Last Farewell, p. 25. Quot. If this is thy habitual frame of mind, gentle reader, thou art one of those happy ones, to whom the promise declares, sin shall not, have dominion over you. | for you are not under the law, but under grace. Key. The prophetess sheweth the glorious liberty of her believer from the yoke of bondage: that the law, as a legal yoke, or a cove- | nant of works, has no existence, but as such it hath ceased to exist; and this is granted, both by the evangelical and the legal parties. Last Farewell, p. 15. Quot. That, to the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, the law | has ceased to exist as a covenant of works is granted on both sides of the question. Key. The prophetess renews the attack, and insists upon the old commandment's being the moral | law, and that the law is done away. Last Farewell, p. 20. Quot. The old commandment, the same that was given you from the beginning; it is done away indeed as a covenant of works. Key. The prophetess asserteth the non-existence of the law, as a covenant of works, which is a truth of her own; and applaudeth the glory and grandeur of that truth. | Last Farewell, p. 16. Quot. What can be more evident, than that every creature is under a natural obligation to obey the commands of its Creator? and under a moral obligation, as they are not only creatures, but creatures possessed with rationality, grand reasoning, thinking facul ties. Key. The prophetess sheweth, that the believer, as well as the infidel, are under the moral law; that the law still exists, or the apostles must be charged with nonsense; and that none but an antinomian would bring such a charge against an apostle, or deny the existence of the law. Quot. "Whosoever! [it takes in both the believer, and the unbeliever] committeth sin, transgresseth also the law;" consequently, the law still exists, or else the apostle wrote nonsense, which none but an antinomian can suppose. Key. The prophetess reassumes her ground against the antinomian; and insists upon it, that the law is not done away; that such an idea never entered an apostolic mind. eternity and immutability of its nature. Last Farewell, p. 15. Quot. The law is the eternal rule of righteousness, and is incapable of any variation. Key. The prophetess sheweth, that not the yoke of the law, but the Saviour's easy yoke, is submitted to by the church: and that submitting to the word of life in the gospel, as a rule, is real obedience; and that the church's service is filial and evangelical, under the yoke of faith; and not the legal service under the law. Last Farewell, p. 17. Quot. She takes his yoke upon her; and feels herself under the strictest obligations of duty, love, and gratitude, to yield the most filial, evangelical obedience to his commands; as well as to believe, and rejoice in his promises. Key. The prophetess sheweth the blessed state of a believer, who receives fresh vigour and courage from the Saviour. And asserts, that sin has no dominion over such; for they are not under the law, which is the strength of sin, 1 Cor. xv. 56; but under grace, that subdues it. Antinomianism Unmasked, p. 32. Quot. He who is the author and finisher of his faith, strengthens that noble warrior, and inspires it with fresh vigour and courage. So that the believer is enabled to say, I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Sin shall not have dominion over me; for I am not under the law, but under grace. Key. The prophetess sheweth, that the new covenant, not the old, which Paul calls the law of his mind, in which he delighted after the inner man, and which with his mind he served, namely, the law written on the tables of the Antinomianism Unmasked, p. 50. Quot. However, says the ароstle, the law still remains as the rule of righteousness; and every transgession of it is sin; and he that committeth sin is of the devil. Key. The prophetess sheweth, that if the moral law is done away, the believer cannot be culpable of blame by any other rule; that he cannot be tried or judged by any other law. heart, not on tables of stone, is the Quot. This is the experience of the Church of Christ, while in her militant state. The laws of her King are written upon her heart, and are the rule of her conduct. Key. The prophetess maketh the authority of the law null and void. Asserteth the law to be done away as a covenant of works, which sets aside all its morality: and that which remains for the believer to do, is to consider the moral law as a rule; which consideration, when it has passed through the believer's head, is transubstantiated into a truth of considerable magnitude. Last Farewell, p. 20. Quot. If the law is so done away, as that the believer, do what he will, cannot sin, because there