spirit_n of_o grace_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v dead_a civil_o second_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v dead_a natural_o too_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o howsoever_o there_o be_v some_o life_n leave_v in_o it_o yet_o it_o have_v its_o death_n wound_n &_o that_o will_v cause_v it_o to_o die_v at_o the_o last_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o it_o be_v in_o the_o wane_n and_o languish_v away_o so_o that_o as_o a_o man_n that_o have_v receive_v a_o mortal_a wound_n he_o be_v a_o dead_a man_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o that_o wound_n will_v bring_v death_n at_o the_o last_o so_o we_o may_v say_v though_o sin_n have_v some_o life_n in_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v dead_a natural_o too_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n it_o have_v receive_v its_o death_n blow_n that_o it_o will_v never_o recover_v and_o so_o at_o the_o last_o it_o will_v altogether_o die_v as_o sin_n be_v thus_o say_v to_o be_v dead_a in_o we_o so_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n in_o a_o three_o sell_v respect_n you_o know_v death_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n the_o separation_n of_o that_o that_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o life_n now_o look_v what_o the_o soul_n be_v to_o the_o body_n the_o same_o be_v sin_n in_o a_o sort_n in_o a_o natural_a unregenerate_a man_n he_o live_v not_o so_o much_o by_o his_o soul_n as_o by_o his_o sin_n his_o sin_n be_v the_o life_n of_o his_o life_n it_o be_v that_o that_o enact_v and_o enlivens_fw-la and_o animate_v he_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v the_o body_n of_o sin_n why_o because_o sin_n be_v in_o a_o unregenerate_a man_n body_n as_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o the_o body_n it_o give_v life_n to_o it_o a_o natural_a man_n esteem_v sin_n as_o his_o soul_n and_o life_n so_o the_o member_n of_o his_o body_n be_v call_v the_o member_n of_o sin_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o look_v as_o in_o nature_n the_o member_n exercise_v their_o function_n by_o the_o influence_n and_o virtue_n of_o the_o soul_n so_o a_o unregenerate_a man_n in_o the_o corrupt_a estate_n of_o deprave_a nature_n such_o a_o man_n his_o member_n work_v as_o they_o be_v enable_v and_o command_v by_o sin_n that_o dwell_v in_o he_o second_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n in_o respect_n of_o those_o antecedent_n convulsion_n and_o pang_n that_o go_v before_o death_n ordinary_o there_o be_v no_o death_n without_o pang_n and_o convulsion_n now_o as_o it_o be_v in_o natural_a death_n so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o there_o be_v no_o part_n of_o crucify_a and_o mortify_v of_o sin_n without_o pain_n and_o dolour_n therefore_o it_o be_v just_o call_v death_n the_o mortify_n of_o sin_n we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n when_o we_o mortify_v sin_n because_o it_o be_v with_o so_o much_o pain_n with_o convulsion_n and_o anguish_n so_o say_v peter_n martyr_n the_o part_n of_o a_o natural_a man_n the_o forego_n of_o his_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o without_o much_o torment_n and_o anguish_n so_o in_o that_o respect_n it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o death_n in_o regard_n of_o those_o convulsion_n and_o pang_n that_o usual_o be_v the_o forerunner_n and_o harbinger_n of_o death_n three_o we_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n in_o another_o respect_n for_o as_o a_o dead_a servant_n be_v no_o long_o at_o the_o command_n of_o his_o master_n let_v he_o command_v what_o he_o will_v he_o hear_v he_o not_o he_o do_v nothing_o so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o man_n that_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n let_v sin_n command_v what_o it_o will_v he_o hear_v not_o he_o listen_v not_o to_o the_o suggestion_n he_o practise_v not_o the_o command_n of_o sin_n he_o be_v as_o a_o dead_a man_n to_o sin_n as_o a_o dead_a man_n perform_v not_o the_o office_n of_o the_o live_n a_o dead_a servant_n do_v not_o obey_v the_o command_n of_o his_o master_n so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o man_n that_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n let_v this_o be_v sufficient_a to_o be_v speak_v for_o the_o meaning_n of_o that_o phrase_n if_o we_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n that_o be_v as_o christ_n die_v for_o sin_n second_o say_v the_o apostle_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 there_o be_v a_o twofold_a life_n natural_a spiritual_a the_o natural_a life_n be_v not_o here_o mean_v but_o the_o spiritual_a life_n that_o be_v principal_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n and_o consequent_o the_o life_n of_o glory_n the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n &_o glory_n be_v not_o two_o life_n but_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o life_n they_o differ_v only_o in_o degree_n look_v as_o the_o life_n of_o the_o child_n in_o the_o womb_n be_v the_o same_o life_n that_o the_o child_n enjoy_v when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v bear_v and_o bring_v to_o light_v in_o the_o world_n so_o the_o life_n of_o a_o christian_a in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n the_o same_o that_o he_o live_v in_o heaven_n only_o i_o say_v it_o differ_v in_o degree_n for_o look_v as_o grace_n be_v nothing_o but_o glory_n begin_v so_o glory_n be_v nothing_o but_o grace_n consummate_v but_o if_o he_o mean_v the_o life_n of_o grace_n quest_n why_o do_v the_o apostle_n say_v shall_v live_v if_o we_o be_v bear_v with_o christ_n we_o shall_v live_v with_o he_o i_o answer_v brief_o for_o two_o reason_n first_o answ_n to_o denote_v the_o time_n when_o we_o shall_v enjoy_v this_o life_n perfect_o that_o shall_v be_v hereafter_o when_o this_o natural_a life_n shall_v have_v a_o end_n than_o we_o shall_v enjoy_v that_o spiritual_a life_n perfect_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n reflect_v on_o that_o life_n respective_o to_o that_o time_n and_o say_v we_o shall_v live_v the_o life_n of_o grace_n because_o than_o we_o shall_v enjoy_v this_o life_n perfect_o whereas_o here_o we_o have_v it_o but_o in_o some_o measure_n and_o degree_n with_o interruption_n second_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o future_a we_o shall_v live_v to_o affirm_v the_o perpetuity_n of_o this_o life_n this_o life_n be_v not_o like_o the_o life_n of_o nature_n a_o fade_a and_o perish_v life_n of_o its_o own_o nature_n it_o be_v the_o observation_n of_o tolet_n the_o jesuite_n upon_o the_o place_n say_v he_o though_o the_o apostle_n mean_v the_o life_n of_o grace_n as_o we_o see_v by_o the_o 11._o verse_n yet_o he_o use_v the_o

