And if we say that we have no sin, we deceive our selves, and the truth is not in us, 1 Joh. 1.8. And Rom. 7.23. a new Creature saith, I see a Law in my members, rebelling against the law of my mind, and leading me captive to the Law of sin, which is in my members. He doth not say (I saw) as one speaking of the time past, before conversion, but [I see] as one speaking in the (present Tense) and of the time after conversion; he doth not say, bringing me into captivity to the Law of sin (which was) in my members, but (unto the law of sin which is in my members;) by all which it is evident, That this Text means no such thing as immunity and freedom from the motions, act, or being of sin: He therefore that shall hence conclude, That he is totally freed from the power and being of sin, so that he doth not nor cannot sin no more than the glorified Saints, or Christ himself, doth make of a touch stone, a mill-stone to grind him to powder.
And if we say that we have no sinne, we deceive our selves, and the truth is not in us, 1 Ioh. 1.8. And Rom. 7.23. a new Creature saith, I see a Law in my members, rebelling against the law of my mind, and leading me captive to the Law of sinne, which is in my members. He doth not say (I saw) as one speaking of the time past, before conversion, but [I see] as one speaking in the (present Tence) and of the time after conversion; he doth not say, bringing me into captivity to the Law of sinne (which was) in my members, but (unto the law of sinne which is in my members;) by all which it is evident, That this Text means no such thing as immunity and freedom from the motions, act, or being of sinne: He therefore that shall hence conclude, That he is totally freed from the power and being of sinne, so that he doth not nor cannot sinne no more than the glorified Saints, or Christ himself, doth make of a touch stone, a mill-stone to grind him to powder.
