n be_v god_n himself_o and_o the_o spirit_n have_v equal_a authority_n with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o have_v power_n to_o work_v out_o of_o his_o own_o pleasure_n and_o out_o of_o his_o own_o will_n so_o say_v the_o scripture_n the_o wind_n blow_v where_o it_o list_v so_o be_v every_o man_n that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n the_o wind_n be_v sometime_o in_o the_o east_n sometime_o in_o the_o west_n no_o man_n command_v it_o hither_o or_o thither_o no_o man_n bid_v it_o go_v here_o or_o there_o but_o it_o go_v where_o it_o will_n it_o be_v even_o so_o with_o the_o spirit_n he_o have_v authority_n to_o lay_v hold_n of_o one_o man_n and_o not_o another_o to_o choose_v this_o man_n and_o to_o give_v life_n to_o that_o person_n and_o so_o suffer_v another_o to_o lie_v under_o death_n and_o misery_n for_o the_o spirit_n have_v that_o prerogative_n wherein_o he_o be_v not_o only_o as_o a_o messenger_n but_o be_v equal_a with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o so_o the_o royal_a authority_n of_o the_o spirit_n exceed_o surpass_v the_o law_n though_o the_o law_n have_v also_o authority_n from_o god_n but_o then_o 2._o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v a_o law_n or_o
righteousness_n of_o god_n and_o go_v about_o to_o set_v up_o their_o own_o righteousness_n which_o be_v by_o the_o law_n have_v not_o submit_v to_o to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o though_o they_o have_v a_o zeal_n of_o god_n in_o the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o be_v without_o a_o christ_n they_o be_v without_o a_o spirit_n and_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n

what_o do_v the_o apostle_n mean_v here_o by_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n from_o which_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n set_v we_o free_a t_o answ_n o_o which_o i_o answer_v his_o

be_v a_o law_n and_o sin_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o law_n under_o these_o two_o signification_n 1._o as_o it_o have_v a_o mighty_a power_n in_o 〈◊〉_d or_o 2._o as_o it_o have_v a_o certain_a

and_o love_n be_v as_o strong_a as_o death_n either_o in_o good_a thing_n or_o in_o evil_a and_o so_o sin_n have_v its_o power_n but_o 2._o it_o have_v a_o kind_n of_o uncertain_a rule_n and_o
