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

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 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 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 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 bid_v he_o remember_v it_o why_o remember_v it_o because_o the_o very_a thought_n and_o remembrance_n that_o christ_n die_v and_o rise_v again_o it_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 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

image_n or_o statue_n of_o nebuchadnezar_n to_o have_v a_o head_n of_o gold_n and_o to_o have_v foot_n of_o mire_n and_o clay_n so_o christ_n be_v not_o only_o the_o meritorious_a and_o exemplary_a but_o the_o move_a persuade_v cause_n the_o very_a thought_n that_o christ_n die_v for_o sin_n and_o rise_v again_o it_o will_v move_v we_o to_o die_v to_o sin_n and_o to_o live_v the_o life_n of_o grace_n four_o and_o last_o christ_n be_v the_o cause_n efficient_a as_o of_o our_o death_n to_o sin_n so_o of_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v in_o vain_a that_o christ_n be_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n that_o he_o have_v merit_v the_o donation_n of_o god_n spirit_n whereby_o sin_n may_v be_v kill_v and_o we_o be_v quicken_v to_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o he_o to_o set_v himself_o as_o a_o pattern_n for_o we_o to_o imitate_v and_o that_o he_o be_v a_o moral_a cause_n to_o move_v and_o persuade_v we_o to_o imitate_v he_o unless_o he_o be_v also_o the_o cause_n efficient_a to_o work_v in_o we_o this_o death_n to_o sin_n and_o this_o life_n of_o grace_n therefore_o christ_n also_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n he_o work_v in_o we_o both_o a_o death_n to_o sin_n and_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n for_o the_o understanding_n of_o which_o know_v that_o christ_n not_o only_o save_v we_o by_o merit_n but_o he_o save_v we_o by_o efficacy_n too_o not_o only_o by_o merit_n in_o deserve_v of_o life_n for_o we_o but_o in_o efficacy_n in_o fit_v and_o prepare_v we_o to_o partake_v of_o life_n he_o not_o only_o by_o death_n have_v abolish_v and_o remove_v death_n for_o sin_n but_o he_o abate_v in_o we_o daily_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n so_o he_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n but_o you_o will_v ask_v how_o come_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o death_n to_o sin_n quest_n quest_n and_o of_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n by_o what_o mean_n do_v he_o work_v in_o we_o these_o two_o i_o answer_v answ_n answ_n in_o christ_n work_v in_o we_o these_o thing_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n that_o concur_v in_o the_o first_o work_v of_o this_o life_n of_o grace_n and_o death_n to_o sin_n and_o there_o be_v other_o that_o concur_v not_o to_o the_o first_o work_n but_o to_o the_o increase_n and_o augmentation_n of_o it_o those_o that_o concur_v to_o the_o first_o work_n be_v three_o 1._o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n 2._o the_o word_n of_o god_n 3._o and_o baptism_n now_o those_o again_o that_o concur_v not_o to_o the_o first_o work_n of_o our_o death_n to_o sin_n and_o kindle_v of_o

one_o of_o these_o brief_o first_o i_o say_v the_o principal_a cause_n of_o death_n to_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n so_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o that_o place_n before_o allege_a rom._n 8.12.13_o say_v he_o if_o you_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n you_o shall_v die_v 8.13_o rom._n 8.13_o but_o if_o you_o mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o body_n

be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o sanctify_a spirit_n in_o respect_n of_o both_o these_o for_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n it_o be_v that_o sin_n be_v mortify_v in_o we_o and_o it_o be_v from_o the_o quicken_a spirit_n that_o we_o be_v enliven_v to_o a_o new_a life_n so_o the_o principal_a cause_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n there_o be_v two_o other_o cause_n and_o those_o be_v instrumental_a first_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o be_v a_o powerful_a mean_n whereby_o god_n work_v in_o we_o this_o death_n to_o sin_n and_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v a_o powerful_a mean_n that_o god_n use_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v for_o the_o batter_a and_o demolution_n of_o all_o satan_n strong_a hold_n our_o lust_n of_o themselves_o be_v too_o strong_a for_o we_o to_o vanquish_v it_o be_v the_o spirit_n only_o that_o be_v mighty_a that_o can_v vanquish_v they_o but_o by_o what_o mean_n do_v the_o spirit_n do_v it_o it_o be_v by_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o principal_a cause_n but_o by_o the_o word_n as_o the_o instrumental_a cause_n or_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n concur_v with_o the_o word_n for_o the_o word_n of_o itself_o be_v not_o of_o power_n to_o mortify_v sin_n and_o to_o quicken_v we_o to_o a_o new_a life_n of_o grace_n but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o convey_v and_o derive_v to_o we_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n it_o be_v with_o we_o as_o it_o be_v with_o lazarus_n when_o he_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o grave_n to_o a_o new_a life_n he_o be_v raise_v by_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v indeed_o by_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n but_o it_o be_v not_o only_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n that_o raise_v he_o but_o the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n spirit_n go_v along_o with_o that_o word_n and_o make_v that_o effectual_a for_o the_o raise_n of_o he_o so_o it_o be_v with_o we_o it_o be_v not_o the_o word_n only_o that_o be_v available_a for_o the_o mortify_n of_o our_o sinful_a lust_n of_o that_o quicken_v we_o to_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o holy_a duty_n of_o a_o new_a life_n but_o the_o word_n as_o it_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o chief_a agent_n second_o another_o instrumental_a cause_n be_v baptism_n that_o also_o be_v a_o mean_n whereby_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n work_v in_o we_o this_o death_n to_o sin_n and_o life_n of_o grace_n now_o baptism_n be_v a_o cause_n of_o both_o these_o three_o way_n first_o as_o it_o be_v a_o cause_n resemble_v or_o as_o a_o type_n shadow_v and_o point_v our_o to_o we_o our_o death_n to_o sin_n and_o our_o life_n of_o grace_n which_o type_n and_o resemblance_n be_v far_o more_o express_a in_o hot_a climate_n and_o country_n in_o which_o in_o baptism_n they_o use_v to_o drench_v the_o child_n to_o dip_v it_o in_o the_o water_n which_o dip_v of_o the_o child_n in_o the_o water_n be_v a_o resemblance_n and_o type_n to_o they_o of_o their_o death_n to_o sin_n with_o christ_n and_o their_o rise_n out_o of_o the_o water_n express_v their_o rise_n to_o newness_n of_o life_n so_o by_o baptism_n we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n and_o alive_a to_o god_n through_o it_o as_o a_o resemblance_n express_v to_o we_o this_o death_n and_o life_n second_o not_o only_o as_o a_o resemblance_n but_o as_o a_o special_a mean_n whereby_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n concurre_v and_o go_v along_o with_o the_o element_n of_o water_n and_o make_v it_o effectual_a for_o the_o cleanse_n of_o we_o as_o from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n so_o for_o the_o subdue_a the_o power_n of_o sin_n and_o work_v in_o we_o a_o new_a life_n in_o which_o
