love_n to_o the_o brethren_n q._n 3._o what_o be_v the_o dominion_n of_o the_o law_n over_o a_o sinner_n a._n it_o be_v the_o legal_a power_n to_o condemn_v all_o such_o as_o be_v under_o the_o law_n

unto_o god_n as_o the_o death_n to_o the_o law_n be_v legal_a i_o be_o no_o more_o under_o law-condemnation_n than_o a_o dead_a man_n so_o the_o live_n to_o god_n be_v a_o law_n live_v to_o god_n on_o

rom._n 6.8_o now_o if_o we_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n we_o believe_v that_o we_o shall_v also_o live_v with_o he_o which_o be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v expound_v of_o mortification_n and_o inherent_a newness_n of_o life_n but_o also_o of_o legal_a die_a with_o christ_n for_o christ_n die_v no_o death_n but_o legal_a death_n there_o be_v no_o inherent_a mortification_n or_o slay_v of_o a_o body_n of_o sin_n in_o he_o as_o in_o we_o though_o from_o his_o death_n there_o also_o flow_v a●_n merit_v and_o inherent_a personal_a mortification_n in_o we_o for_o it_o be_v add_v v_o 9_o know_v that_o christ_n be_v raise_v from_o death_n die_v no_o more_o death_n have_v no_o more_o dominion_n over_o he_o than_o christ_n by_o law_n can_v die_v twice_o so_o christ_n be_v once_o crucify_v the_o law_n and_o death_n which_o have_v once_o dominion_n over_o he_o have_v now_o no_o more_o dominion_n over_o he_o then_o first_o as_o christ_n die_v a_o law-death_n and_o be_v under_o
