1. The body of sin, whilst alive, makes a willing sinner, but when dead, a nilling sinner; I do that, which I would not, saith the soul dead to sin; Rom. 7.16.1 The soul alive to sin, in sinning, doth the evil which it would do; but the soul dead to sin in sinning, doth the evil which it would not do.
1. The body of sinne, whilest alive, makes a willing sinner, but when dead, a nilling sinner; I do that, which I would not, saith the soul dead to sinne; Rom. 7.16.1 The soul alive to sinne, in sinning, doth the evill which it would do; but the soul dead to sinne in sinning, doth the evill which it would not do.

2. The soul alive to sin, allows it self in sin; in some sin or other, every soul in whom this body is alive allows it self; But the soul dead to sin, allows not it self in any known sin; What I do, I allow not, saith a soul dead to sin, Rom. 7.15. I do this, and I do that, which I should not, through humane frailty, and the violence of temptation, from ⟨p. 92⟩without and from within, or true necessity; but I allow not what I do, I do not resolve in cold blood, that thus and thus I will do, but the quite contrary. The soul that is truly dead to sin, allows not it self in any one known sin.
