5. If Faith take you off from the bondage under Antichrist it will take you off from the bondage under any lust. That man that hath not the power of Faith, to take him off from any Lust, That man is not by Faith taken off from the bondage of Antichrist. If Faith deliver from the bondage under Antichrist, it will deliver from the bondage under Sin, and Satan, and therefore though men do cry out of the bondage of Antichrist never so much, and yet they go on under the bondage of any Lust, it is not of Faith.
5. If Faith take you off from the bondage under Antichrist it wil take you off from the bondage under any lust. That man that hath not the power of Faith, to take him off from any Lust, That man is not by Faith taken off from the bondage of Antichrist. If Faith delivere from the bondage under Antichrist, it will deliver from the bondage under Sin, and Sathan, and therefore though men do crie out of the bondage of Antichrist never so much, and yet they go on under the bondage of any Lust, it is not of Faith.
6. That Soul that is taken from under the power of Antichrist by Faith, is subject to the power and government of Christ and the Word: If Faith takes from the one, it puts under the other: nothing but the Word can be the ground of Faith, and if Faith takes a Soul from under the bondage of Antichrist, Such a Soul finds the Word comes with divine power, and majesty upon the heart; and it lays a trembling heart under the power and majesty of the Word, and it dares not go from it, no not in no other thing. You plead for the Word in such and such things, but there are other things you do not yield to the power of the Word in, this is very suspicious: Those that by Faith are brought from the power of Antichrist, their hearts are put mightily under the power of the Word, and they lie with trembling spirits before the majesty and Authority of the word.
