what_o god_n aim_v at_o by_o he_o because_o god_n create_v man_n after_o the_o most_o perfect_a manner_n from_o all_o which_o in_o then_o follow_v that_o the_o sinner_n can_v be_v make_v perfect_a in_o another_o way_n but_o by_o receive_v again_o that_o very_a image_n of_o god_n which_o he_o lose_v by_o sin_n §_o 64._o now_o that_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o sinner_n consist_v in_o the_o recover_n of_o this_o image_n of_o god_n the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v so_o abundant_o testify_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o hold_v forth_o unto_o we_o more_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n than_o that_o our_o salvation_n do_v consist_v in_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o image_n of_o god_n again_o as_o be_v manifest_a from_o the_o place_n by_o we_o already_o cite_v §_o 51.53_o 54_o 55._o and_o of_o which_o eph._n 4._o and_o colos_n 3._o etc._n etc._n do_v treat_v §_o 65._o but_o now_o although_o we_o have_v discover_v that_o the_o sinner_n can_v attain_v unto_o salvation_n unless_o he_o receive_v again_o the_o image_n of_o god_n yet_o this_o difficulty_n still_o remain_v in_o the_o case_n to_o find_v out_o how_o and_o by_o what_o mean_v the_o sinner_n can_v recover_v this_o image_n of_o god_n again_o §_o 66._o it_o be_v then_o a_o universal_a truth_n in_o nature_n that_o nothing_o can_v be_v meliorate_v nor_o unite_v with_o another_o thing_n so_o as_o to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n thereby_o except_o there_o be_v a_o previous_a suffering_n die_a or_o mortification_n to_o wit_n such_o a_o suffering_n death_n or_o mortification_n as_o tend_v to_o melioration_n not_o such_o a_o death_n as_o tend_v to_o putrefaction_n for_o there_o be_v these_o two_o sort_n of_o death_n as_o for_o example_n the_o seed_n pass_v through_o a_o death_n in_o order_n to_o the_o bring_v forth_o of_o fruit_n and_o sometime_o it_o die_v so_o that_o it_o remain_v in_o putrefaction_n out_o of_o which_o no_o new_a seed_n but_o worm_n be_v generate_v now_o that_o such_o a_o die_a or_o mortification_n must_v go_v before_o the_o union_n be_v manifest_a in_o tree_n who_o twig_n or_o bud_n when_o they_o be_v ingraft_v or_o inoculate_v they_o die_v as_o it_o be_v and_o wither_v before_o they_o can_v unite_v with_o the_o tree_n in_o like_a manner_n can_v no_o seed_n unite_v with_o the_o earth_n so_o as_o to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unless_o it_o first_o die_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o our_o saviour_n say_v with_o respect_n to_o the_o profit_n which_o be_v to_o accrue_v unto_o sinner_n by_o his_o death_n john_n 12.24_o except_o a_o grain_n of_o wheat_n fall_v into_o the_o ground_n and_o die_v it_o abide_v alone_o that_o be_v it_o can_v then_o be_v unite_v with_o the_o earth_n to_o multiply_v but_o if_o it_o die_v it_o bring_v forth_o much_o fruit_n and_o 1_o cor._n 15.36_o that_o which_o thou_o sowe_v be_v not_o quicken_v except_o it_o die_v §_o 67._o now_o to_o bring_v this_o universal_a truth_n home_o unto_o fall_v man_n how_o he_o fall_v we_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o scripture_n do_v express_o teach_v we_o that_o no_o man_n canattain_v to_o the_o image_n of_o god_n again_o so_o as_o to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n but_o by_o a_o die_a as_o our_o saviour_n testify_v john_n 12.24_o under_o the_o similitude_n of_o a_o grain_n of_o wheat_n not_o only_o apply_v this_o unto_o himself_o that_o he_o must_v die_v in_o order_n to_o acquire_v unto_o himself_o a_o church_n or_o people_n but_o he_o also_o apply_v the_o same_o to_o they_o which_o will_v be_v his_o his_o follower_n for_o verse_n 25.26_o our_o saviour_n say_v he_o that_o love_v his_o life_n shall_v loose_v it_o that_o be_v he_o that_o fear_v to_o follow_v i_o for_o fear_n of_o death_n he_o shall_v die_v without_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n and_o he_o that_o hate_v his_o life_n in_o this_o world_n shall_v keep_v it_o unto_o life_n eternal_a that_o be_v he_o that_o fear_v not_o death_n but_o will_v cheerful_o