this_o that_o death_n to_o sin_n indeed_o deface_v the_o image_n of_o sin_n but_o it_o do_v not_o renew_v in_o we_o the_o image_n of_o god_n now_o it_o be_v the_o image_n of_o god_n that_o make_v we_o

and_o dispose_v and_o make_v we_o fit_a and_o capable_a of_o it_o for_o without_o holiness_n no_o man_n shall_v see_v god_n flesh_n and_o blood_n shall_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o

therefore_o beside_o our_o death_n with_o christ_n there_o be_v require_v our_o life_n with_o christ_n that_o so_o beside_o the_o deface_a of_o satan_n image_n we_o may_v have_v the_o image_n of_o

the_o three_o argument_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o opposition_n between_o the_o life_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n philosophy_n tell_v we_o that_o in_o those_o opposite_n that_o be_v

health_n and_o sickness_n be_v immediate_a object_n a_o man_n must_v either_o be_v sick_a or_o well_o now_o that_o which_o remove_v sickness_n restore_v health_n that_o that_o expel_v darkness_n out_o of_o the_o air_n it_o bring_v light_a now_o the_o life_n of_o sin_n and_o grace_n be_v thus_o opposite_a that_o that_o take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o sin_n then_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n bring_v with_o it_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n if_o christ_n mortify_v sin_n in_o we_o and_o take_v away_o the_o life_n and_o vigour_n of_o sin_n christ_n of_o necessity_n must_v bring_v into_o the_o same_o

bring_v in_o health_n this_o shall_v suffice_v for_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o point_n i_o come_v to_o make_v use_n of_o it_o use_v if_o we_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n we_o shall_v also_o live_v with_o he_o those_o that_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n to_o sin_n as_o christ_n die_v for_o sin_n those_o shall_v live_v the_o life_n of_o grace_n if_o it_o be_v so_o if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o

