A09972	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.

to_o do_v know_v you_o not_o that_o no_o unrighteous_a man_n shall_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n so_o if_o we_o abstain_v from_o foul_a sin_n ●●_o yet_o if_o not_o present_o judge_v they_o to_o be_v hypocrite_n be_v not_o many_o master_n say_v s._n james._n that_o be_v censure_v he_o not_o for_o he_o stand_v or_o fall_v to_o his_o own_o conscience_n 4._o 3._o this_o shall_v teach_v we_o to_o be_v watchful_a and_o not_o to_o think_v our_o labour_n be_v at_o a_o end_n when_o we_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n for_o sin_n still_o dwell_v in_o we_o and_o though_o we_o have_v the_o victory_n over_o sin_n one_o day_n it_o will_v fight_v against_o we_o the_o next_o day_n as_o in_o a_o garden_n the_o weed_n will_v grow_v because_o the_o root_n be_v not_o quite_o pluck_v up_o and_o take_v away_o so_o sin_n be_v in_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v think_v it_o will_v fight_v against_o we_o and_o vex_v we_o and_o therefore_o i_o say_v let_v we_o renew_v our_o strength_n now_o for_o this_o we_o must_v do_v these_o two_o thing_n first_o weaken_v sin_n second_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o make_v we_o watchful_a and_o so_o i_o have_v also_o do_v with_o the_o second_o doctrine_n again_o from_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o these_o word_n or_o reason_n of_o the_o promise_n make_v unto_o they_o in_o in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o this_o verse_n that_o sin_n shall_v not_o have_v dominion_n over_o they_o because_o they_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n i_o gather_v this_o conclusion_n viz._n that_o the_o way_n to_o overcome_v sin_n be_v to_o get_v assurance_n of_o the_o love_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n 3_o and_o that_o it_o be_v forgive_v they_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n promise_v they_o sin_n shall_v not_o have_v dominion_n over_o they_o be_v because_o they_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n that_o be_v they_o have_v assurance_n of_o god_n love_n and_o that_o it_o be_v forgive_v they_o this_o be_v prove_v from_o that_o faith_n purify_v the_o heart_n and_o you_o repent_v and_o believe_v the_o gospel_n 2_o now_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v these_o four_o especial_o q._n because_o it_o be_v the_o mean_n to_o get_v the_o spirit_n without_o which_o no_o sin_n be_v forgive_v which_o come_v by_o faith_n for_o it_o be_v not_o receive_v by_o the_o law_n for_o so_o say_v the_o apostle_n receive_v you_o the_o spirit_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n or_o by_o the_o deed_n of_o faith_n ans._n second_o the_o way_n to_o make_v we_o believe_v the_o promise_n to_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o we_o be_v transform_v into_o a_o heavenly_a nature_n reas._n for_o when_o we_o believe_v the_o promise_n be_v true_a that_o work_v love_n in_o we_o and_o love_n transform_v we_o into_o the_o divine_a nature_n without_o which_o no_o sin_n be_v overcome_v reas_n three_o because_o hereby_o we_o be_v able_a to_o resist_v the_o tentation_n which_o be_v either_o for_o the_o enjoy_v of_o good_a or_o sle_v of_o evil_n so_o that_o these_o promise_n propound_v more_o good_a than_o sin_n can_v harm_v sin_n threaten_v the_o love_n of_o outward_a thing_n but_o the_o promise_n propound_v eternal_a life_n which_o be_v better_o than_o all_o thing_n else_o in_o the_o world_n four_o because_o we_o do_v delight_n in_o god_n 1_o for_o when_o we_o do_v believe_v in_o god_n that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v we_o in_o christ_n than_o we_o look_v at_o god_n as_o on_o a_o merciful_a father_n and_o then_o we_o cease_v to_o delight_v in_o the_o world_n &_o we_o begin_v to_o delight_v ourselves_o in_o the_o lord_n 1._o first_o for_o direction_n to_o teach_v we_o the_o way_n how_o to_o heal_v a_o sin_n 1_o and_o that_o it_o be_v to_o get_v assurance_n that_o be_v pardon_v &_o forgive_v for_o legal_a terror_n do_v not_o heal_v a_o sin_n but_o be_v faith_n that_o purify_v the_o heart_n and_o purify_n pacify_v it_o as_o a_o traitor_n will_v not_o come_v in_o when_o he_o hear_v a_o proclamation_n out_o for_o his_o death_n but_o when_o he_o hear_v he_o shall_v ●ive_a and_o be_v pardon_v this_o make_v he_o to_o come_v in_o so_o we_o when_o we_o only_o fix_v our_o eye_n upon_o the_o legal_a terror_n we_o shall_v not_o heal_v our_o sin_n but_o when_o we_o believe_v they_o be_v pardon_v this_o heal_v they_o but_o sorrow_n and_o a_o break_a heart_n be_v require_v object_n for_o sinner_n to_o be_v assure_v of_o their_o forgivenne_n this_o sorrow_n be_v not_o so_o much_o command_v ans_fw-fr but_o it_o be_v that_o whereby_o god_n prepare_v his_o servant_n heart_n to_o make_v they_o see_v what_o need_n they_o have_v of_o pardon_n and_o so_o they_o may_v ask_v pardon_n but_o the_o sorrow_n command_v be_v that_o which_o follow_v belief_n for_o the_o more_o i_o believe_v the_o promise_n the_o more_o i_o shall_v grieve_v for_o displease_v he_o quest._n but_o what_o be_v the_o way_n to_o get_v assurance_n of_o the_o forgivenne_n of_o our_o sin_n may_v some_o say_v i_o answer_v that_o that_o be_v do_v which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v on_o our_o part_n ans_fw-fr believe_v which_o god_n have_v promise_v q_o the_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v on_o our_o part_n be_v these_o confession_n plain_o and_o true_o we_o must_v confess_v they_o to_o god_n and_o to_o man_n when_o we_o ourselves_o can_v overcome_v they_o second_o contrition_n which_o be_v when_o a_o man_n be_v not_o stubborn_a and_o resist_v god_n will_n and_o will_v please_v himself_o to_o get_v his_o heart_n break_v 2_o &_o he_o say_v as_o saint_n paul_n say_v lord_n what_o will_v thou_o have_v i_o to_o do_v and_o than_o we_o be_v subject_a to_o his_o will_n to_o he_o will_v i_o look_v that_o be_v of_o a_o contrite_a heart_n three_o desertion_n or_o forsake_v of_o sin_n for_o he_o that_o forsake_v not_o his_o sin_n shall_v not_o

