Thesis 107.

[ 107] The Law and mans sinfull heart are quite opposite one to another, Rom. 7.9, 10, 11, 13. but when (through the grace of Christ) the heart is changed, so as there is a new nature or new man in a beleever, then there is a sweet agreement between this new nature and the Law, for (saith Paul) I delight in the Law of God in my inner man: it is therefore a most false assertion to say, that the old man of a Belee∣ver is to be kept under the law, but the new man or new nature is above all Law, for though the new nature bee a∣bove it as a legall covenant, yet it never comes to be wil∣lingly under it as a rule untill now: an imperfect new na∣ture is infinitely glad of the guidance of a holy and most perfect law. Psalme 119.140.
