Quest. Now what is it to [lay aside] or how can we lay aside, since sin sticks so close to us, and is engraven in our natures?
Ans. Certainly something may be done by us; for this is every where pressed as our duty, Ephes. 4. 4. 22. Put off the old man; and 1 Pet. 2. 11. we may put it off more and more, though we cannot lay it aside. Then we are said to lay aside the sin that so easily besets us, when we prevent and break the dominion of it, that it shall not reign over us, Rom. 6 12. Let not sin reign, &c. Though it dwells in us, lives in us, and works in us, yet it should not overcome us, and bring us into bondage, and so it will not be imputed to our condemnation; and at length, when the soul shall be separated from the body, we shall be wholly free from it.