is no law to forbid, and, by forbidding, make the action criminal; why did the Holy Spirit dictate, under the gospel dispensation, this scripture; "Whosoever commit-rule of righteousness. teth sin, transgresseth also the law, for sin is the transgression of the law?" Last Farewell, p. 20. Quot. I refer you to the old commandment: it is done away, indeed, as a covenant of works, page the 15th. But, that the moral law ought still to be considered as a rule of the believer's conduct, is as great a truth: it is the eternal Key. The prophetess asserteth the weakness of sin, and the omnipotence of grace. Last Farewell, p. 25. Quot. Sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law, but under grace. Key. The prophetess sheweth that union, which is effected by the indwelling of the Spirit of love, is wrought in the soul by faith. The antinomian charged with a denial of this truth. Last Farewell, p. 13. Quot. The antinomian denies vital, experimental, personal union, wrought in the soul by faith. Key. The prophetess sheweth the omnipotence of sin, and the impotence of grace. Last Farewell, p. 15. Quot. At other times sin rouses up all its powers, attempts to shake off the yoke; and even prevails so far, as to take the new man, which is grace, captive. Key. The prophetess sheweth, that faith does not work spiritual union in the soul, but that the Spirit of union creates faith. Last Farewell, p. 22. Quot. It is the Holy Ghost who alone can create this faith in the soul of a sinner. Key. The prophetess sheweth that faith, which the scriptures call the saint's victory, is the giver of itself, and of all other victory. Last Farewell, p. 14. Quot. Faith gives the soul victory over sin, Satan, and the world. Key. The prophetess sheweth that faith, instead of the word of God, is a sword, which cuts the sinner from the old stock of nature, and ingrafts him into the renowned vine; and that Christ, and not faith, works the saint's union; and that faith is Christ's plant, and not the Spirit's creature. Last Farewell, p. 22. Quot. Christ, by an act of divine sovereignty, unites to himself, by implanting in their hearts vital faith, by which they are cut off from the old stock, and are ingrafted into the new, the living Vine. Key. The prophetess asserteth the salvation of the believing soul from the love and power of all sin; and likewise liberty from bondage and fear, which come by the law; and the blessing consequent upon the glorious liberty of the gospel. Antinomianism Unmasked, p. 23. Quot. In this way the Lord Jesus Christ sanctifies his people, and actually saves them from the love and power of sin: for, when this is the case, they are brought Key. The prophetess sheweth, that faith is not a person, consequently not the giver of any thing; and that faith is no more than a hand, that receives all grace and help from the Saviour. Last Farewell, p. 22. Quot. Because faith, as a hand, receives Christ as the justifying righteousness of the soul; and actually receives out of his fulness all those communications of divine grace. Key. The prophetess sheweth, that instead of faith working vital union, it is no more than an attendant on the word; and that the scriptures, and not faith, is the sword which cuts down all opposi tion. Last Farewell, P. 23. Quot. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. The word of God is the sword of the Spirit; and when the Holy Ghost takes this noble sword into his almighty hand, he makes it quick and powerful, cutting down all opposition. Key. The prophetess asserteth the right of those who feel themselves under the dominion of sin and Satan, to rejoice in the liberty of the gospel; and that such captives are the Lord's free men, and that those should rejoice in liberty though in captivity; and that such should rejoice in salvation, though under the power of sin and Satan; from this consideration, that though sin has dominion over him, yet it has no dominion; for, although he is a captive, yet not a slave, though he feels himself a slave both to sin and Satan. Antinomianism Unmasked, p. 62. Quot. Such as conclude they have no right to rejoice in the liberty of the gospel; that they are not the Lord's free men, but still slaves to sin and Satan, still under the reigning power of sin, and consequently not partakers of Christ's salvation. Now, lest any of these whose hearts the Lord would not have made sad, should be made sad through any thing contained in this treatise, I would wish to observe, that wherever sin is hated, not only in its consequences and punishment, but in its nature and prac tice; where it is struggled with, fought against, prayed against, and groaned under; it has no dominion; the soul, though a captive, is not a slave, |