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

likewise_o reckon_v you_o yourselves_o dead_a to_o sin_n but_o alive_a to_o god_n though_o secondary_o and_o by_o consequent_a i_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o the_o apostle_n mean_v live_v with_o god_n in_o life_n eternal_a and_o the_o reason_n be_v as_o i_o show_v before_o that_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o life_n of_o glory_n it_o be_v not_o in_o nature_n but_o in_o degree_n grace_n be_v glory_n begin_v and_o glory_n be_v nothing_o but_o grace_v perfect_v as_o the_o child_n in_o the_o womb_n have_v the_o same_o life_n that_o it_o enjoy_v in_o the_o world_n only_o than_o it_o be_v in_o a_o further_a degree_n so_o the_o life_n that_o a_o christian_n enjoy_v in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v the_o same_o life_n in_o nature_n though_o it_o differ_v in_o

three_o reason_n first_o to_o show_v the_o order_n and_o method_n between_o this_o life_n and_o the_o former_a death_n because_o this_o life_n in_o nature_n though_o not_o in_o time_n be_v after_o

nature_n be_v after_o the_o dispel_v of_o darkness_n second_o the_o apostle_n use_v the_o future_a tense_n because_o though_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n be_v here_o begin_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o consummate_v till_o afterward_o in_o which_o respect_n the_o apostle_n say_v we_o believe_v that_o we_o shall_v live_v with_o he_o he_o make_v this_o life_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o compliment_n and_o consummation_n a_o act_n of_o faith_n according_a to_o that_o in_o the_o creed_n i_o believe_v the_o life_n everlasting_a three_o because_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n do_v not_o fade_v as_o the_o natural_a life_n perrish_v but_o it_o be_v a_o endure_a life_n as_o christ_n be_v once_o raise_v he_o die_v no_o more_o verse_n 9_o so_o every_o member_n of_o christ_n he_o that_o be_v once_o

from_o christ_n love_n to_o we_o so_o say_v the_o apostle_n eph._n 5.2_o 5.2_o eph._n 5.2_o let_v we_o love_v one_o another_o as_o christ_n have_v love_v we_o and_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o

he_o love_v we_o and_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o we_o second_o as_o it_o be_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n to_o give_v himself_o so_o it_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o give_v christ_n as_o christ_n say_v it_o of_o himself_o so_o he_o speak_v it_o likewise_o of_o his_o father_n 3.16_o joh._n 3.16_o joh._n 3.16_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v

the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n but_o when_o we_o be_v enemy_n 113._o s._n aug._n psal_n 113._o so_o say_v s._n austin_n upon_o psal_n 110._o god_n love_v we_o when_o he_o hate_v we_o he_o love_v we_o

three_o as_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o so_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n require_v that_o christ_n shall_v die_v for_o god_n have_v no_o purpose_n to_o redeem_v man_n and_o

to_o take_v our_o burden_n use_v 1_o and_o here_o when_o we_o consider_v the_o infinite_a wisdom_n of_o god_n devise_v so_o to_o fit_v a_o mean_n for_o the_o reconcile_n the_o mercy_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n in_o our_o salvation_n and_o redemption_n we_o have_v cause_n to_o cry_v out_o with_o the_o apostle_n oh_o the_o deepness_n and_o riches_n of_o the_o knowledge_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n

the_o heathen_n themselves_o discover_v by_o the_o dark_a and_o dim_a light_n of_o reason_n the_o heathen_a can_v discern_v it_o in_o the_o creation_n but_o for_o the_o print_n of_o his_o footstep_n

