old_a protestant_a doctrine_n of_o mortification_n teach_v man_n free_o to_o say_v amen_o to_o this_o prayer_n sect_n ix_o nevertheless_o i_o live_v every_o true_a believer_n be_v as_o well_o quicken_v with_o christ_n as_o crucify_v with_o he_o i_o be_o crucify_v with_o christ_n nevertheless_o i_o live_v a_o so_o that_o as_o the_o humanity_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o first_o example_n and_o pattern_n to_o which_o the_o whole_a church_n be_v conform_v be_v deprive_v of_o its_o own_o proper_a life_n through_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n that_o dwell_v in_o it_o have_v instead_o thereof_o the_o life_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n communicate_v to_o it_o and_o that_o son_n of_o man_n have_v part_v with_o his_o own_o proper_a life_n out_o of_o himself_o do_v yet_o true_o live_v in_o the_o same_o soul_n and_o body_n the_o life_n of_o the_o eternal_a word_n and_o be_v so_o crucify_v that_o nevertheless_o he_o live_v so_o also_o it_o be_v with_o all_o christian_n and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v out_o of_o his_o own_o experience_n i_o be_o crucify_v with_o christ_n nevertheless_o i_o live_v as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v i_o be_o not_o crucify_v to_o death_n but_o to_o life_n my_o crucify_a with_o christ_n be_v my_o quicken_n for_o by_o this_o mean_n i_o be_o so_o kill_v that_o i_o live_v the_o more_o yea_o now_o only_o i_o do_v true_o live_v be_v former_o dead_a my_o own_o proper_a life_n in_o myself_o be_v my_o death_n but_o christ_n life_n in_o i_o be_v my_o true_a life_n for_o i_o be_v dead_a with_o the_o worst_a death_n to_o wit_n in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n but_o now_o i_o live_v in_o the_o best_a life_n even_o the_o life_n of_o righteousness_n b_o whence_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o live_a word_n and_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o a_o christian_a do_v so_o kill_v the_o life_n of_o his_o flesh_n which_o be_v a_o life_n of_o sin_n and_o sorrow_n and_o darkness_n and_o death_n that_o at_o the_o same_o time_n they_o communicate_v to_o the_o same_o man_n to_o the_o same_o soul_n and_o body_n a_o true_a and_o spiritual_a and_o holy_a and_o heavenly_a and_o eternal_a life_n c_z for_o no_o man_n be_v crucify_v with_o christ_n but_o he_o also_o live_v with_o he_o see_v the_o same_o word_n that_o kill_v our_o life_n communicate_v christ_n and_o christ_n crucify_v we_o with_o himself_o not_o that_o he_o may_v kill_v we_o but_o that_o he_o may_v quicken_v we_o and_o our_o quicken_n be_v the_o end_n of_o our_o crucify_a and_o our_o crucify_a be_v the_o way_n to_o our_o quicken_n d_o indeed_o the_o kill_n of_o the_o flesh_n by_o the_o sword_n or_o famine_n or_o the_o law_n or_o any_o way_n else_o be_v death_n indeed_o or_o death_n unto_o death_n but_o the_o kill_n of_o the_o flesh_n by_o the_o live_a word_n and_o spirit_n which_o be_v its_o crucify_a with_o christ_n be_v death_n unto_o life_n and_o here_o again_o we_o may_v note_v this_o also_o that_o the_o true_a life_n of_o a_o christian_a begin_v from_o his_o crucify_a and_o die_v with_o christ_n and_o also_o the_o true_a crucify_a and_o die_v of_o a_o christian_a begin_v from_o his_o life_n in_o christ_n for_o both_o these_o inseparable_o go_v together_o to_o wit_n our_o crucify_a and_o our_o quicken_n with_o christ_n but_o our_o crucify_a with_o christ_n be_v name_v first_o in_o order_n because_o it_o be_v first_o in_o manifestation_n see_v after_o we_o believe_v christ_n death_n be_v first_o manifest_v in_o we_o before_o christ_n life_n though_o christ_n life_n be_v first_o in_o we_o in_o order_n of_o nature_n the_o crucify_a of_o our_o flesh_n flow_v from_o the_o life_n of_o his_o spirit_n this_o then_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o this_o matter_n e_z that_o the_o live_a word_n dwell_v in_o we_o destroy_v the_o proper_a life_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o take_v up_o the_o flesh_n into_o the_o life_n of_o itself_o and_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o