Romans6:15

15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid .

Doth it follow from hence that we are lawless, and may live as we list?

q. d. No by no means, the Premises afford no such Conclusion; though we are not under the curse and rigour of the Law, yet we are under its directions and discipline: The Gospel allowes of sin no more than the Law. The Apostle is careful both here and elsewhere, to prevent licenciousness, or the abuse of Christian Liberty. vid. Gal. 5.13. 1 Pet. 2.16. vid. v. 1, and the notes there.

Marginal references: 1 Cor. 9.21.