have_v promise_v and_o that_o be_v that_o as_o he_o have_v say_v he_o will_v forgive_v our_o sin_n upon_o such_o and_o such_o condition_n so_o we_o believe_v it_o and_o to_o make_v we_o to_o do_v this_o these_o motion_n may_v persuade_v we_o motive_n q._n because_o he_o be_v merciful_a in_o who_o mercy_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n give_v our_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v believe_v it_o but_o i_o have_v comit_v the_o sin_n oft_o ans_fw-fr yet_o god_n will_v forgive_v thou_o though_o thou_o have_v oft_o commit_v whoredom_n yet_o i_o will_v forgive_v thou_o if_o thou_o turn_v unto_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n by_o the_o prophet_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n jer._n 3._o hence_o then_o to_o make_v some_o use_n of_o it_o as_o our_o use_n be_v we_o may_v learn_v not_o to_o deceive_v

we_o have_v the_o same_o lust_n and_o keep_v the_o same_o company_n which_o we_o do_v when_o we_o be_v not_o change_v it_o be_v a_o mere_a delusion_n what_o soever_o we_o say_v or_o think_v and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o three_o point_n too_o there_o yet_o remain_v one_o more_o behind_o wherewith_o we_o will_v conclude_v the_o whole_a text_n and_o that_o we_o may_v draw_v from_o the_o

he_o that_o refrain_v sin_n only_o for_o fear_n of_o the_o law_n and_o of_o judgemnet_n sin_n have_v dominion_n over_o he_o this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o they_o that_o refrain_v sin_v only_o for_o
