The fountain of all sin, in all persons is Lust. Rom. 7. 7. 5. Observations clearing the difference between Begenerate and unregenerate persons in their sinning, as to the common fountain of all sin: The first. 6. The second of the universality of Lust in the soul by nature. 7. The Third, in two inferences: the first, unregenerate men sin with their whole consent. 8. The Second inference concerning the reign of sin, and reigning sin. 9. The Fourth, concerning the universal possession of the Soul by renewing Grace. 10. The fifth, that true Grace bears rule where ever it be. 11. Inferences from the former considerations. The first, that in every regenerate person there are diverse principles of all Moral operations. Rom 7. 19. 20. opened. 12. The second, that sin cannot reign in a Regenerate person. 13. The third, that Regenerate persons sin not with their whole consent. 14.

Plurality of Wills in the same person in the Scripture sense: of the opposition between flesh and spirit: that no Regenerate person sins with his full consent proved. 17.