a_o man_n in_o union_n with_o christ_n have_v his_o own_o life_n destroy_v out_o of_o he_o and_o christ_n own_o life_n communicate_v to_o he_o so_o that_o in_o the_o true_a believer_n the_o soul_n and_o body_n of_o man_n live_v in_o the_o life_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o be_v do_v in_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n our_o elder_a brother_n and_o thus_o the_o flesh_n live_v a_o life_n that_o be_v not_o of_o the_o flesh_n yea_o thus_o the_o creature_n live_v in_o itself_o the_o life_n of_o god_n for_o as_o that_o eternal_a life_n that_o be_v with_o the_o father_n be_v manifest_v in_o the_o son_n that_o be_v in_o his_o flesh_n or_o humanity_n and_o all_o believer_n have_v

with_o his_o own_o proper_a life_n out_o of_o himself_o 4._o that_o he_o do_v yet_o live_v true_o in_o the_o same_o soul_n and_o body_n the_o life_n of_o the_o eternal_a word_n 5._o that_o the_o

crucify_v that_o nevertheless_o he_o live_v whilst_o he_o be_v crucify_v if_o mr_n dell_n can_v produce_v one_o scripture_n in_o proof_n of_o any_o one_o of_o these_o position_n i_o be_o utter_o

to_o give_v the_o light_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o the_o face_n of_o jesus_n christ_n c_z all_o this_o in_o a_o sound_a sense_n be_v sound_a doctrine_n if_o the_o word_n be_v not_o put_v upon_o new_a tentor_n they_o do_v not_o outreach_v the_o old_a apprehension_n of_o god_n servant_n among_o we_o d_o be_v it_o the_o same_o flesh_n as_o these_o word_n import_v which_o be_v kill_v by_o the_o sword_n or_o famine_n and_o which_o be_v kill_v by_o the_o law_n and_o spirit_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o crucify_v with_o he_o i_o think_v no_o christian_a which_o ever_o look_v into_o the_o scripture_n shall_v upon_o second_o thought_n say_v so_o the_o one_o be_v evident_o the_o material_a body_n and_o the_o other_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v thing_n vast_o different_a e_z that_o christ_n by_o his_o spirit_n in_o believer_n destroy_v the_o proper_a life_n of_o the_o flesh_n understand_v thereby_o the_o old_a man_n be_v very_o true_a but_o than_o it_o be_v utter_o false_a that_o christ_n take_v up_o that_o flesh_n into_o the_o life_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o

comfortable_o and_o confident_o say_v with_o the_o apostle_n it_o be_v no_o more_o i._n sect_n xii_o yet_o not_o i_o and_o here_o i_o must_v needs_o note_v one_o thing_n more_o ere_o i_o conclude_v this_o matter_n and_o that_o be_v this_o note_v a_o that_o a_o believer_n must_v be_v so_o much_o take_v up_o into_o christ_n by_o faith_n that_o as_o christ_n must_v work_v all_o in_o he_o so_o he_o must_v attribute_v all_o christ_n work_n unto_o christ_n and_o none_o to_o himself_o still_o say_v in_o the_o midst_n and_o exercise_n of_o all_o grace_n and_o virtue_n it_o be_v not_o i_o it_o be_v not_o i_o that_o live_v but_o christ_n himself_o that_o live_v in_o i_o this_o life_n of_o grace_n righteousness_n wisdom_n meekness_n goodness_n humility_n patience_n power_n love_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v not_o i_o that_o live_v it_o in_o myself_o but_o christ_n that_o live_v it_o in_o i_o as_o he_o say_v elsewhere_o i_o labour_v more_o abundant_o than_o they_o all_o yet_o not_o i_o but_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o dwell_v in_o i_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o every_o christian_a must_v keep_v his_o rest_n in_o christ_n and_o must_v suffer_v christ_n to_o work_v all_o his_o own_o work_n in_o he_o so_o he_o must_v still_o attribute_v all_o christ_n work_n unto_o christ_n and_o be_v still_o say_v it_o be_v not_o i_o but_o christ_n in_o i_o that_o have_v do_v these_o work_n that_o have_v endure_v and_o overcome_v these_o evil_n b_o and_o thus_o we_o must_v keep_v our_o sabbath_n in_o christ_n as_o christ_n keep_v his_o sabbath_n in_o god_n for_o christ_n be_v so_o take_v up_o into_o god_n and_o fill_v with_o he_o that_o he_o say_v of_o his_o humanity_n i_o can_v do_v nothing_o of_o myself_o and_o again_o the_o father_n within_o