answerable_a unto_o the_o soul_n be_v christ_n the_o mediator_n who_o therefore_o in_o six_o hundred_o place_n of_o scripture_n be_v say_v to_o be_v our_o life_n and_o himself_o say_v of_o himself_o i_o be_o the_o resurrection_n and_o the_o life_n and_o again_o i_o be_o the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n second_o as_o the_o soul_n so_o have_v christ_n also_o life_n in_o himself_o as_o the_o father_n say_v he_o have_v life_n in_o himself_o so_o have_v he_o give_v unto_o the_o son_n also_o to_o have_v life_n in_o himself_o 5.26_o 8.2_o and_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n be_v in_o the_o son_n and_o s._n john_n this_o life_n be_v in_o his_o son_n and_o again_o 5.11_o 1.4_o this_o life_n be_v in_o he_o and_o the_o life_n be_v the_o light_n of_o man_n three_o as_o the_o soul_n have_v not_o only_a life_n in_o it_o but_o also_o a_o quicken_a power_n 5.21_o so_o have_v christ_n also_o so_o s._n john_n as_o the_o father_n 15.45_o so_o the_o son_n quicken_v whosoever_o he_o will_n and_o s._n paul_n the_o first_o adam_n be_v make_v a_o live_a soul_n and_o the_o second_o adam_n be_v make_v a_o quicken_a spirit_n four_o as_o the_o soul_n until_o it_o be_v personal_o unite_v quicken_v not_o so_o neither_o do_v christ_n until_o he_o be_v mystical_o unite_v of_o this_o union_n i_o can_v now_o speak_v i_o shall_v hereafter_o when_o i_o come_v to_o those_o word_n 22.23_o that_o they_o may_v be_v one_o as_o we_o be_v one_o i_o in_o they_o and_o thou_o in_o i_o 2.20_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n thus_o s._n paul_n i_o live_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o that_o be_v i_o live_v by_o christ_n unite_v unto_o i_o 5.12_o and_o s._n john_n he_o that_o have_v the_o son_n that_o be_v he_o that_o be_v unite_v unto_o he_o have_v life_n but_o he_o that_o have_v not_o the_o son_n that_o be_v be_v not_o unite_v unto_o he_o have_v not_o life_n five_o as_o the_o union_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n make_v and_o constitute_v man_n so_o upon_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n be_v we_o make_v new_a man_n 12.12_o christian_a man_n spiritual_a man_n yea_o as_o be_v above_o prove_v very_a christ._n so_o speak_v s._n paul_n in_o the_o place_n allege_v and_o elsewhere_o you_o be_v of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n 1.30_o that_o be_v by_o be_v in_o christ_n you_o have_v receive_v of_o god_n a_o new_a essence_n or_o be_v six_o as_o from_o the_o natural_a be_v of_o man_n come_v natural_a life_n 14.19_o so_o from_o the_o spiritual_a issue_n spiritual_a life_n because_o i_o live_v say_v our_o saviour_n you_o to_o wit_n who_o receive_v of_o my_o

spiritual_a action_n this_o have_v be_v already_o show_v whereunto_o i_o now_o only_o add_v that_o of_o s._n paul_n if_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o the_o body_n indeed_o be_v dead_a unto_o sin_n 8.10_o but_o the_o spirit_n be_v life_n unto_o righteousness_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o and_o after_o what_o manner_n spiritual_a life_n be_v convey_v unto_o we_o from_o christ._n it_o be_v further_a add_v that_o this_o life_n be_v not_o only_o from_o christ_n but_o that_o he_o be_v the_o donour_n and_o giver_n thereof_o it_o be_v from_o he_o but_o by_o way_n of_o gift_n 6.33_o for_o so_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o may_v gi●e_v so_o also_o elsewhere_o the_o bread_n of_o god_n be_v he_o which_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n 6.23_o and_o give_v life_n unto_o the_o world_n and_o s._n paul_n the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a life_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n 3.7_o whereupon_o s._n peter_n call_v it_o the_o grace_n of_o life_n and_o the_o scripture_n every_o where_o impute_v the_o whole_a work_n of_o our_o salvation_n from_o the_o begin_n unto_o the_o end_n thereof_o unto_o mere_a grace_n now_o as_o he_o say_v gratia_n non_fw-la est_fw-la gratia_fw-la nisisit_fw-la omnimodo_fw-la gratuita_fw-la grace_n be_v not_o grace_n unless_o it_o be_v every_o way_n of_o free_a gift_n and_o certain_o if_o it_o be_v not_o of_o

