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

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 he_o save_v we_o by_o the_o wash_n of_o regeneration_n and_o the_o renew_n if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o he_o shed_v on_o we_o abundant_o through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o saviour_n it_o be_v 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 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

that_o be_v command_v in_o the_o law_n but_o in_o those_o that_o he_o perform_v for_o our_o redemption_n 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 law_n he_o be_v our_o pattern_n to_o be_v imitate_v in_o the_o same_o kind_n as_o christ_n be_v gracious_a to_o the_o poor_a so_o shall_v we_o to_o they_o that_o be_v poor_a and_o in_o distress_n in_o the_o same_o kind_n as_o he_o be_v temperate_a so_o may_v we_o imitate_v he_o in_o the_o

still_o christ_n be_v our_o pattern_n as_o saint_n austin_n say_v christ_n come_v not_o only_o to_o help_v we_o and_o to_o perform_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v but_o he_o

mediatorious_a ous_a in_o the_o former_a we_o may_v imitate_v he_o in_o the_o same_o kind_n though_o we_o can_v in_o the_o same_o degree_n in_o the_o latter_a we_o can_v imitate_v he_o in_o the_o

go_v as_o he_o die_v for_o sin_n so_o we_o must_v die_v to_o sin_n as_o he_o rise_v from_o the_o grave_n so_o we_o must_v rise_v from_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n to_o newness_n of_o life_n so_o christ_n be_v the_o exemplary_a cause_n of_o our_o death_n to_o sin_n and_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n three_o christ_n be_v the_o moral_a move_a persuade_v cause_n of_o both_o that_o the_o apostle_n will_v timothy_n to_o remember_v 2_o tim._n 2.8_o remember_v say_v he_o that_o jesus_n christ_n of_o the_o seed_n of_o david_n be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a according_a to_o my_o gospel_n he_o

to_o holiness_n for_o it_o make_v man_n conclude_v &_o argue_v with_o themselves_o what_o do_v christ_n lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o we_o and_o shall_v not_o we_o lay_v down_o our_o lust_n for_o he_o do_v christ_n arise_v again_o the_o three_o day_n from_o the_o grave_a and_o shall_v not_o we_o rise_v from_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n to_o newness_n of_o life_n do_v we_o profess_v ourselves_o to_o be_v member_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o endeavour_v conformity_n with_o our_o head_n christ_n shall_v we_o be_v like_o the_o

first_o thing_n we_o must_v labour_v for_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o grievousnesse_n of_o they_o to_o feel_v how_o they_o burden_n we_o both_o in_o spiritual_a duty_n and_o other_o how_o

quality_n 2._o in_o quality_n so_o also_o in_o quality_n when_o they_o hunt_v for_o too_o delicious_a meat_n it_o be_v the_o fault_n general_o of_o nice_a curious_a dame_n they_o esteem_v not_o meat_n so_o much_o by_o the_o taste_n as_o by_o the_o daintiness_n and_o variety_n not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o poet_n say_v by_o the_o taste_n as_o by_o the_o price_n when_o thing_n be_v common_a they_o care_v not_o for_o they_o this_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o gluttony_n in_o luke_n 16._o the_o rich_a man_n that_o fare_v delicious_o every_o day_n he_o be_v call_v a_o glutton_n why_o it_o appear_v not_o by_o the_o text_n that_o he_o over_o burden_a his_o stomach_n that_o he_o do_v eat_v more_o than_o he_o can_v digest_v but_o because_o he_o fare_v delicious_o every_o day_n he_o hunt_v too_o curious_o and_o too_o anxious_o after_o dainty_a fare_n this_o make_v he_o a_o glutton_n so_o we_o commit_v gluttony_n in_o our_o immoderate_a and_o too_o careful_a seek_v for_o dainty_a meat_n when_o we_o be_v
