heavenly_a and_o glorious_a life_n than_o we_o that_o die_v to_o sin_n with_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v raise_v up_o also_o with_o he_o into_o the_o partake_n of_o that_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a life_n as_o the_o kill_n and_o bury_v of_o sin_n be_v call_v the_o put_v off_o the_o old_a man_n so_o this_o rise_n with_o christ_n unto_o new_a of_o life_n be_v call_v the_o put_v on_o of_o the_o new_a man_n this_o be_v to_o walk_v in_o true_a holiness_n see_v all_o this_o be_v thus_o i_o pray_v you_o how_o can_v he_o be_v a_o true_a christian_a that_o do_v continue_v in_o sin_n shall_v we_o continue_v still_o in_o sin_n that_o grace_n may_v abound_v you_o see_v it_o manifest_v that_o a_o true_a christian_a be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o continue_v in_o sin_n that_o contrariwise_o he_o do_v walk_v in_o newness_n of_o life_n this_o saint_n paul_n do_v further_o examplifie_v in_o the_o verse_n that_o follow_v namely_o that_o all_o they_o which_o die_v with_o christ_n unto_o sin_n must_v needs_o also_o rise_v with_o he_o unto_o the_o partake_n of_o the_o new_a life_n and_o further_o that_o be_v once_o raise_v up_o from_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n into_o that_o life_n of_o righteousness_n they_o never_o return_v back_o again_o to_o live_v unto_o sin_n touch_v the_o former_a of_o these_o for_o to_o express_v it_o he_o use_v a_o similitude_n take_v from_o a_o plant_n if_o say_v he_o we_o be_v graft_v to_o the_o similitude_n of_o his_o death_n even_o so_o shall_v we_o be_v to_o the_o similitude_n of_o his_o resurrection_n thus_o it_o be_v in_o the_o natural_a plant_n as_o we_o also_o do_v know_v that_o when_o the_o science_n be_v graft_v into_o a_o stock_n and_o that_o be_v dig_v into_o the_o ground_n if_o the_o stock_n die_v they_o die_v with_o it_o and_o if_o the_o stock_n do_v grow_v and_o spring_v up_o they_o do_v grow_v and_o spring_v up_o with_o it_o even_o so_o the_o holy_a apostle_n teach_v that_o a_o man_n be_v by_o faith_n graft_v into_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v graft_v and_o do_v grow_v to_o he_o by_o a_o mystical_a and_o spiritual_a union_n to_o die_v with_o he_o that_o be_v as_o christ_n die_v to_o slay_v sin_n so_o he_o die_v to_o sin_n or_o sin_n by_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n death_n be_v slay_v in_o he_o likewise_o he_o be_v graft_v unto_o the_o similitude_n of_o his_o resurrection_n that_o be_v he_o receive_v the_o sap_n of_o life_n from_o christ_n as_o from_o the_o stock_n into_o which_o he_o be_v graft_v and_o so_o do_v live_v and_o grow_v up_o by_o he_o then_o you_o see_v by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o holy_a apostle_n that_o from_o the_o near_a conjunction_n which_o the_o faithful_a have_v with_o christ_n these_o two_o thing_n go_v inseparable_o together_o the_o die_a to_o sin_n and_o the_o rise_n to_o the_o new_a life_n even_o the_o life_n of_o righteousness_n for_o how_o shall_v a_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n and_o separate_v these_o as_o a_o man_n can_v have_v justification_n except_o he_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o if_o he_o be_v in_o he_o he_o must_v needs_o with_o it_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o grace_n and_o power_n of_o sanctification_n so_o also_o if_o he_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o one_o part_n of_o sanctification_n he_o can_v not_o be_v void_a of_o the_o other_o if_o he_o be_v dead_a and_o bury_v with_o christ_n he_o shall_v also_o rise_v with_o he_o whereby_o this_o be_v manifest_a that_o where_o holy_a life_n appear_v not_o in_o a_o man_n there_o sin_n be_v not_o slay_v for_o where_o there_o be_v a_o death_n and_o a_o burial_n of_o sin_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o resurrection_n unto_o a_o new_a life_n all_o they_o then_o be_v