A treatise of the dominion of sin and grace wherein sin's reign is discovered,…

BUT the Enquiry hereon is, how it follows from hence, that Sin shall not have Dominion over us; that Sin cannot extend its Territories and Rule into that ⟨p. 101⟩state; and in what sense this is affirmed?

1. IS it that there shall be no Sin in them any more? Even this is true in some sense. Sin, as unto its condemning Power, hath no place in this State, Rom. viij. 1. All the sins of them that believe are expiated or done away, as to the guilt of them in the Blood of Christ, Heb. i. 2. 1 Joh. i. 7. This branch of the Dominion of Sin, which consists in its condemning Power, is utterly cast out of this state. But Sin, as unto its Being and Operation doth still continue in Believers, whilst they are in this World: They are all sensible of it. Those who deceive themselves with a contrary apprehension, are most of all under the Power of it, 1 Joh. i. 8. Wherefore to be freed from the Dominion of Sin, is not to be freed absolutely from all Sin; so as that it should in no sense abide in us any more. This is not to be under Grace, but to be in Glory.
