Chapter 68

VI. Every sin, both original aitd actnaV being a

transgression of the rigfiteous law of God, and contrary dolh, in its own nature,^ bring guilt upon whereby he is l)ound over to tlie wrath
thereunto " the sinner •f God ^ to death \ eternal \
md curse of the law'', and so made subject with all miseries spiritual % temporal \ and
in the flesh, tha motions of sins, ■which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit vinto death. Ver. 7. What shall we say then ? Is the law sin .' God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin Isut by the law ; for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou bhalt not covet, Ver. 8. But sin, laking occasion by the command- ment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. Ver. 25. I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the niii:d I myself serve the law of God ; but with the flesh the law of sin. Gal. v. 17. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit' against the flesh : and these are contrary the ane to the other ; so that ye cannot do the thhigs that ye would.