in_o the_o bondage_n of_o their_o sin_n which_o be_v not_o by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n quicken_v unto_o a_o new_a life_n even_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o virtue_n of_o he_o that_o call_v us._n what_o shall_v we_o say_v unto_o those_o also_o which_o will_v seem_v to_o have_v the_o latter_a without_o the_o former_a they_o will_v seem_v to_o be_v very_o scotfree_a and_o plenteous_a in_o good_a work_n and_o so_o to_o live_v unto_o righteousness_n but_o look_v upon_o their_o life_n and_o examine_v it_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o holy_a word_n of_o god_n and_o you_o shall_v behodle_o great_a and_o grievous_a vice_n that_o reign_v in_o they_o as_o those_o other_o which_o make_v no_o show_n of_o good_a work_n be_v awry_o when_o they_o imagine_v that_o they_o have_v part_n in_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o partaker_n of_o his_o resurrection_n because_o they_o have_v no_o holy_a life_n so_o these_o be_v utter_o deceive_v which_o will_v seem_v to_o be_v rise_v with_o christ_n unto_o a_o holy_a life_n and_o yet_o be_v never_o dead_a and_o bury_v with_o he_o in_o deed_n they_o can_v be_v raise_v unto_o the_o life_n of_o righteousness_n unless_o they_o have_v first_o die_v unto_o sin_n will_v they_o be_v graft_v to_o the_o similitude_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n and_o have_v not_o be_v graft_v with_o he_o to_o the_o similitude_n of_o his_o death_n what_o then_o be_v all_o those_o good_a work_n which_o they_o work_v that_o together_o with_o those_o good_a work_n do_v mingle_v so_o many_o bad_a vice_n all_o their_o life_n long_o sure_o their_o good_a deed_n be_v even_o such_o as_o the_o alm_n fast_v and_o prayer_n of_o the_o pharisy_n which_o christ_n do_v reprove_v mat._n 6._o take_v this_o for_o a_o most_o undoubted_a truth_n that_o there_o be_v no_o holy_a life_n but_o from_o the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n there_o be_v no_o partake_n of_o the_o true_a life_n of_o god_n and_o consequent_o not_o of_o any_o action_n of_o that_o true_a life_n but_o from_o hence_o that_o a_o man_n be_v graft_v with_o christ_n to_o the_o similitude_n of_o his_o resurrection_n and_o therefore_o all_o the_o good_a deed_n which_o man_n do_v that_o have_v not_o sin_v first_o slay_v in_o they_o proceed_v but_o of_o vainglory_n self-love_n or_o from_o other_o such_o sinister_a respect_n what_o be_v it_o when_o a_o profane_a dispiser_n of_o god_n word_n a_o horrible_a abuser_n of_o god_n name_n by_o swear_v a_o covetous_a a_o proud_a and_o a_o haughty_a person_n or_o a_o idolater_n do_v alm_n deed_n the_o poor_a indeed_o be_v relieve_v by_o it_o but_o they_o do_v not_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a before_o god_n and_o now_o touch_v the_o word_n that_o follow_v know_v this_o that_o our_o old_a man_n be_v crucify_v with_o he_o that_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n may_v be_v destroy_v that_o henceforth_o we_o shall_v not_o serve_v sin_n for_o he_o that_o be_v dead_a be_v free_v from_o sin_n this_o be_v so_o notable_a a_o matter_n touch_v our_o engraft_v into_o christ_n and_o grow_v together_o with_o he_o to_o the_o similitude_n of_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n the_o apostle_n do_v yet_o lay_v it_o open_v further_o and_o so_o come_v to_o that_o other_o point_n which_o i_o note_v of_o not_o return_v back_o again_o from_o the_o life_n of_o righteousness_n to_o live_v unto_o sin_n but_o here_o now_o the_o speech_n which_o be_v use_v be_v very_o effectual_a to_o express_v &_o to_o open_v unto_o we_o this_o whole_a matter_n as_o the_o old_a man_n crucify_a the_o body_n of_o sin_n abolish_v and_o the_o service_n of_o sin_n from_o which_o we_o be_v free_v first_o what_o be_v it_o which_o he_o call_v our_o old_a man_n this_o you_o must_v understand_v or_o else_o you_o shall_v not_o attain_v