SECT. I.
Quest. 1. FOR the first of these, What Dominion of sin doth 1import?
- 1What Dominion of sin imports.
Sol. Dominion is given sometimes to God, sometimes to Christ as Mediator, sometimes to man over man, sometimes to Satan over man, sometimes to death which is said to rule, and sometimes to sin, when it is betwixt sin and the sinner, as betwixt a King and his Subjects. As a reigning King hath ⟨p. 102⟩dominion, so sin, it acts in all things like a King. 1. It hath possession, original sin of our hearts; actual sin of our lives. 2. Hath a title, our forsaking of God, and voluntary election and compact. 3. Hath a throne, our souls. 4. Hath servants, our Members. 5. Hath a counsel, our carnal wisdom and corrupt reasonings. 6. Hath power to give Laws, and see them executed. Paul speaks of the Law in his members, and the Law of sin, Rom. 7. 21, 22.
