This Gospel-Liberty is not a Liberty to sin; nor may this Liberty be used for an occasion to the flesh, Gal. 5.13. ⟨p. 30⟩but it is a freedom from sin, Rom. 6.18, 22. in respect of the condemnation due thereunto, Rom. 8.1. There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus; and in respect of the dominion thereof, Rom. 6.14. Sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the Law, but under Grace.
