The Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, working faith in us, and by faith other graces, doth ⟨p. 46⟩free us from the Law of sin, and death, Christ doth it, and faith doth it, and grace which issues from faith doth it, subordinately. Christ doth it by way of merit: and by his Spirit, working faith in us, to lay hold upon whatsoever Christ hath done or suffered, as if we had done it our selves, so it frees us from the law of sin, and death; because it lays hold of the freedom wrought by Christ for us. But besides, and next to faith, there is a Spirit of sanctification, by which we are free from the commanding law of sin, and death▪ But to clear all this, consider there is a freedom in this life,1 and in the life to come from sin and from death.1 A freedom in this life, in calling, in justification, in sanctification: and in the life to come a freedom of glory.