to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n it_o be_v neither_o the_o essence_n of_o our_o soul_n nor_o body_n which_o be_v call_v the_o old_a man_n but_o the_o corrupt_a quality_n as_o also_o the_o new_a man_n be_v in_o the_o pure_a &_o uncorrupted_a quality_n as_o when_o we_o be_v will_v to_o put_v off_o the_o old_a man_n and_o to_o put_v on_o the_o new_a man_n it_o be_v a_o speech_n borrow_v from_o the_o put_n off_o and_o on_o of_o garment_n for_o the_o put_n off_o the_o old_a man_n be_v as_o the_o put_n off_o a_o most_o filthy_a garment_n the_o put_v on_o the_o new_a man_n be_v as_o the_o put_n on_o of_o a_o pure_a and_o clean_a garment_n then_o further_o we_o must_v note_v why_o it_o be_v call_v a_o man_n our_o old_a man_n and_o that_o be_v because_o the_o filthy_a corruption_n have_v by_o nature_n overspread_v all_o part_n of_o man_n both_z within_z and_o without_o all_o the_o power_n and_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n be_v defile_v so_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o pure_a in_o man_n as_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o by_o nature_n the_o power_n and_o dominion_n of_o sin_n have_v get_v the_o mastery_n over_o all_o that_o
ever_o how_o then_o can_v the_o old_a man_n once_o crucify_v ever_o recover_v life_n again_o or_o how_o can_v the_o new_a life_n the_o life_n of_o god_n be_v once_o begin_v be_v utter_o extinct_a in_o any_o see_v the_o apostle_n do_v argue_v upon_o this_o ground_n that_o as_o christ_n can_v not_o alter_v so_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n can_v not_o alter_v how_o then_o shall_v they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o so_o dead_a to_o sin_n yet_o live_v therein_o how_o can_v any_o true_a christian_a man_n continue_v in_o sin_n that_o grace_n may_v abound_v but_o especial_o consider_v how_o contrary_a they_o be_v unto_o this_o place_n which_o hold_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v regenerate_v in_o christ_n and_o utter_o fall_v from_o it_o by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o those_o the_o old_a man_n may_v be_v crucify_v and_o slay_v in_o a_o man_n and_o live_v again_o and_o so_o again_o he_o may_v be_v slay_v if_o they_o leave_v place_n for_o repentance_n and_o live_v also_o from_o that_o also_o by_o their_o doctrine_n the_o life_n of_o god_n may_v in_o a_o man_n be_v extinct_a and_o so_o he_o do_v not_o in_o christ_n live_v to_o god_n why_o then_o do_v s._n paul_n here_o make_v such_o a_o comparison_n between_o christ_n and_o his_o member_n which_o be_v graft_v into_o he_o but_o let_v these_o pass_v and_o return_v again_o to_o the_o former_a s._n paul_n now_o draw_v from_o hence_o a_o exhortation_n unto_o all_o christian_n that_o see_v their_o profession_n figure_v by_o baptism_n be_v so_o as_o they_o must_v die_v with_o christ_n to_o sin_n and_o rise_v also_o with_o he_o unto_o the_o new_a life_n that_o therefore_o they_o will_v not_o let_v sin_n reign_v in_o their_o mortal_a body_n etc._n etc._n if_o sin_n be_v slay_v in_o you_o than_o you_o must_v not_o let_v it_o reign_v in_o you_o for_o be_v that_o meet_v that_o a_o dead_a thing_n shall_v reign_v and_o shall_v man_n obey_v the_o lust_n of_o that_o which_o be_v slay_v sure_o if_o sin_n reign_n sin_n be_v not_o slay_v if_o any_o man_n do_v obey_v the_o lust_n thereof_o it_o be_v alive_a still_o in_o he_o such_o a_o man_n without_o all_o controversy_n be_v not_o in_o christ_n but_o now_o mark_v how_o the_o bless_a apostle_n do_v frame_v his_o speech_n in_o this_o exhortation_n he_o do_v not_o say_v th●●_n let_v not_o sin_n remain_v at_o all_o in_o you_o or_o see_v that_o in_o no_o wise_a you_o be_v find_v to_o sin_n for_o then_o all_o be_v lose_v if_o none_o be_v in_o christ_n if_o none_o be_v dead_a and_o rise_v with_o he_o but_o such_o as_o be_v quite_o void_a of_o all_o sin_n but_o let_v not_o sin_n reign_v in_o your_o