And this thing (namely, the daily mortification of our flesh) ⟨image 28⟩we may perform, because we are not under the law: but under grace. Now what it is, not to be under the law,¹ must not be so understood, as though it were lawful for us to do what we list: but not to be under the law is this, that our hearts are so made new by the spirit, through faith, that freely, willingly, and of our own accord, we may do that which the law requires, though there were no law at all. For grace doth endue us with the love of the law. Wherefore we being justified, have no more the law against us, but agreeing with us. To be under the law,² is to work without grace, and not to be able to fulfil the law, where there cannot choose but be sin.

And this thing (namely, the dayly mortificatiō of our flesh) ⟨image 28⟩we may performe, because we are not vnder the law: but vnder grace. Now what it is, not to bee vnder the law,¹ must not bee so vnderstood, as though it were lawfull for vs to do what wee list: but not to bee vnder the law is this, that our hearts are so made new by the spirit, through faith, that freely, willingly, and of our owne accord, wee may doe that which the lawe requyres, though there were no lawe at all. For grace doth endue vs with the loue of the law. Wherefore we being justified, haue no more the law against vs, but agreeing with vs. To bee vnder the law,² is to worke without grace, and not to bee able to fulfill the lawe, where there cannot choose but bee sinne.
