In this Chapter, in the verse before my Text, the Apostle Paul triumpheth in that liberty which he had through the grace of God; I delight, saith he, in the Law of God concerning the inner man, though I find many temptations to the contrary. But when he had expressed that triumph, he comes now with another caution, which he expresseth in these words that I have read; But I see another Law in my members warring against the Law of my mind, and leading me captive to the Law of sin that is in my members. That is, I find in my self a strong inclination, a strong habit of sin, carrying me violently to that which is evil. Now this he sets forth by these properties.

First, he calls it a Law
Secondly, he saith, it is a Law in his members.
