THE LAVV OVT LAVVED OR, The Charter of the Gospell shewing the priviledge and prerogative of the Saints by vertue of the Covenant.

Wherein these foure points of doctrine are properly observed, Plainely proved, both by Scripture, and reason: and pithily applyed. Namely: Doctrine 1 That he that is in the state of grace lyeth in no knowne sinne, no sinne has dominion over him. 2 That sinne though it does not raigne in the Saints, yet it does remaine and dwell in them. 3 That the way to overcome sinne, is to get assurance of the love, and grace, and favor of God, whereby it is forgiven them. 4 That whoever is under the Law, sinne has dominion over him.

By that late faithfull and worthy Minister of Jesus Christ. John Preston, Doctor in divinity, Chaplaine in ordinary to his Majestie, Master of Emmanuel Colledge in Cambridge, and sometimes preacher of Lincolnes Inne.

Let not sinne therefore raigne in your mortall bodies, that you should obey the lusts thereof (Romans 6:12).
