verse_n add_v more_o to_o the_o analogy_n say_v we_o be_v not_o only_o dead_a to_o sin_n in_o baptism_n but_o thereby_o also_o bury_v with_o he_o in_o proof_n of_o our_o death_n to_o sin_n so_o that_o the_o trine_n immersion_n use_v in_o baptism_n allude_v to_o the_o three_o day_n that_o christ_n lie_v bury_v in_o his_o grave_n as_o our_o sin_n in_o baptism_n lie_v drown_v under_o the_o water_n thereof_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n holy_a church_n make_v a_o solemn_a baptism_n yearly_a on_o easter_n eve_n to_o show_v that_o thereby_o those_o who_o die_v &_o be_v bury_v with_o christ_n do_v

these_o word_n so_o we_o also_o may_v walk_v import_v so_o we_o may_v persevere_v in_o that_o purity_n 5._o see_v how_o this_o verse_n insist_o further_a upon_o the_o consequence_n of_o our_o spiritual_a resurrection_n even_o in_o this_o life_n by_o our_o spiritual_a death_n and_o burial_n as_o above_o show_v that_o our_o newness_n of_o life_n by_o baptism_n be_v like_o the_o engraft_v we_o into_o the_o stock_n or_o tree_n of_o christ_n whence_o we_o be_v to_o receive_v all_o our_o future_a sap_n or_o nutriment_n so_o that_o as_o his_o death_n to_o natural_a life_n be_v the_o way_n to_o his_o resurrection_n in_o like_a manner_n our_o death_n to_o sin_n be_v the_o way_n to_o our_o resurrection_n with_o he_o and_o as_o we_o see_v graft_v follow_v the_o change_n of_o the_o tree_n they_o be_v ingraft_v in_o seem_v in_o the_o winter_n to_o die_v with_o it_o in_o the_o spring_n to_o revive_v with_o it_o so_o do_v we_o by_o baptism_n in_o christ_n seem_v to_o die_v with_o he_o in_o the_o winter_n of_o his_o passion_n but_o revive_v in_o the_o spring_n of_o his_o resurrection_n 6._o then_o we_o know_v indeed_o our_o old_a man_n to_o be_v crucify_v with_o christ_n when_o the_o new_a man_n live_v in_o he_o by_o the_o old_a man_n understand_v custom_n of_o sin_v renounce_v by_o baptism_n by_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n understand_v here_o the_o whole_a mass_n of_o our_o sin_n by_o the_o destruction_n of_o it_o understand_v not_o the_o palliation_n of_o it_o only_o by_o imputative_a justice_n as_o heretic_n do_v but_o the_o absolute_a death_n thereof_o by_o inherent_a justice_n infuse_v by_o baptismal_a grace_n into_o our_o soul_n 7._o and_o this_o sense_n be_v confirm_v by_o the_o next_o verse_n say_v he_o that_o be_v dead_a mean_v to_o sin_n be_v justify_v from_o sin_n life_n by_o the_o infuse_a justice_n which_o have_v kill_v and_o not_o only_o cover_v sin_n in_o the_o baptize_v 8._o this_o verse_n import_v our_o future_a life_n eternal_a which_o we_o firm_o believe_v we_o shall_v enjoy_v with_o christ_n if_o here_o we_o die_v with_o he_o to_o sin_n 9_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o precedent_a verse_n be_v confirm_v by_o this_o follow_v that_o tell_v we_o death_n shall_v as_o little_a reign_n over_o we_o in_o the_o next_o life_n if_o we_o true_o die_v to_o sin_n in_o this_o as_o it_o do_v over_o christ_n once_o rise_v from_o his_o grave_n and_o yet_o withal_o allude_v to_o the_o constancy_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v in_o good_a work_n even_o in_o this_o life_n that_o have_v once_o have_v the_o happiness_n to_o live_v spiritual_o here_o we_o shall_v disdain_v to_o die_v again_o by_o relapse_n into_o sin_n and_o so_o to_o let_v death_n dominear_o ever_o we_o who_o once_o we_o have_v slay_v by_o grace_n note_v here_o the_o strange_a goodness_n of_o our_o saviour_n who_o be_v god_n be_v content_a to_o let_v death_n once_o dominear_o over_o he_o on_o the_o cross_n that_o we_o may_v for_o ever_o after_o triumph_v with_o he_o over_o death_n 10._o here_o christ_n be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v to_o die_v to_o sin_n as_o we_o do_v but_o to_o die_v for_o sin_n not_o his_o own_o but_o we_o and_o that_o once_o for_o all_o our_o sin_n where_o he_o be_v say_v here_o to_o live_v to_o god_n understand_v with_o god_n a_o bless_a and_o immortal_a life_n as_o also_o that_o by_o so_o live_v he_o may_v perpetual_o praise_v and_o glorify_v almighty_a god_n since_o as_o he_o die_v for_o sin_n abolition_n so_o he_o live_v for_o god_n glorification_n 11._o it_o be_v reason_n we_o shall_v think_v ourselves_o dead_a to_o sin_n when_o by_o baptism_n we_o renounce_v it_o and_o live_v to_o god_n when_o by_o the_o same_o baptism_n we_o live_v in_o he_o but_o it_o be_v a_o high_a expression_n of_o the_o alteration_n which_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v unto_o in_o advise_v we_o to_o think_v we_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n for_o as_o dead_a man_n have_v no_o motion_n

