The Captivating power of Indwelling-Sin, wherein it consisteth. The prevalency of Sin, when from it self, when from Temptation. The Rage and Madness that is in Sin.
The third thing assigned unto this Law of Sin in its opposition unto God, and the Law of his Grace, is, that it leads the soul Captive, Rom. 7. 23. I find a Law leading me Captive, (Captivating me) unto the Law of Sin. And this is the utmost height which the Apostle in that place carries the ⟨p. 83⟩opposition and warring of the remainders of Indwelling-Sin unto; closing the consideration of it with a complaint of the state and condition of Believers thereby; and an earnest prayer for deliverance from it, ver. 24. O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death. What is contained in this expression, and intended by it, shall be declared in the ensuing Observations.
