Of actual sin, with the several aggravations thereof. 226 The Spirit convinceth, 2. by discovering the condition of the state of sin. 1. It is an estate of extreme impotency to good, 233 because of our natural Impurity. 234 Enmity. 234 Infidelity. 234 Folly. 234 In the wicked there is a total impotency. 237 Whether all the works of natural men are sinful. 237 How God rewardeth the good works of wicked men. 244 How the good works of wicked men proceed from Gods Spirit. 245 Whether a wicked man ought to omit his alms, prayers, and religious services? 246 In the best there is a partial impotency. 250 What a man should do when he finds himself disabled and deadened in good works. 253 ⟨image 6⟩2. It is an estate of extreme enmity against God and his ways. 255 How the spirit by the Commandment doth convince men to be in the state of sin. 258 The spirit by the commandment convinceth men to be under the guilt of sin. 260 There is a natural conviction of the guilt of sin: and 260 There is a spiritual and evangelical conviction of the guilt of sin. 261 What the guilt and Punishments of sin are. 262 ROM. 6. 12. Sin will abide in the time of this mortal life in the most Holy. 273 Our death with Christ unto sin is a strong argument against the reign of it. 275 Difference between the regal and tyrannical power of Sin. 277 Whether a man belong unto Christ or sin. 279 Sin hath much strength from it self. 282 from Satan and the world. 285 from us. 285 What it is to obey sin in the lusts thereof. 286 Whether sin may Reign in a regenerate man? 288 How wicked men may be convinced, that sin doth reign in them. Two things make up the reign of sin. 1. In sin power. 290 2. In the sinner a willing and uncontrolled subjection. 290 Three exceptions against the evidence of the reign of sin in the wicked. 291 1. There may be a reign of sin when it is not discerned. 292 Whether small sins may reign? 293 ⟨image 6⟩Whether secret sins may reign? 294 Whether sins of ignorance may reign? 295 Whether natural concupiscence may reign? 296 Whether sins of omission may reign? 296 2. Other causes besides the power of Christs Grace may work a partial abstinence from sin, and conformity in service: 1. The power of restraining grace. 298 Differences between restraining and renewing Grace: 2. Affectation of the credit of godliness.
