christ_n and_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o body_n up_o out_o of_o the_o water_n of_o his_o resurrection_n this_o be_v not_o so_o point_v out_o by_o sprinkle_v now_o for_o answer_n hereto_o to_o avoid_v repetition_n see_v the_o reply_n page_n the_o 80._o and_o grant_v that_o we_o do_v not_o in_o our_o way_n of_o administer_a at_o least_o so_o exact_o and_o full_o represent_v christ_n burial_n and_o resurrection_n of_o which_o as_o i_o have_v show_v there_o be_v no_o absolute_a necessity_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o do_v in_o the_o ceremony_n it_o will_v concern_v we_o nevertheless_o to_o consider_v how_o we_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v bury_v and_o rise_v with_o christ_n in_o a_o spiritual_a figurative_a sense_n and_o to_o see_v that_o the_o fruit_n and_o consequence_n of_o our_o baptism_n do_v answer_v as_o his_o death_n so_o his_o burial_n which_o speak_v not_o only_o our_o die_n unto_o sin_n but_o our_o continue_n and_o persevere_v in_o this_o state_n of_o mortification_n and_o likewise_o his_o resurrection_n in_o our_o symbolise_n therewith_o in_o rise_v to_o newness_n of_o life_n first_o as_o to_o our_o burial_n with_o christ_n our_o saviour_n lie_v three_o day_n in_o the_o grave_a put_v it_o beyond_o all_o doubt_n that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o the_o dead_a so_o true_a believer_n be_v bury_v with_o he_o but_o how_o can_v that_o be_v you_o will_v say_v that_o we_o who_o be_v true_a believer_n suppose_v be_v yet_o live_v can_v be_v bury_v with_o he_o we_o never_o be_v lay_v in_o the_o grave_a sure_o not_o in_o our_o lord_n which_o be_v situate_a on_o mount_n calvary_n nigh_o to_o jerusalem_n place_n very_o distant_a from_o our_o abode_n but_o we_o must_v know_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o natural_a but_o a_o mystical_a grave_n or_o sepulchre_n that_o the_o apostle_n refer_v to_o and_o so_o we_o may_v be_v say_v in_o a_o figurative_a sense_n to_o be_v bury_v with_o christ_n and_o that_o in_o a_o double_a respect_n first_o in_o regard_n of_o our_o justification_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n second_o with_o respect_n to_o our_o sanctification_n and_o the_o mortification_n of_o the_o old_a man._n concern_v the_o first_o it_o be_v certain_a as_o he_o be_v not_o crucify_v and_o put_v to_o death_n so_o neither_o be_v he_o bury_v which_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o consequent_a of_o death_n but_o for_o we_o and_o have_v under-gone_a death_n and_o descend_v to_o the_o dismal_a state_n of_o the_o grave_a for_o our_o salvation_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o when_o he_o be_v bury_v we_o be_v bury_v in_o he_o and_o with_o he_o since_o it_o be_v proper_o for_o we_o that_o he_o descend_v into_o the_o grave_a in_o that_o his_o burial_n have_v discharge_v this_o part_n of_o our_o punishment_n and_o consequent_o have_v change_v the_o nature_n of_o our_o grave_n that_o instead_o of_o be_v prison_n and_o place_n of_o execution_n our_o grave_n be_v now_o so_o many_o bed_n and_o dormitory_n wherein_o our_o body_n do_v repose_v until_o the_o resurrection_n but_o it_o be_v not_o in_o this_o sense_n that_o the_o apostle_n say_v here_o we_o be_v bury_v with_o christ_n but_o he_o speak_v rather_o of_o the_o first_o part_n of_o our_o sanctification_n the_o mortification_n of_o the_o old_a man_n in_o we_o and_o its_o burial_n that_o be_v the_o bring_n of_o it_o to_o nought_o forasmuch_o as_o by_o christ_n death_n and_o burial_n our_o old_a man_n the_o body_n of_o sin_n have_v be_v destroy_v and_o suffer_v a_o death_n and_o burial_n like_v to_o christ_n that_o as_o his_o flesh_n after_o it_o be_v deprive_v of_o life_n be_v lay_v in_o the_o grave_a in_o like_a manner_n the_o old_a man_n of_o true_a believer_n have_v be_v slay_v be_v inter_v it_o be_v in_o he_o and_o with_o he_o that_o we_o have_v be_v bury_v in_o this_o sort_n if_o he_o have_v not_o suffer_v the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o for_o our_o salvation_n have_v not_o i_o say_v his_o death_n and_o holy_a sepulchre_n derive_v unto_o we_o a_o image_n and_o a_o copy_n of_o his_o burial_n destroy_v and_o bury_v by_o the_o virtue_n and_o merit_n thereof_o our_o old_a man_n and_o bring_v on_o he_o a_o mystical_a death_n and_o burial_n sin_n will_v still_o live_v and_o reign_v in_o we_o in_o like_a manner_n the_o latter_a clause_n of_o my_o text_n must_v be_v so_o understand_v viz._n that_o christ_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o resurrection_n do_v work_v and_o produce_v one_o in_o we_o which_o have_v resemblance_n and_o analogy_n with_o his_o own_o viz._n a_o resurrection_n to_o a_o new_a spiritual_a and_o evangelical_n life_n instead_o of_o that_o vile_a and_o wretched_a life_n which_o we_o have_v by_o nature_n without_o which_o we_o have_v lie_v still_o dead_a and_o in_o bondage_n to_o sin_n for_o that_o which_o form_v in_o we_o the_o new_a man_n and_o give_v we_o the_o courage_n to_o renounce_v the_o world_n that_o we_o may_v live_v above_o the_o world_n be_v the_o persuasion_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n together_o with_o the_o hope_n of_o a_o blissful_a glorious_a immortality_n of_o which_o he_o give_v we_o assurance_n from_o his_o have_v take_v possession_n of_o the_o