i_o he_o do_v the_o work_n and_o again_o the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v be_v not_o i_o but_o his_o that_o send_v i_o and_o so_o christ_n in_o all_o great_a work_n say_v not_o i_o but_o the_o father_n in_o i_o so_o we_o in_o all_o our_o work_n that_o be_v true_o spiritual_a must_v say_v not_o we_o but_o christ_n in_o we_o c_z and_o this_o only_a a_o mortify_a christian_n can_v true_o perform_v for_o other_o will_v be_v attribute_v the_o work_n of_o christ_n to_o themselves_o rather_o than_o to_o christ_n and_o be_v glory_v in_o themselves_o more_o than_o in_o he_o it_o follow_v animadversion_n 12._o a_o a_o agree_v agree_v if_o as_o mr_n dell_n speak_v scripture_n language_n so_o he_o will_v hold_v to_o the_o plain_a scripture_n meaning_n of_o the_o word_n christ_n by_o his_o spirit_n be_v questionless_a the_o fountain_n of_o all_o good_a in_o his_o member_n and_o they_o must_v and_o will_v attribute_v all_o christ_n work_n unto_o christ_n and_o none_o to_o themselves_o still_o say_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o exercise_n of_o all_o grace_n and_o virtue_n it_o be_v not_o i_o but_o christ_n himself_o that_o live_v in_o i_o this_o life_n of_o grace_n b_o though_o this_o be_v beside_o the_o main_a point_n now_o in_o hand_n yet_o i_o will_v see_v a_o scripture_n which_o call_v our_o saviour_n universal_a submission_n to_o his_o father_n will_n or_o if_o mr_n dell_n like_v not_o this_o explication_n then_o to_o use_v his_o own_o word_n his_o be_v take_v up_o into_o god_n and_o fill_v with_o god_n his_o sabbatisme_n or_o sabbath-keeping_a if_o mr_n dell_n do_v here_o glance_v at_o the_o conscionable_a

the_o word_n of_o god_n c_z to_o my_o certain_a knowledge_n very_o many_o who_o find_v no_o sweetness_n in_o mr_n dell_n new_a doctrine_n of_o no_o distinct_a personality_n in_o believer_n from_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v by_o this_o mark_n which_o he_o make_v infallible_a to_o be_v judge_v mortify_a christian_n for_o they_o dare_v not_o attribute_v the_o work_n of_o christ_n unto_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o glory_n not_o in_o themselves_o but_o in_o christ_n acknowledge_v that_o without_o he_o they_o can_v do_v nothing_o and_o joy_v in_o this_o with_o the_o apostle_n that_o they_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n through_o christ_n who_o strengthen_v they_o phil._n 4.13_o sect_n xiii_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o a_o for_o least_o any_o shall_v think_v that_o paul_n have_v a_o new_a habit_n of_o life_n create_v in_o he_o he_o add_v this_o that_o we_o must_v know_v it_o be_v christ_n himself_o within_o he_o that_o be_v his_o life_n even_o that_o word_n of_o life_n and_o son_n of_o god_n that_o make_v the_o world_n and_o no_o create_a habit_n of_o life_n that_o as_o that_o word_n that_o be_v with_o god_n and_o be_v god_n and_o dwell_v in_o the_o humanity_n of_o christ_n be_v that_o very_a life_n of_o his_o humanity_n so_o the_o same_o word_n of_o god_n dwell_v in_o we_o through_o christ_n be_v also_o our_o life_n as_o it_o be_v he_o and_o as_o the_o body_n have_v no_o habit_n of_o life_n in_o itself_o distinct_a and_o apart_o from_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n but_o the_o soul_n itself_o that_o dwell_v in_o the_o body_n be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n and_o when_o the_o soul_n withdraw_v the_o body_n be_v dead_a and_o have_v no_o habit_n of_o life_n in_o itself_o afterward_o so_o the_o life_n of_o a_o christian_a do_v as_o immediate_o flow_v from_o christ_n as_o the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n from_o the_o soul_n and_o if_o christ_n shall_v withdraw_v all_o spiritual_a life_n will_v leave_v he_o and_o the_o second_o death_n will_v swallow_v he_o up_o and_o as_o the_o very_a presence_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o each_o member_n be_v the_o life_n of_o it_o so_o be_v christ_n presence_n in_o all_o his_o member_n their_o true_a and_o very_a life_n wherefore_o say_v paul_n here_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o as_o god_n live_v in_o christ_n and_o as_o the_o soul_n live_v in_o the_o body_n and_o so_o as_o paul_n have_v affirm_v before_o that_o it_o