show_v he_o the_o feature_n and_o deformity_n of_o his_o soul_n according_a as_o he_o be_v true_o in_o himself_o good_a or_o bad_a for_o that_o be_v the_o property_n of_o a_o glass_n to_o represent_v true_o the_o object_n which_o be_v set_v before_o it_o and_o the_o apostle_n in_o effect_n here_o say_v those_o that_o run_v to_o church_n or_o to_o their_o ghostly_a father_n to_o hear_v only_o what_o they_o say_v and_o do_v not_o put_v in_o execution_n their_o counsel_n be_v like_o a_o man_n note_n it_o be_v not_o say_v a_o woman_n too_o too_o frequent_o look_v there_o see_v his_o native_a

and_o do_v not_o study_v to_o perfect_v themselves_o thereby_o and_o true_o the_o law_n or_o word_n of_o god_n be_v right_o call_v a_o glass_n because_o it_o represent_v to_o we_o that_o image_n of_o perfect_a creature_n which_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o be_v it_o tell_v we_o what_o reward_n our_o virtue_n shall_v have_v what_o punishment_n our_o vice_n 24._o the_o reason_n why_o a_o man_n soon_o forget_v his_o own_o face_n then_o another_o be_v because_o he_o never_o see_v his_o own_o but_o by_o reflect_a species_n in_o a_o glass_n which_o be_v therefore_o weak_a and_o less_o

so_o no_o wonder_n if_o a_o man_n see_v and_o consider_v himself_o never_o so_o exact_o for_o a_o time_n that_o he_o soon_o forget_v himself_o and_o covet_v to_o see_v himself_o again_o whereas_o he_o much_o more_o perfect_o remember_v the_o face_n and_o feature_n of_o another_o person_n than_o his_o own_o now_o though_o it_o be_v needless_a for_o a_o man_n to_o look_v much_o into_o a_o material_a glass_n which_o can_v only_o show_v he_o the_o outward_a man_n yet_o it_o be_v very_o recommendable_a for_o he_o to_o look_v into_o the_o spiritual_a glass_n of_o god_n word_n to_o read_v or_o hear_v that_o often_o thereby_o to_o see_v what_o be_v want_v to_o that_o ornament_n of_o grace_n or_o virtue_n which_o shall_v render_v he_o a_o perfect_a image_n of_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n but_o beside_o this_o often_o look_v on_o himself_o he_o must_v be_v do_v and_o practise_v upon_o himself_o namely_o add_v this_o virtue_n take_v away_o that_o vice_n or_o else_o he_o only_o look_v and_o forget_v what_o he_o see_v or_o what_o he_o shall_v make_v himself_o to_o be_v note_v there_o be_v three_o kind_n of_o hearer_n of_o god_n word_n the_o lazy_a the_o active_a the_o contemplative_a the_o first_o hear_v only_o and_o forget_v indeed_o contemn_v the_o next_o hear_v and_o obey_v the_o three_o hear_v and_o die_v embrace_v it_o with_o all_o the_o power_n of_o their_o soul_n and_o never_o let_v go_v their_o embracement_n again_o many_o be_v the_o analogy_n between_o a_o glass_n and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o first_o as_o in_o a_o glass_n be_v see_v not_o a_o picture_n of_o a_o thing_n but_o the_o thing_n itself_o by_o a_o reflect_a species_n though_o not_o by_o a_o direct_a one_o so_o by_o the_o word_n be_v see_v the_o will_n of_o god_n nay_o god_n himself_o since_o the_o word_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v see_v by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o mouth_n as_o in_o a_o glass_n again_o as_o flat_a or_o plain_a glass_n represent_v the_o species_n equal_a to_o the_o object_n but_o convex_v or_o round_a glass_n represent_v they_o less_o than_o they_o be_v and_o both_o the_o further_o off_o the_o weak_a they_o represent_v they_o so_o the_o word_n of_o god_n plain_o sincere_o and_o without_o any_o crooked_a intention_n hearken_v unto_o or_o read_v represent_v true_o the_o will_n of_o god_n unto_o we_o but_o if_o we_o make_v this_o word_n a_o convex_a glass_n one_o swell_v up_o with_o a_o bulk_n of_o pride_n or_o ambition_n to_o wrest_v it_o to_o our_o crooked_a sense_n than_o it_o represent_v the_o will_n of_o god_n abridge_v shorten_v or_o lessen_v not_o entire_o and_o plain_o as_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o whence_o preacher_n must_v learn_v to_o be_v sincere_a and_o faithful_a in_o the_o exposition_n of_o holy_a writ_n again_o as_o concave_a or_o
