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

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
