  20. ehe Lam sinis dead; and sin beine but d eransgrection ofthe
  21. Lau, there canbe no action made sin but by ihe Lao. There-
  22. fore this opinion thouchit derive actions essentially from God, it
  23. derives not sins essentially fromhim, but relarively, and by the
  24. Commandement. And conseguent ly the opinion of necessicy; ta-
  25. keth not amay the nature of sin, but necessirateth that action
  26. rhich the Laro hath made sin. And rhoreas Lsaid the nature of

  29. forehe must allov also, that the formal reason of sin lieth not in
  30. the Liberey or necessiry of willine, but in the mill it sels (necessa-
  31. ry or annecessary) in relation to the LaW. And mhereas heli-