christ_n add_v if_o any_o man_n will_v serve_v i_o let_v he_o follow_v i_o that_o be_v let_v he_o give_v himself_o cheerful_o up_o unto_o the_o death_n as_o i_o do_v now_o give_v myself_o up_o unto_o it_o and_o very_o express_o say_v the_o apostle_n col._n 3.3_o concern_v the_o faithful_a you_o be_v dead_a and_o your_o life_n be_v hide_v with_o christ_n in_o god_n and_o v._o 5._o mortify_v therefore_o your_o member_n which_o be_v upon_o earth_n etc._n etc._n now_o because_o suffer_v and_o death_n must_v go_v before_o glorification_n the_o apostle_n say_v act._n 14.22_o that_o we_o must_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n through_o much_o tribulation_n moreover_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o manner_n of_o speech_n use_v by_o the_o apostle_n concern_v the_o manner_n how_o the_o sinner_n recover_v the_o image_n or_o spirit_n of_o god_n again_o how_o emphatical_o do_v they_o represent_v unto_o we_o that_o no_o sinner_n can_v attain_v unto_o any_o fellowship_n with_o the_o spirit_n except_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v again_o he_o can_v see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n that_o be_v if_o a_o man_n be_v not_o bear_v of_o water_n and_o of_o the_o spirit_n as_o our_o saviour_n there_o further_o declare_v verse_n 5._o now_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o no_o body_n can_v be_v bear_v again_o except_o he_o first_o die_v how_o this_o regeneration_n be_v to_o be_v

which_o be_v 1_o peter_n 1.3_o call_v 〈◊〉_d be_v bear_v again_o through_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n from_o the_o dead_a now_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o we_o be_v bear_v again_o by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n we_o must_v first_o have_v be_v dead_a wherefore_o from_o all_o this_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o no_o man_n can_v recover_v the_o image_n of_o god_n again_o but_o through_o suffer_v and_o death_n §_o 68_o but_o now_o for_o as_o much_o as_o no_o sinner_n have_v any_o the_o least_o power_n to_o give_v unto_o himself_o salvation_n according_a to_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n a_o that_o every_o one_o find_v in_o his_o own_o experience_n that_o he_o be_v nncapable_a of_o cofer_v upon_o himself_o any_o perfection_n it_o follow_v that_o that_o be_v which_o restore_v he_o must_v be_v more_o perfect_a than_o the_o sinner_n himself_o and_o yet_o such_o as_o can_v unite_v and_o have_v fellowship_n with_o man_n it_o must_v be_v more_o perfect_a than_o the_o sinner_n because_o if_o he_o have_v no_o great_a perfection_n than_o he_o he_o can_v not_o impart_v unto_o the_o sinner_n that_o which_o he_o himself_o shall_v want_v it_o must_v also_o be_v such_o as_o can_v be_v unite_v and_o have_v fellowship_n with_o man_n because_o that_o which_o can_v be_v unite_v or_o have_v fellowship_n with_o another_o thing_n can_v make_v the_o thing_n better_o or_o change_v its_o state_n for_o the_o better_a because_o all_o melioration_n do_v require_v the_o most_o close_a union_n that_o be_v a_o spiritual_a union_n with_o the_o life_n of_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v change_v for_o the_o life_n be_v the_o worker_n of_o all_o our_o action_n and_o the_o former_a of_o its_o own_o body_n as_o be_v prove_v in_o the_o observation_n of_o bar._n van_n helmont_n concern_v man_n §_o 34_o 35_o 36_o 37._o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o this_o union_n be_v with_o the_o life_n itself_o that_o so_o the_o life_n may_v come_v to_o change_v its_o former_a work_n §_o 69._o moreover_o this_o be_v that_o shall_v thus_o change_v the_o sinner_n must_v not_o only_o be_v perfect_a than_o he_o but_o it_o must_v also_o be_v so_o perfect_a that_o it_o can_v give_v perfection_n unto_o other_o being_n or_o else_o it_o will_v be_v of_o no_o use_n to_o the_o sinner_n as_o for_o example_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o gold_n have_v more_o perfection_n in_o it_o than_o iron_n have_v but_o gold_n can_v therefore_o communicate_v its_o perfection_n to_o the_o iron_n while_o itself_o remain_v mere_a natural_a gold_n because_o it_o

they_o have_v more_o perfection_n than_o the_o sinner_n yet_o they_o can_v communicate_v their_o perfection_n to_o the_o sinner_n because_o they_o possess_v no_o more_o perfection_n than_o just_o
