1. The Law discovereth sin, and maketh it appear in its own colours, the more light and knowledge of the Law, the more sense of sin, as in transparent vessels, dregs are soon discerned; Rom. 6. 9. I was alive without the Law, but when the Law came, sin revived, and I dyed. When by a sound conviction all disguises are taken off from the conscience, we find sin to be sin indeed; Paul was alive before, that is, in his own hopes, as many a stupid soul maketh full account he shall go to heaven, till conscience be opened, and then they find themselves in the mouth of Death and Hell.
