THE
CONTENTS.
CHAP. I. WHAT Sin is consistent with the
State of Grace, and what not.
Sin's great Design in all, to ob∣tain
Dominion: It hath it in Vnbelievers,
and contends for it in Believers. The ways
by which it acts. Page 1
CHAP. II. The Enquiries for understanding the Text
proposed; the first spoken to: viz. What is
the Dominion of Sin, which we are freed
from, and discharged of by Grace. Page 9
CHAP. III. The Second Enquiry spoken to; Whether
Sin hath Dominion in us or no? In answer
to which it's shewed, That some wear Sin's Li∣very,
and they are the professed Servants
thereof. There are many in which the Case
is dubious, where Sin's service is not so
discernable. Several Exceptions are put in
against its Dominion, where it seems to pre∣vail.
descriptionPage [unnumbered]
Some certain Signs of its Dominion.
Graces and Duties to be exercised for its Mor∣tification.
Page 32
CHAP. IV. Hardness of Heart spoken to, as an emi∣nent
sign of Sin's Dominion, and is shew∣ed,
that it ought to be considered as total or
partial. Page 72
...CHAP. V.
The Third Enquiry handled, viz. What
is the assurance given us, and what are the
Grounds thereof, that Sin shall not have Do∣minion
over us?
The Ground of this assurance is, That
we are not under the Law but Grace. The
Force of this Reason shewed, viz. How the
Law doth not destroy the Dominion of Sin,
and how Grace dethrones Sin and gives Do∣minion
over it. Page 92
CHAP. VI. The Practical Observations drawn from,
and Application made of, the whole Text.
