Tim. 2. 19. Who so is in Christ Iesus is a newe creature 2. Cor. 5. 17. ALbeit the whole worke of our saluation stand sound and perfect vnto vs in all respectes without our selues in Jesus Christ so that we may boldly say with Saint Paule being then iustified by fayth we haue peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ and doe glorie in hope of the glorie of God Yet is not Christ the minister of sinne nor the Gospel a doctrine that giueth libertie vnto euil but contrariwise the death of Christ is of power in those that beleeue in him to cause them to die vnto sinne and to be mortified in the olde Adam of this fleshe with the lustes and concupiscences of the same And the Gospel teacheth vs that the true members of Christ must and do walke not after the fleshe but after the spirit offring vp themselues their soules and bodies and all that they haue an holy and acceptable sacrifice of spiritual worship vnto God inquiring to knowe and labouring to performe that good perfect and acceptable will of God reuealed in his worde Also the same spirit which is called the spirit of adoption because it teacheth vs to crie Abba father and beareth witnesse vnto our spirites that we are the children of God and heires of his kingdom being the seale wherewith hee hath sealed vs and the gage whereby he hath pledged vnto vs all his promises of mercie in Christ is also the spirit of mortification whereby is mortified in vs the workes of the flesh our olde Adam being crucified with Christ in his Crosse and the spirit of sanctification and of our new birth quickening in vs a newe creature and fashioning vs againe after image of God to walke before him in righteousnes and true holinesse all the dayes of our life Also this doctrine is both taught and sealed vnto vs yea the trueth and effect thereof exhibited and perfourmed in the vse of the holy Sacraments which both of them teache vs to die vnto sinne and liue vnto righteousnesse assure vs that as the Gospel was preached vnto the fathers with this effect that they might be cōdemned according vnto mē that is in the flesh but liue according vnto God that is in the spirit so the same shal be accōplished in al the true mēbers of Christ the one by the power of his death the other by the power of his resurrection which thing ought not a little to comfort and incourage vs in that great and daungerous conflict with the flesh the worlde and the diuell when we knowe that our victorie stādeth not in our owne strength which is none but in the inuincible power of him which came to destroy the works of Satan and in whose crosse our olde man is so mortified as the bodie of sinne is weakned in vs which do beleeue Unto whom also he hath giuen that spirit to dwell in vs whereby he hath promised to quicken our mortal bodies which now in part are subdued vnder sinne The sixth proposition of the rule of righteousnes Thy worde is a lanterne vnto my feete and a light vnto my pathes Psal. 119. 105. The commaundement is a lanterne and the lawe a light ▪ and reprehensions for instruction are the way of life Prou. 6. 23. THe rule of holines and obedience is not our owne will nor lustes and affections of our corrupt and cursed nature which euermore rebelleth against God nor the examples and manners of men or customes and fashions of the worlde but onely that most good perfect and accepable will of God commended and commaunded vnto vs in his lawe which must in all thinges be the light vnto our feete and the lanterne vnto our pathes to directe vs to walke with him and before his maiestie so as we may please him with reuerence and carefulnesse which is the seconde vse of the lawe of God. This lawe of GOD requireth at our handes that we honour loue feare and obey him in al thinges and aboue all that wee trust in him flee vnto him in all our needes calling vpon him onely and acknowledging him to be the creatour and gouernour of all things That wee woorshippe him not with our owne inuentions or blinde deuotions nor with the doctrines of men or after the example of others but onely with that worship which he himselfe hath prescribed vnto vs in his worde without adding therevnto or taking from it That we haue and vse in most highe reuerence his holie name woorde and workes whatsoeuer else he is knowen vnto vs by that we know him to be the searcher of all hartes the rewarder of all sinceritie and truth and the reuenger of all hypocrisie blasphemie false and vaine swearing with all other prophaninges and abusinges of his most blessed name and religion That we sanctifie the Lordes Sabboth not doing therein our owne wil nor walking our owne wayes nor speaking our own wordes but ceasing from the honest labours of our lawful callings much more from vayne and hurtfull pastimes Stage playes Dicing carding c. that with all libertie and quietnesse both of mind bodie we may with our families attend vpō those publique exercises of religion which the Lord hath in wisedome and mercie appointed for his owne worshippe and for our edifying Assembling our selues together to heare his holy woorde learne and lay vp the same in our hearts for the ordering of our liues celebrate his holy sacraments and with one heart and one voice call vpon his name rendring vnto his maiestie most humble and hartie thankes for al mercies hitherto bestowed vppon vs and crauing new benefites and blessinges at his handes necessarie for vs and his whole Churche both for this present life and also for the life to come The seconde table of the lawe requireth that wee should loue our neighbours as our selues The fifth commaundement containeth
