First, that there is a twofold obedience unto sin.1
- 1A twofold obedience unto sin Material.
One is Material: when that thing is done or acted which is sinful: the work is repugnant to the will of God, yet this absolutely doth not constitute dominion; for as much as it may be with the soul, as with a Captive, who may do the same work which the subject doth, yet not with the same mind, and not in the same form of service.
Another is formal: when the work of sin is not only done, 1but it is done after the manner of sinning, as when a servant or subject do express service and obedience, they do it with the hearts of servants and subjects, and as to a Master▪ and King: so where a man obeyeth his lusts, where he doth the work, as Covenant-work, as the work of a servant, as a proper work, and as a ready work, as an hearty work, indeed this argues Dominion.