paul_n but_o paul_n do_v not_o live_v in_o his_o own_o soul_n and_o body_n but_o christ_n himself_o do_v live_v in_o they_o and_o so_o paul_n live_v the_o life_n of_o another_o in_o himself_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o own_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n of_o paul_n be_v but_o a_o temple_n in_o which_o christ_n live_v more_o than_o himself_o as_o the_o humanity_n of_o christ_n be_v but_o a_o temple_n in_o which_o god_n live_v more_o than_o himself_o c_z so_o that_o it_o be_v christ_n himself_o that_o live_v in_o a_o true_a believer_n and_o he_o be_v and_o do_v and_o suffer_v and_o overcome_v all_o in_o he_o d_o now_o that_o we_o may_v not_o mistake_v in_o this_o great_a matter_n we_o must_v right_o understand_v what_o this_o christ_n be_v that_o life_n in_o

use_v 1_o b_o and_o thus_o have_v answer_v this_o objection_n we_o shall_v proceed_v to_o make_v some_o use_n of_o this_o point_n also_o and_o first_o we_o may_v observe_v what_o a_o excellent_a apprehension_n and_o vision_n of_o christ_n true_a faith_n have_v namely_o it_o look_v on_o christ_n not_o as_o a_o severe_a judge_n or_o lawgiver_n but_o as_o one_o who_o have_v true_o love_v we_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o and_o such_o a_o discovery_n and_o vision_n of_o christ_n as_o this_o will_v uphold_v our_o soul_n mighty_o in_o all_o our_o sad_a and_o dark_a hour_n and_o will_v preserve_v we_o that_o we_o be_v not_o swallow_v up_o of_o despair_n yea_o when_o we_o see_v christ_n thus_o nothing_o be_v so_o sweet_a lovely_a and_o desirable_a to_o we_o as_o he_o be_v now_o satan_n and_o our_o evil_a conscience_n will_v ever_o be_v represent_v christ_n otherwise_o to_o we_o to_o make_v he_o dreadful_a and_o terrible_a to_o our_o soul_n as_o luther_n report_v of_o a_o certain_a doctor_n in_o his_o time_n who_o apprehend_v that_o christ_n stand_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n accuse_v he_o for_o his_o sin_n and_o with_o the_o very_a horror_n and_o agony_n of_o this_o apprehension_n he_o pine_v away_o and_o die_v wherefore_o let_v we_o not_o see_v christ_n as_o satan_n and_o our_o evil_a conscience_n represent_v he_o in_o the_o hour_n of_o temptation_n but_o as_o the_o gospel_n hold_v he_o forth_o and_o then_o we_o shall_v see_v he_o to_o be_v such_o a_o one_o who_o have_v love_v we_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o and_o such_o a_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n will_v support_v and_o establish_v we_o again_o in_o the_o worst_a assault_n that_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o hell_n can_v make_v against_o we_o use_v 2._o 2._o we_o may_v learn_v that_o faith_n carry_v nothing_o to_o christ_n of_o its_o own_o but_o it_o go_v empty_a and_o naked_a to_o he_o and_o expect_v to_o receive_v all_o thing_n from_o he_o faith_n say_v christ_n love_v i_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o i_o when_o i_o do_v not_o love_v he_o nor_o give_v myself_o for_o he_o yea_o when_o i_o be_v a_o eenemy_n to_o he_o and_o crucify_a he_o faith_n say_v i_o have_v no_o righteousness_n nor_o wisdom_n nor_o goodness_n nor_o any_o worth_n at_o all_o to_o carry_v to_o christ_n but_o i_o expect_v all_o from_o he_o be_v in_o myself_o poor_a and_o miserable_a and_o blind_a and_o naked_a unbelief_n be_v altogether_o look_v at_o what_o we_o have_v do_v for_o christ_n but_o faith_n be_v altogether_o behold_v what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o we_o unbelief_n will_v fain_o bring_v something_o to_o christ_n for_o which_o christ_n may_v accept_v it_o but_o faith_n bring_v we_o unto_o christ_n destitute_a of_o all_o good_a and_o full_a of_o all_o evil_a and_o even_o then_o cast_v we_o with_o confidence_n and_o assurance_n on_o his_o free_a love_n and_o mercy_n unbelief_n when_o it_o find_v no_o good_a in_o itself_o dare_v not_o go_v to_o christ_n nor_o trust_v in_o he_o but_o faith_n can_v