2.4_o say_v the_o apostle_n no_o man_n that_o war_v entangle_v himself_o with_o the_o affair_n of_o this_o life_n mark_v the_o apostle_n compare_v covetousness_n to_o a_o snare_n as_o when_o a_o

in_o three_o respect_n first_o there_o be_v danger_n of_o fall_v into_o those_o sin_n whereof_o we_o have_v often_o occasion_n frequent_o to_o commit_v occasion_n because_o of_o daily_a occasion_n now_o we_o daily_o eat_v and_o drink_v we_o daily_o provide_v for_o this_o life_n we_o have_v continual_o every_o day_n occasion_n to_o eat_v to_o surfeit_v to_o drink_v to_o drunkenness_n to_o provide_v to_o covetousness_n there_o be_v more_o danger_n of_o fall_v into_o these_o sin_n because_o the_o occasion_n and_o matter_n of_o they_o be_v so_o frequent_a it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o other_o sin_n a_o thief_n or_o a_o adulterer_n have_v not_o always_o a_o opportunity_n at_o least_o not_o daily_a oppportunitie_n to_o commit_v those_o sin_n but_o for_o these_o there_o be_v

a_o great_a deal_n of_o danger_n of_o fall_v into_o they_o because_o they_o be_v place_v upon_o the_o confine_n and_o border_n of_o lawful_a thing_n for_o oft_o time_n through_o our_o blindness_n and_o misguide_a affection_n that_o which_o be_v lawful_a impose_v upon_o we_o and_o carry_v we_o to_o that_o which_o be_v unlawful_a what_o say_v the_o epicure_n be_v it_o not_o lawful_a to_o enjoy_v god_n creature_n liberal_o therefore_o he_o will_v gorge_v himself_o and_o give_v way_n to_o his_o greedy_a sensual_a appetite_n what_o say_v the_o drunkard_n have_v not_o god_n ordain_v wine_n to_o

thing_n honest_a before_o god_n and_o man_n therefore_o he_o may_v make_v money_n his_o god_n and_o devote_v himself_o to_o the_o world_n thus_o that_o which_o be_v lawful_a impose_v on_o we_o and_o carry_v we_o to_o that_o which_o be_v unlawful_a now_o surfeit_v border_n upon_o that_o which_o be_v lawful_a it_o be_v lawful_a to_o eat_v but_o to_o go_v beyond_o the_o due_a bound_n it_o be_v

the_o measure_n either_o unseasonable_a for_o the_o time_n or_o immoderate_a than_o we_o become_v guilty_a of_o covetousness_n these_o thing_n border_n on_o thing_n that_o be_v lawful_a therefore_o themselves_o be_v most_o dangerous_a nature_n they_o have_v affinity_n with_o nature_n three_o there_o be_v most_o danger_n of_o fall_v into_o those_o sin_n which_o have_v the_o great_a affinity_n and_o cognition_n with_o our_o nature_n those_o that_o have_v much_o nature_n in_o they_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o fall_v into_o they_o it_o be_v natural_a for_o we_o to_o eat_v and_o to_o drink_v and_o to_o provide_v for_o this_o life_n nature_n prompt_v we_o to_o this_o now_o the_o motion_n of_o nature_n especial_o of_o corrupt_a nature_n be_v vehement_a and_o often_o transport_v we_o from_o that_o which_o be_v natural_a to_o the_o do_v of_o that_o which_o be_v unnatural_a the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v much_o in_o they_o that_o be_v natural_a it_o be_v natural_a to_o eat_v and_o to_o drink_v and_o to_o provide_v for_o this_o life_n therefore_o from_o thence_o we_o be_v carry_v oft_o time_n by_o the_o violent_a motion_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n to_o that_o which_o be_v

of_o ourselves_o lumpish_a and_o heavy_a enough_o to_o perform_v spiritual_a duty_n we_o need_v not_o make_v ourselves_o more_o heavy_a we_o bring_v into_o the_o world_n burden_n enough_o to_o press_v