while_o as_o yet_o he_o lay_v like_o a_o dead_a lump_n of_o clay_n before_o his_o maker_n what_o in_o lazarus_n when_o he_o have_v be_v quatriduanus_fw-la four_o day_n in_o the_o grave_n and_o begin_v to_o putrify_v and_o corrupt_v surely_n none_o at_o all_o no_o more_o can_v there_o be_v in_o we_o who_o before_o we_o receive_v this_o life_n be_v utter_o dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n if_o the_o creature_n dispose_v not_o himself_o unto_o his_o creation_n nor_o man_n unto_o his_o generation_n nor_o the_o science_n unto_o its_o incition_n how_o can_v we_o prepare_v ourselves_o either_o to_o our_o renovation_n or_o regeneration_n or_o engraft_v into_o the_o mystical_a body_n of_o christ_n in_o a_o word_n can_v sin_n be_v a_o disposition_n or_o preparation_n unto_o grace_n i_o trow_v no._n yet_o whatsoever_o we_o do_v before_o we_o be_v new_a creature_n and_o live_v the_o spiritual_a life_n be_v at_o the_o best_a but_o splendidum_fw-la peccatum_fw-la a_o gay_a and_o glitter_a sin_n for_o the_o agent_n be_v altogether_o sinful_a and_o carnal_a and_o whatsoever_o be_v of_o flesh_n be_v flesh_n do_v we_o gather_v grape_n of_o thorn_n or_o fig_n of_o thistle_n or_o good_a