to_o we_o in_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n indeed_o all_o the_o mean_n and_o ordinance_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v and_o enjoin_v we_o to_o make_v use_n of_o in_o religion_n have_v no_o

here_o only_o of_o baptism_n the_o first_o and_o proper_a sacrament_n or_o mean_n of_o regeneration_n so_o treat_v of_o the_o same_o subject_a elsewhere_o 6.3_o elsewhere_o rom._n 6.3_o where_o he_o express_v himself_o in_o like_a manner_n which_o shall_v confute_v their_o folly_n who_o withstand_v one_o of_o the_o old_a sacrament_n of_o moses_n its_o give_a place_n to_o this_o of_o christ_n institution_n so_o productive_a of_o this_o double_a effect_n and_o which_o be_v also_o represent_v as_o our_o apostle_n here_o intimate_v and_o as_o i_o have_v already_o observe_v in_o the_o

such_o in_o who_o the_o old_a man_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v bury_v that_o he_o live_v and_o reign_v with_o absolute_a power_n and_o the_o new_a man_n have_v neither_o life_n nor_o action_n at_o all_o it_o may_v not_o be_v impute_v to_o christ_n who_o always_o accompany_v his_o sacrament_n with_o his_o save_a virtue_n but_o unto_o their_o own_o unbelief_n who_o do_v wretched_o repel_v the_o operation_n of_o the_o grace_n god_n and_o obstruct_v the_o effect_n which_o he_o will_v have_v assure_o produce_v in_o they_o if_o their_o unworthiness_n have_v not_o frustrate_v his_o efficacy_n towards_o they_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v add_v through_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o operation_n of_o god_n a_o evident_a token_n that_o the_o sacrament_n do_v mortify_v sin_n in_o we_o and_o raise_v we_o to_o holiness_n according_a to_o the_o faith_n it_o meet_v with_o in_o we_o now_o how_o happy_a shall_v we_o be_v if_o we_o have_v these_o thing_n write_v and_o engrave_v in_o deep_a letter_n on_o our_o heart_n if_o our_o action_n do_v justify_v our_o profession_n that_o we_o be_v bury_v and_o rise_v again_o with_o christ_n in_o baptism_n by_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o operation_n of_o

of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n the_o flesh_n live_v and_o exercise_v great_a tyranny_n in_o we_o the_o new_a man_n that_o breathe_v nothing_o but_o heaven_n and_o love_v nothing_o but_o
