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 natural_a motion_n proceed_v from_o the_o head_n and_o from_o the_o 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

christ_n by_o which_o the_o death_n to_o sin_n and_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n be_v wrought_v in_o we_o likewise_o look_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o oil_n of_o aaron_n the_o oil_n that_o be_v pour_v on_o the_o head_n of_o aaron_n it_o stay_v not_o on_o his_o head_n but_o descend_v to_o the_o skirt_n of_o his_o clothing_n so_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n it_o rest_v not_o on_o christ_n only_o but_o from_o christ_n as_o the_o head_n it_o descend_v upon_o all_o the_o member_n of_o christ_n the_o reason_n thereof_o why_o as_o our_o death_n to_o sin_n so_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n proceed_v from_o christ_n be_v because_o both_o be_v the_o work_n of_o grace_n according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o evangelist_n in_o he_o dwell_v all_o the_o fullness_n of_o grace_n and_o in_o collos_n 2._o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o he_o dwell_v the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n bodily_a for_o the_o better_a and_o full_a open_n of_o the_o point_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o propose_v and_o resolve_v one_o question_n and_o that_o be_v this_o quest_n if_o our_o death_n to_o sin_n and_o our_o life_n of_o grace_n both_o proceed_v from_o christ_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o

christ_n not_o only_o purchase_v a_o right_a to_o heaven_n but_o grace_n &_o holiness_n whereby_o we_o may_v come_v at_o last_o to_o jus_o in_o re_fw-mi for_o as_o i_o say_v before_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n only_o we_o come_v to_o have_v right_a to_o heaven_n but_o it_o be_v our_o own_o righteousness_n whereby_o we_o come_v to_o be_v make_v capable_a of_o that_o right_n to_o heaven_n for_o say_v the_o apostle_n flesh_n and_o blood_n shall_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n flesh_n and_o blood_n that_o be_v nature_n uncorrected_a unsanctified_a and_o uncontrolled_a it_o shall_v not_o inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n therefore_o christ_n have_v purchase_v not_o only_a redemption_n from_o hell_n and_o title_n to_o heaven_n but_o the_o donation_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n whereby_o we_o be_v make_v fit_a and_o capable_a of_o heaven_n whereby_o we_o be_v make_v meet_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o inheritance_n with_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n 17.19_o joh._n 17.19_o so_o say_v the_o evangelist_n joh._n 17.19_o for_o their_o sake_n say_v our_o saviour_n i_o sanctify_v myself_o that_o they_o also_o may_v be_v sanctify_v through_o the_o truth_n christ_n sanctify_v himself_o not_o only_o to_o redeem_v we_o from_o hell_n and_o to_o procure_v title_n to_o heaven_n but_o he_o sanctify_v himself_o that_o his_o member_n may_v be_v sanctify_v that_o by_o the_o merit_n and_o virtue_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 righteousness_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 of_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 spirit_n of_o god_n by_o which_o spirit_n our_o sinful_a lust_n be_v mortify_v in_o we_o and_o by_o which_o we_o be_v quicken_v and_o revive_v to_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n so_o christ_n be_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 we_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

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 same_o kind_n though_o not_o in_o the_o same_o degree_n but_o for_o his_o action_n mediatorious_a we_o be_v to_o resemble_v some_o of_o they_o too_o though_o not_o in_o the_o same_o kind_n yet_o in_o some_o way_n of_o use_n as_o he_o die_v for_o sin_n so_o we_o shall_v die_v to_o sin_n as_o he_o rise_v from_o the_o grave_n so_o we_o shall_v rise_v from_o sin_n to_o newness_n of_o life_n so_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 come_v to_o teach_v we_o by_o his_o example_n what_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o he_o teach_v we_o he_o be_v our_o schoolmaster_n not_o only_o in_o his_o action_n moral_a but_o in_o his_o action_n mediatorious_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 same_o kind_n yet_o in_o some_o sort_n we_o may_v we_o shall_v be_v as_o the_o heletropium_fw-la that_o open_v and_o shut_v with_o the_o sun_n so_o we_o may_v follow_v the_o lamb_n wheresoever_o he_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

can_v choose_v but_o be_v a_o powerful_a motive_n 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

that_o grace_n i_o do_v not_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n when_o grace_n be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o its_o infancy_n and_o beginning_n or_o in_o temptation_n but_o at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o god_n

not_o know_v that_o many_o man_n deceive_v themselves_o with_o false_a persuasion_n of_o mortification_n many_o man_n think_v that_o sin_n be_v dead_a in_o they_o when_o it_o be_v not_o dead_a but_o sleep_v as_o ignorant_a man_n think_v think_v the_o fly_n in_o winter_n be_v dead_a when_o other_o know_v that_o the_o fly_n be_v but_o benumb_v there_o be_v life_n in_o it_o though_o she_o do_v not_o

it_o not_o that_o therefore_o other_o that_o be_v indeed_o mortify_v shall_v not_o be_v persuade_v of_o it_o quest_n well_o say_v he_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v it_o answ_n i_o answer_v a_o man_n may_v know_v it_o three_o way_n first_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o god_n have_v leave_v as_o a_o test_n or_o touchstone_n whereby_o man_n may_v try_v the_o sincerity_n and_o truth_n of_o their_o mortification_n heretofore_o i_o have_v give_v some_o note_n and_o character_n whereby_o you_o may_v discern_v whether_o you_o be_v mortify_v or_o no_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n the_o first_o thing_n whereby_o we_o may_v try_v the_o truth_n of_o our_o mortification_n be_v the_o scripture_n which_o god_n have_v leave_v to_o be_v a_o light_n to_o our_o foot_n and_o a_o lantern_n to_o our_o path_n to_o be_v a_o touchstone_n whereby_o we_o may_v discover_v whether_o our_o mortification_n be_v sincere_a or_o counterfeit_a second_o there_o be_v another_o testimony_n and_o that_o be_v the_o testimony_n of_o our_o own_o conscience_n when_o the_o conscience_n be_v renew_v and_o sanctify_a conscience_n bear_v witness_n before_o god_n out_o of_o long_a experience_n of_o the_o truth_n
