A distinctive of Antinomian teaching is that God sees no sin in the saints. The reformed taught that indwelling sin was a continuing presence which saints were obliged to mortify, as clearly taught in the Old and New Testament Scriptures.
That is quite correct; though I got the impression that Thomas Edwards' main problem with it was that it was being sung in place of the Psalms of David.