trust_v in_o christ_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o sin_n and_o evil_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o grace_n and_o virtue_n for_o else_o no_o flesh_n can_v be_v save_v and_o thus_o unbelief_n make_v void_a the_o gospel_n but_o faith_n establish_v it_o for_o when_o a_o man_n will_v first_o find_v in_o himself_o a_o love_n to_o christ_n and_o readiness_n to_o give_v himself_o for_o he_o e●re_o he_o can_v conceive_v any_o hope_n that_o christ_n do_v love_v he_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o he_o this_o man_n abolish_v the_o gospel_n and_o make_v christ_n void_a who_o come_v to_o save_v sinner_n and_o to_o justify_v the_o ungodly_a but_o now_o he_o that_o feel_v nothing_o but_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o hell_n in_o himself_o and_o all_o manner_n of_o evil_n and_o enmity_n against_o god_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o can_v go_v to_o christ_n by_o faith_n and_o can_v believe_v that_o christ_n have_v love_v he_o even_o in_o this_o condition_n and_o give_v himself_o for_o he_o this_o be_v the_o man_n that_o magnify_v the_o gospel_n and_o have_v the_o right_a understanding_n and_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n yes_o this_o be_v the_o man_n that_o give_v god_n the_o great_a glory_n that_o any_o creature_n on_o earth_n can_v give_v he_o yea_o great_a than_o all_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n can_v give_v he_o for_o they_o be_v full_a of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o their_o first_o creation_n believe_v the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o they_o but_o for_o man_n that_o have_v lose_v all_o that_o righteousness_n and_o be_v beside_o fill_v with_o all_o manner_n of_o sin_n even_o then_o to_o believe_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n this_o be_v the_o precious_a faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o great_a glorification_n of_o god_n that_o can_v be_v wherefore_o paul_n say_v here_o he_o love_v i_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o i_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v he_o find_v in_o i_o no_o freewill_n or_o natural_a ability_n no_o good_a desire_n affection_n or_o end_n but_o he_o see_v i_o whole_o estray_v from_o god_n wicked_a abominable_a and_o the_o captive_a of_o the_o devil_n and_o yet_o such_o be_v his_o goodness_n that_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o he_o love_v i_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o i_o and_o this_o be_v the_o victory_n and_o triumph_n of_o paul_n faith_n now_o by_o this_o that_o have_v be_v last_o say_v we_o may_v perceive_v that_o every_o man_n natural_o will_v find_v something_o in_o himself_o to_o bring_v to_o christ_n to_o make_v he_o acceptable_a unto_o he_o and_o that_o very_o few_o can_v believe_v that_o he_o love_v we_o whilst_o we_o be_v sinner_n and_o that_o whilst_o we_o be_v yet_o sinner_n christ_n die_v for_o the_o ungodly_a use_v 3_o 3._o in_o that_o christ_n love_v we_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o we_o may_v hereby_o come_v to_o understand_v how_o strong_a mighty_a and_o unconquerable_a our_o sin_n be_v even_o so_o mighty_a that_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o all_o the_o creature_n be_v unable_a and_o unsufficient_a to_o take_v it_o away_o but_o the_o son_n of_o god_n must_v give_v himself_o for_o it_o and_o must_v become_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o it_o or_o it_o have_v remain_v upon_o we_o for_o ever_o wherefore_o let_v we_o know_v that_o our_o freewill_n and_o natural_a abilitise_n and_o work_n and_o duty_n be_v of_o no_o force_n at_o all_o to_o take_v away_o our_o sin_n but_o christ_n must_v do_v that_o by_o give_v himself_o for_o they_o and_o insomuch_o as_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n have_v give_v himself_o for_o they_o we_o rest_v assure_v that_o they_o be_v do_v away_o for_o ever_o and_o that_o none_o can_v lay_v any_o thing_n to_o our_o charge_n if_o do_v we_o believe_v in_o he_o use_v 4._o
