In justification we are liberated from the chains of our sins, so far as they bound us for condemnation, yea, even so far as they held us under the dominion of Satan; and this suffices for its being truly said, that the chains of our sins are broken asunder by the grace of God: for the remains thereof abiding in us have not the nature of a chain; but are themselves enchained by the grace now predominant over them, and treading them, as it were, under foot.
