Sol. Three things may be said of this,
1. If David or any regenerate person should be left unto himself, sin would have dominion over him: therefore he prays, acknowledging that it must be a strength greater then his own, &c.
2. Prayers are a means to fetch us out of the Dominion of sin, and keep off sin from having dominion over us: upon Pauls prayer, the answer was, my grace is sufficient for thee.
3. Although habitual, and universal, and final dominion of sin be incompatible or inconsistent with the state of grace, yet actual and particular dominion is possible, and there are great reasons for a regenerate person to pray, if it were no more then against particular, and temporary dominion of sin; but of this more distinctly in the next Section.
