1. In respect of assent: when the understanding subjects it 1self to its motions: I say subjects it self, for there are two acts of the mind about the motions and commands of sin; one is apprehension, another is subjection: a man may apprehend sin as working, and yet he may not embrace, but resist that working of sin: And then it is not sin in dominion: If I see an enemy approaching, and rise up to oppose that enemy, he is now an enemy encountering, but he is not a King ruling: so that it is not mere apprehension, but subjection 2which puts up sin into the Throne, into a dominion: (i.) when sin gives the command, and the sinner yields thereto, Renders up himself to the obedience, freely gives way unto, and entertains the motions of sin.
