no_o other_o comfort_n yet_o than_o our_o conscience_n will_v witness_v comfortable_o that_o notwithstanding_o we_o die_v yet_o we_o shall_v come_v where_o we_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o oh_o then_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v let_v we_o give_v all_o diligenec_fw-la to_o make_v our_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o pain_n it_o be_v not_o easy_o get_v but_o it_o will_v abundant_o recompense_v the_o pain_n if_o we_o look_v and_o find_v our_o sinful_a lust_n mortify_v in_o part_n let_v not_o that_o satisfy_v we_o let_v we_o not_o rest_v there_o but_o go_v further_o and_o proceed_v in_o the_o work_n of_o mortification_n for_o look_v as_o our_o mortification_n be_v so_o be_v our_o assurance_n the_o weak_a our_o mortification_n be_v the_o weak_a our_o assurance_n of_o salvation_n the_o strong_a our_o mortification_n the_o better_a assurance_n we_o have_v of_o salvation_n use_v 3_o three_o if_o they_o that_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n may_v rest_v assure_v that_o they_o shall_v live_v with_o he_o then_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o contrary_n they_o that_o be_v not_o dead_a with_o christ_n can_v assure_v themselves_o that_o they_o shall_v live_v with_o he_o if_o only_o he_o can_v be_v assure_v of_o salvation_n in_o who_o sinful_a lust_n be_v mortify_v than_o he_o in_o who_o they_o be_v not_o mortify_v that_o man_n can_v be_v assure_v of_o salvation_n indeed_o he_o may_v have_v a_o kind_n of_o a_o wild_a hope_n a_o presumptuous_a confidence_n but_o it_o be_v such_o as_o will_v fail_v he_o in_o the_o time_n of_o need_n like_o to_o your_o winter_n brook_n or_o land-flood_n in_o the_o time_n of_o winter_n when_o a_o man_n have_v no_o use_n of_o water_n they_o flow_v abundant_o but_o in_o summer_n in_o the_o time_n of_o drought_n when_o man_n have_v need_n they_o be_v go_v they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v have_v so_o that_o assurance_n that_o a_o man_n have_v as_o long_o as_o he_o go_v on_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o his_o sinful_a lust_n it_o be_v a_o wild_a deceitful_a presumption_n such_o a_o assurance_n as_o will_v do_v he_o no_o good_a when_o he_o come_v to_o need_v it_o i_o have_v read_v it_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o trial_n that_o be_v use_v when_o there_o be_v a_o controversy_n of_o land_n whether_o it_o belong_v to_o ireland_n or_o to_o england_n they_o do_v take_v snake_n and_o toad_n and_o poisonous_a serpent_n and_o put_v there_o and_o if_o they_o live_v there_o they_o conclude_v it_o belong_v to_o england_n if_o they_o die_v they_o judge_v it_o belong_v to_o ireland_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o no_o venomous_a thing_n will_v live_v there_o i_o apply_v it_o thus_o sinful_a lust_n be_v like_o snake_n and_o toad_n and_o venomous_a creature_n look_v what_o soul_n they_o live_v in_o if_o they_o live_v in_o a_o man_n soul_n it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o he_o belong_v not_o to_o heaven_n and_o we_o know_v what_o place_n he_o belong_v to_o then_o only_o to_o hell_n if_o it_o die_v in_o we_o we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o belong_v to_o heaven_n he_o in_o who_o sin_n live_v and_o his_o lust_n continue_v unmortified_a that_o man_n can_v assure_v himself_o of_o salvation_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o all_o assurance_n come_v from_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n god_n have_v make_v no_o promise_n to_o man_n that_o continue_v and_o go_v on_o in_o the_o service_n and_o obedience_n of_o their_o sinful_a lust_n he_o threaten_v nothing_o but_o death_n and_o destruction_n to_o such_o if_o you_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n you_o shall_v die_v 8.13_o rom._n 8.13_o rom._n 8.13_o this_o shall_v suffice_v to_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o three_o point_n the_o certainty_n of_o this_o connexion_n if_o we_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n we_o believe_v that_o we_o shall_v also_o live_v with_o he_o mortification_n seal_v up_o to_o a_o man_n soul_n and_o conscience_n the_o assurance_n of_o salvation_n for_o they_o that_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n may_v rest_v assure_v and_o persuade_v that_o they_o shall_v live_v with_o he_o i_o come_v to_o the_o four_o and_o last_o point_n the_o cause_n and_o ground_n of_o this_o death_n to_o sin_n and_o this_o life_n to_o grace_n which_o be_v christ_n if_o we_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n we_o believe_v that_o we_o shall_v also_o live_v with_o he_o if_o we_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n that_o be_v if_o we_o be_v dead_a by_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o christ_n than_o we_o believe_v that_o we_o shall_v also_o live_v by_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o the_o same_o christ_n the_o conclusion_n be_v this_o that_o as_o our_o death_n to_o sin_n so_o our_o life_n to_o grace_n they_o both_o proceed_v from_o christ_n if_o we_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n say_v the_o apostle_n that_o be_v if_o we_o be_v dead_a by_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o christ_n if_o sin_n be_v dead_a in_o we_o than_o we_o believe_v that_o we_o shall_v also_o live_v with_o christ_n the_o life_n of_o grace_n here_o and_o of_o glory_n hereafter_o by_o the_o power_n and_o virtue_n of_o the_o same_o christ_n i_o say_v the_o point_n on_o which_o i_o shall_v insist_v be_v this_o that_o as_o our_o death_n to_o sin_n so_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n they_o both_o proceed_v from_o christ_n christ_n be_v the_o author_n and_o the_o producer_n of_o both_o so_o say_v saint_n paul_n in_o gal._n 2.20_o say_v the_o apostle_n 2.20_o gal._n 2.20_o i_o be_o crucify_v with_o christ_n yet_o notwithstanding_o i_o live_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o and_o the_o life_n that_o i_o live_v in_o the_o flesh_n be_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o love_v i_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o i_o look_v what_o the_o apostle_n paul_n speak_v of_o himself_o the_o same_o may_v every_o christian_a in_o who_o sin_n be_v dead_a and_o mortify_a and_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n wrought_v speak_v of_o himself_o say_v the_o apostle_n i_o be_o crucify_v with_o christ_n that_o be_v sin_n be_v crucify_v in_o i_o sinful_a lust_n be_v crucify_v and_o mortify_v in_o i_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n so_o say_v he_o i_o live_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o i_o live_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o i_o be_o crucify_v to_o sin_n by_o christ_n so_o i_o live_v by_o the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n 10_o phil._n 3.8_o 9_o 10_o so_o in_o philip_n 3.8_o 9_o 10._o he_o desire_v so_o earnest_o to_o be_v find_v in_o christ_n that_o he_o contemn_v and_o undervalue_v all_o thing_n but_o this_o that_o he_o may_v be_v find_v in_o christ_n say_v he_o i_o account_v all_o loss_n for_o the_o excellent_a knowledge_n of_o christ_n for_o who_o i_o suffer_v the_o loss_n of_o all_o thing_n nay_o i_o account_v they_o not_o only_a loss_n but_o dung_n that_o i_o may_v win_v christ_n and_o be_v find_v in_o he_o we_o see_v in_o verse_n 10._o the_o reason_n that_o i_o may_v know_v he_o and_o the_o power_n of_o his_o resurrection_n and_o the_o fellowship_n of_o his_o suffeing_n be_v make_v conformable_a to_o his_o death_n the_o reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n desire_v to_o be_v find_v in_o christ_n and_o why_o in_o comparison_n of_o this_o he_o account_v all_o thing_n as_o dross_n it_o be_v because_o he_o may_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o christ_n death_n what_o be_v the_o fellowship_n of_o christ_n death_n but_o to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n that_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a that_o by_o the_o same_o spirit_n of_o christ_n he_o may_v be_v raise_v from_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n to_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v this_o because_o as_o our_o death_n to_o sin_n so_o our_o life_n to_o grace_n be_v both_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n from_o who_o can_v we_o expect_v the_o work_n of_o grace_n but_o from_o he_o in_o who_o be_v the_o fullness_n of_o grace_n so_o say_v saint_n john_n joh_n 1.14_o the_o word_n be_v make_v flesh_n that_o be_v christ_n and_o dwell_v among_o we_o 1.14_o joh._n 1.14_o and_o we_o see_v his_o glory_n as_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n full_a of_o grace_n and_o truth_n our_o death_n to_o sin_n and_o our_o life_n to_o christ_n be_v both_o the_o effect_n of_o god_n grace_n now_o from_o who_o can_v we_o have_v the_o effect_n of_o god_n grace_n but_o from_o he_o in_o who_o alone_o be_v the_o fullness_n of_o grace_n the_o word_n be_v make_v manifest_a among_o we_o in_o who_o be_v the_o fullness_n of_o truth_n and_o grace_n look_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o natural_a body_n so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o mystical_a body_n as_o in_o the_o natural_a body_n all_o the_o natural_a motion_n proceed_v from_o the_o head_n and_o from_o the_o virtue_n that_o be_v derive_v from_o the_o head_n to_o the_o member_n so_o in_o the_o mystical_a body_n all_o