mortal_a body_n here_o be_v all_o that_o the_o faithful_a be_v call_v upon_o for_o while_o they_o live_v here_o namely_o that_o they_o obey_v not_o the_o lust_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o give_v unto_o it_o a_o kingdom_n and_o a_o dominion_n in_o they_o he_o show_v plain_o by_o this_o that_o the_o slay_a body_n of_o sin_n remain_v still_o in_o they_o and_o the_o lust_n thereof_o be_v in_o the_o mind_n but_o we_o must_v not_o obey_v they_o also_o he_o say_v let_v it_o not_o reign_v in_o your_o mortal_a body_n what_o do_v he_o by_o this_o give_v allowance_n that_o sin_n may_v reign_v in_o the_o mind_n sure_o that_o be_v a_o small_a reformation_n if_o sin_n shall_v be_v restrain_v only_o in_o our_o body_n and_o retain_v the_o full_a force_n still_o in_o the_o mind_n but_o see_v it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o that_o the_o motion_n of_o sin_n will_v arise_v in_o the_o mind_n he_o do_v advertise_v that_o yet_o we_o shall_v restrain_v our_o body_n from_o perform_v those_o lust_n it_o be_v the_o like_a speech_n when_o s._n paul_n say_v be_v angry_a but_o sin_n not_o he_o speak_v not_o there_o of_o a_o holy_a anger_n which_o indeed_o be_v not_o sin_n for_o than_o he_o will_v not_o will_v we_o to_o cut_v it_o off_o say_v let_v not_o the_o sun_n go_v down_o upon_o your_o wrath_n but_o he_o do_v thereby_o insinuate_v that_o man_n be_v so_o prone_a unto_o anger_n and_o it_o do_v arise_v so_o sudden_o oftentimes_o even_o upon_o every_o occasion_n that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v avoid_v nevertheless_o he_o do_v advise_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o perform_v the_o cruel_a deed_n which_o anger_n do_v lead_v unto_o see_v it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o that_o the_o filthy_a motion_n and_o lust_n of_o sin_n will_v arise_v in_o the_o mind_n yet_o resist_v they_o so_o this_o be_v his_o council_n that_o they_o reign_v not_o in_o your_o mortal_a body_n or_o give_v not_o up_o your_o body_n in_o action_n to_o perform_v such_o wicked_a motion_n labour_n to_o have_v the_o mind_n whole_o purge_v from_o they_o but_o see_v that_o can_v not_o be_v full_o attain_v let_v they_o not_o have_v the_o reign_n and_o dominion_n in_o your_o body_n and_o further_o in_o this_o exhortation_n he_o will_v we_o not_o to_o give_v our_o member_n as_o weapon_n of_o unrighteousness_n unto_o sin_n but_o give_v say_v he_o yourselves_o unto_o god_n as_o they_o that_o be_v alive_a from_o the_o dead_a and_o give_v your_o member_n as_o weapon_n of_o righteousness_n to_o god_n to_o understand_v this_o you_o must_v consider_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n likn_v sin_n unto_o a_o mighty_a tyrant_n who_o have_v his_o minister_n and_o servant_n attend_v and_o set_v themselves_o in_o his_o presence_n to_o wait_v his_o pleasure_n what_o service_n he_o will_v command_v they_o which_o then_o they_o execute_v and_o therefore_o he_o use_v here_o the_o like_a phrase_n of_o speech_n will_v we_o not_o to_o set_v our_o member_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o sin_n as_o weapon_n or_o instrument_n or_o as_o it_o be_v minister_n attend_v and_o ready_a to_o execute_v his_o pleasure_n this_o in_o deed_n be_v the_o miserable_a bondage_n that_o man_n be_v in_o by_o nature_n that_o all_o

how_o cheerful_o man_n perform_v that_o service_n how_o ready_a be_v they_o to_o obey_v the_o lust_n of_o sin_n what_o be_v the_o reward_n of_o those_o which_o serve_v righteousness_n be_v it_o not_o

to_o the_o last_o verse_n which_o i_o have_v read_v unto_o you_o for_o sin_n shall_v not_o have_v dominion_n over_o you_o for_o you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n this_o be_v a_o most_o excellent_a comfort_n which_o s._n paul_n utter_v to_o hearten_v &_o to_o encourage_v all_o the_o faithful_a to_o resist_v sin_n we_o hear_v of_o freedom_n from_o the_o yoke_n of_o our_o
