[The Law. 1] It is nothing but a commanding power: for so the word written, the Law (in the Apostles meaning) is but a power forcing and commanding. So the Law of the Spirit of life, is the commanding and forcing power of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus: and so the Law of sin, it is either the tyrannical command and forcing power of sin, or else the condemning for sin afterwards, as we shall see hereafter; for we shall unfold the words better in the particulars.
