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.

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
