brineine me into captivity under ihe Law of Sin. O vretched iman
that Tam l who sall deliver me from this body of death? NOW FrOm

Legal state, We are noc delivered, nor made Conguerors by Wwhac
Christ did outmaraly uxon the Crols, as lome imagine; a5 it he hac

the inward mortine oF his Holy Spirit, Trecinsus Fromche Povee
and Bondase oF Sin, and unberitchins us Cromthe Lore otit.
Wheretore there is a double Freedom Erom this Lecat Cate to bc
cakten norice oF; a True and a False Frecdom; Wrhich l CaHNOE BCtter
explain chan by utine che ApoCles omn similitude in che beginniue
OF thcy. Chap. Knom je not Brethren, that the Lau hath dominion
over a man as lone as he livethe (Or rather as lone as TE, that is, Ibe
Zam, livethe) For the Woman which hath an Husband is bound by the
Laro toher Husband so lone as he liveth; but if her Husband be dead,
Be is loosed from the Law of the Husband. S0 then, if while her Huf-
band liveth se be married to another man, stestall becalled an Adulte-
ress: but if her Husband be dead, seis freefrom that Law; so thatse
is no adulteres thouchse be married to anotherman. Where che Law
is Compared to an Eusband; and one that is under the Lam, Or in a
Cecalstate, t0 a Woman that hath an Flusband. And aS thCre arCLIVO
mays br irhich a Woman may be Ereed trom her Husband; Theone,
iF he breale loose From him rhilse he yet liveth, contrarr 10 the
Laws oF Wedlock, and marry to anocher man; irtrich is an undue
and unlamtul Erecdom, For then Be is justly siled an Adulteress;
Anocher, il e Cay eill her Husband bo dead, and then, beins trec
Erom cheLaw oF her Hlusband, does lamtully marrr co anotherman.
In likce manner chere arcerro mars by irhich men may befrced trom
the Lar, 25 it is an invardstate of Bondace and servility. ThC CrA
is, rhenmen doillesally and unlamtully breale loole From che Lam
wrtrich is cheir Fusband, Wrhrilsthe is yet alive and ougheto have Do-
minion over chem, and marry chemsclres to anocher Husband;
erhich Husbands name is Carnat Liberty or Licentionsness, 100 often
mis. called in thele latter Times by che name oE Christian Liberty:
and Cuch as chese may well Be Ailed in che Scripture language
Adulterers and Adulteresses. Bue there is another Preedom From the
LaW, irhich is a due and just Freedom, irhen we do noc make our
Celves Eree belore che time, violentr breakins loole From it; but