the_o spiritual_a motion_n it_o proceed_v from_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o head_n christ_n be_v the_o head_n and_o from_o he_o as_o from_o the_o head_n be_v derive_v all_o the_o virtue_n to_o the_o member_n of_o christ_n by_o which_o the_o death_n to_o sin_n and_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n be_v wrought_v in_o we_o likewise_o look_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o oil_n of_o aaron_n the_o oil_n that_o be_v pour_v on_o the_o head_n of_o aaron_n it_o stay_v not_o on_o his_o head_n but_o descend_v to_o the_o skirt_n of_o his_o clothing_n so_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n it_o rest_v not_o on_o christ_n only_o but_o from_o christ_n as_o the_o head_n it_o descend_v upon_o all_o the_o member_n of_o christ_n the_o reason_n thereof_o why_o as_o our_o death_n to_o sin_n so_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n proceed_v from_o christ_n be_v because_o both_o be_v the_o work_n of_o grace_n according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o evangelist_n in_o he_o dwell_v all_o the_o fullness_n of_o grace_n and_o in_o collos_n the_o apostle_n say_v in_o he_o dwell_v the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n bodily_a for_o the_o better_a and_o full_a open_n of_o the_o point_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o propose_v and_o resolve_v one_o question_n and_o that_o be_v this_o quest_n quest_n if_o our_o death_n to_o sin_n and_o our_o life_n of_o grace_n both_o proceed_v from_o christ_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o action_n then_o how_o be_v christ_n the_o author_n of_o they_o what_o kind_n of_o cause_n be_v christ_n say_v to_o be_v both_o of_o our_o death_n to_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n i_o answer_v brief_o answ_n answ_n christ_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o cause_n both_o of_o our_o death_n to_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n in_o a_o fourfold_a respect_n or_o he_o be_v a_o fourfold_a kind_n of_o cause_n christ_n be_v the_o 1_o meritorious_a 2_o exemplary_a 3_o moral_n 4_o efficient_a cause_n as_o of_o our_o death_n to_o sin_n so_o likewise_o of_o our_o life_n to_o grace_n first_o christ_n be_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n for_o christ_n do_v by_o his_o death_n and_o obedience_n not_o only_o purchase_v for_o we_o a_o release_n and_o freedom_n from_o hell_n and_o consequent_o title_n to_o heaven_n but_o christ_n merit_v for_o we_o the_o donation_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n whereby_o we_o be_v make_v fit_a for_o and_o capable_a of_o that_o inheritance_n christ_n not_o only_o purchase_v a_o right_a to_o heaven_n but_o grace_n holiness_n whereby_o we_o may_v come_v at_o last_o to_o jus_o in●re_n for_o as_o i_o say_v before_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n only_o we_o come_v to_o have_v right_a to_o heaven_n but_o it_o be_v our_o own_o righteousness_n whereby_o we_o come_v to_o be_v make_v capable_a of_o that_o

