That's a sweet word that you have, Rom. 6. 11. Likewise reckon ye also your selves to be dead indeed unto sin. Therefore Christ will never Divorce you for sin. O what a support may this be to a weak Saint! That sin that he fears above all other 1things in the world, is slain judicially and civilly; the Lord hath whipped and stripped it of all its ruling, reigning, domineering, tyrannizing power. O therefore Christians, look upon sin as dead (that is) as not to be obeyed, as not to be acknowledged, no more then a Tyrant, that's stripped of all his tyrannizing power. People that are wise, and understand their liberty, look not upon such a one as fit to be obeyed and served, but as one fit to be renounced, and destroyed. Do you so look upon your sins, and deal accordingly with them?
