SECT. I.
ROM. 6. 6. Knowing this, that our Old-man is crucified with Christ, &c.
IN the beginning of the Chapter, the Apostle informeth us, That no Gospel privileges, or Evangelical grace amplified to the highest, may encourage to sin, for the Apostle maketh an Objection himself from the Doctrine he delivered; If grace abound where sin doth abound, then why may not we sin more, that grace may abound more? Thus there have always been some who have turned bread into stones, and fish into serpents, making the grace of God to exclude our duty, and a tender care against sin. But the Apostle, as if blasphemy were in this Objection, trieth out, God forbid; You see with what indignation and detestation we should look ⟨p. 78⟩upon all those Doctrines, which under pretence of advancing Grace, do cry down Duties and an holy life, making it a legal and a servile thing.