unsanctified_a and_o uncontrolled_a it_o shall_v not_o inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n therefore_o christ_n have_v purchase_v not_o only_a redemption_n from_o hell_n and_o title_n to_o heaven_n but_o the_o donation_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n whereby_o we_o be_v make_v fit_a and_o capable_a of_o heaven_n whereby_o we_o be_v make_v meet_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o inheritance_n with_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n 17.19_o joh._n 17.19_o so_o say_v the_o evangelist_n joh._n 17.19_o for_o their_o sake_n say_v our_o saviour_n i_o sanctify_v myself_o that_o

himself_o that_o his_o member_n may_v be_v sanctify_v that_o by_o the_o merit_n and_o virtue_n of_o christ_n sanctification_n we_o may_v be_v sanctify_v so_o say_v the_o apostle_n to_o titus_n he_o have_v bestow_v on_o we_o the_o spirit_n through_o christ_n 3.5_o tit._n 3.5_o tit._n 3.5_o not_o by_o the_o work_n of_o rightcousnesse_n that_o we_o have_v do_v but_o according_a to_o his_o mercy_n

through_o christ_n only_o as_o through_o the_o meritorious_a cause_n by_o who_o we_o obtain_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n by_o which_o spirit_n our_o sinful_a lust_n be_v mortify_v in_o we_o and_o by_o which_o we_o be_v quicken_v and_o revive_v to_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n so_o christ_n be_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n he_o deserve_v the_o donation_n of_o the_o spirit_n from_o his_o father_n second_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v the_o meritorious_a so_o he_o be_v the_o exemplary_a cause_n as_o of_o death_n to_o sin_n so_o of_o our_o life_n to_o grace_n christ_n in_o die_v to_o sin_n he_o set_v himself_o as_o a_o pattern_n to_o we_o to_o teach_v as_o also_o that_o we_o shall_v die_v to_o sin_n christ_n in_o rise_v from_o the_o grave_n he_o set_v himself_o a_o pattern_n to_o we_o to_o teach_v we_o to_o rise_v from_o sin_n so_o he_o be_v the_o exemplary_a cause_n for_o christ_n be_v a_o pattern_n for_o our_o imitation_n in_o his_o moral_a action_n and_o we_o must_v resemble_v after_o a_o

it_o be_v true_a in_o a_o different_a manner_n christ_n be_v a_o pattern_n to_o we_o in_o action_n moral_a that_o be_v in_o the_o good_a thing_n that_o he_o perform_v that_o be_v command_v in_o the_o
