2. There is a Liberty in the family of God, as well as a liberty §. 19 from the family of Satan; Sons are free: their obedience is a free obedience, They have the spirit of the Lord, and where he is, there is Liberty: 2 Cor. 3. 18. as a spirit of Adoption he is opposed to the spirit of bondage, Rom: 8. 15. Now this liberty of our fathers family, which we have as Sons and children, being adopted by Christ through the spirit, is; a spiritual largeness of heart, whereby the children of God do freely, willingly, genuinely, without fear, terror, bondage, and constraint go forth unto all holy obedience in Christ.