we_o believe_v till_o we_o believe_v therefore_o can_v we_o do_v no_o good_a if_o so_o than_o what_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n and_o please_v not_o god_n and_o what_o please_v not_o he_o can_v dispose_v unto_o grace_n be_v then_o without_o merit_n and_o disposition_n unto_o grace_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o as_o spiritual_a life_n be_v by_o union_n so_o it_o be_v also_o by_o way_n of_o gift_n from_o christ._n the_o use_n of_o all_o may_v be_v first_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o all_o they_o who_o be_v not_o unto_o christ_n mystical_o unite_v be_v spiritual_o dead_a and_o what_o action_n soever_o proceed_v from_o they_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o specious_a and_o goodly_a show_n they_o make_v be_v not_o live_v action_n for_o be_v not_o act_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v not_o like_a unto_o body_n animate_v by_o a_o humane_a soul_n but_o unto_o such_o dead_a body_n rather_o as_o be_v raise_v up_o by_o magician_n and_o be_v stir_v and_o move_v only_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o satan_n these_o may_v seem_v to_o live_v but_o indeed_o live_v not_o and_o if_o spiritual_a life_n be_v the_o only_o bless_a life_n then_o must_v these_o need_v be_v in_o a_o most_o rueful_a and_o miserable_a case_n second_o it_o teach_v we_o that_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o live_v this_o we_o must_v endeavour_v by_o all_o mean_n to_o be_v unite_v unto_o christ._n he_o be_v come_v unto_o we_o that_o we_o may_v have_v life_n yea_o and_o that_o we_o may_v have_v it_o in_o abundance_n 10.10_o if_o we_o come_v not_o to_o he_o it_o be_v our_o fault_n if_o we_o live_v not_o and_o just_a cause_n shall_v we_o give_v he_o to_o complain_v of_o we_o 5.40_o as_o he_o do_v of_o the_o jew_n you_o will_v not_o come_v to_o i_o that_o you_o may_v have_v life_n 17._o our_o come_n be_v by_o faith_n by_o it_o christ_n dwell_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o by_o it_o be_v the_o just_a man_n say_v to_o live_v this_o purge_v and_o purify_v our_o soul_n and_o produce_v in_o we_o the_o work_n of_o charity_n which_o be_v the_o right_a operation_n of_o spiritual_a life_n three_o see_v we_o live_v by_o christ_n it_o be_v reason_n we_o shall_v also_o live_v unto_o he_o for_o as_o s._n augustin_n say_v every_o thing_n shall_v live_v to_o that_o by_o which_o it_o live_v as_o the_o body_n because_o it_o live_v by_o the_o soul_n ought_v to_o live_v unto_o the_o soul_n hence_o therefore_o be_v it_o that_o s._n paul_n will_v have_v all_o that_o be_v dead_a unto_o sin_n to_o reckon_v themselves_o alive_a 14.7.8_o but_o alive_a unto_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n 2.19_o hence_o also_o he_o affirm_v that_o none_o of_o we_o live_v to_o himself_o but_o that_o we_o live_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o himself_o through_o the_o law_n be_v dead_a to_o the_o law_n that_o he_o may_v live_v unto_o god_n 5.14_o but_o most_o
be_v make_v acquaint_v with_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o earth_n also_o have_v he_o power_n not_o only_o over_o man_n as_o be_v above_o declare_v but_o also_o as_o the_o psalmist_n witness_v 8.6.7_o over_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n the_o fowl_n of_o the_o air_n 8.19.20.21_o the_o fish_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o whatsoever_o pass_v through_o the_o path_n thereof_o whence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o creature_n be_v sensible_a of_o the_o vanity_n whereunto_o it_o be_v now_o subject_a long_v and_o wait_v for_o his_o second_o come_v in_o hope_n then_o to_o be_v free_v from_o the_o bondage_n of_o corruption_n into_o the_o glorious_a liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n even_o the_o devil_n themselves_o and_o whatsoever_o be_v under_o the_o earth_n be_v subject_a unto_o he_o while_o he_o live_v here_o on_o earth_n he_o cast_v they_o out_o command_v and_o restrain_v they_o at_o pleasure_n yea_o to_o other_o also_o he_o give_v power_n to_o cast_v they_o out_o in_o his_o name_n it_o be_v he_o that_o have_v the_o key_n of_o hell_n and_o death_n 16.17_o 1.18_o and_o by_o force_n of_o they_o he_o reserve_v the_o sin_v angel_n in_o everlasting_a under_o darkness_n unto_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o great_a day_n 6._o final_o unto_o he_o be_v put_v in_o subjection_n not_o only_o this_o present_a world_n but_o that_o also_o 2.5_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o which_o be_v yet_o to_o come_v if_o all_o this_o be_v so_o will_v some_o say_v and_o christ_n power_n be_v so_o large_a why_o be_v it_o here_o restrain_v only_o unto_o all_o flesh_n that_o be_v unto_o mankind_n i_o answer_v that_o these_o word_n be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v exclusive_o as_o if_o his_o power_n reach_v no_o further_o then_o unto_o man_n but_o principal_o and_o especial_o and_o that_o for_o two_o cause_n first_o because_o he_o take_v flesh_n and_o therein_o suffer_v not_o for_o angel_n or_o any_o other_o creature_n but_o only_o for_o we_o man_n according_a to_o that_o in_o the_o nicene_n creed_n who_o for_o we_o man_n and_o our_o salvation_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o be_v incarnate_a 2.16_o whereupon_o say_v the_o apostle_n he_o take_v not_o on_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n but_o take_v on_o he_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n second_o for_o that_o as_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o first_o creation_n be_v make_v for_o man_n so_o in_o the_o recreation_n and_o restore_n of_o man_n it_o be_v fit_v that_o power_n shall_v be_v give_v over_o all_o thing_n for_o man_n whereupon_o say_v the_o apostle_n all_o thing_n be_v you_o and_o you_o be_v christ_n and_o christ_n be_v go_n the_o consideration_n of_o this_o large_a power_n of_o christ_n extend_v itself_o not_o only_o over_o all_o flesh_n but_o all_o other_o thing_n also_o for_o our_o benefit_n shall_v teach_v we_o in_o any_o ca●e_v not_o to_o rebel_v against_o our_o liege_n lord_n but_o as_o become_v dutiful_a and_o loyal_a subject_n with_o all_o humbleness_n to_o submit_v ourselves_o unto_o his_o sovereign_a authority_n that_o which_o he_o require_v at_o our_o hand_n be_v according_a as_o s._n paul_n teach_v first_o to_o confess_v with_o our_o tongue_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v

profess_v ourselves_o to_o be_v his_o christian_a servant_n notwithstanding_o any_o danger_n may_v accrue_v unto_o we_o thereby_o and_o second_o to_o bow_v the_o knee_n at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n that_o be_v in_o heart_n to_o honour_n to_o adore_v to_o worship_v he_o to_o love_v and_o fear_v he_o to_o put_v all_o our_o trust_n &_o confidence_n upon_o he_o and_o in_o one_o word_n to_o obey_v he_o and_o to_o this_o end_n we_o be_v to_o use_v all_o possible_a mean_n to_o settle_v and_o confirm_v this_o faith_n in_o we_o that_o he_o be_v our_o lord_n and_o have_v absolute_a power_n and_o

for_o the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o law_n excuse_v not_o and_o it_o be_v good_a to_o see_v with_o our_o own_o and_o not_o with_o other_o mensey_n for_o how_o do_v we_o know_v whether_o they_o will_v
