death of Chrifi, which for the rife, orway, or manner of its working, is beyond what tongue can fpeak, or pen can write, or pencile can delineate. Come then, if we would have ~race, en.. ·dure affi icl::ons, dye to !Jn, grow in our mortification : let us againe, and agaire returne to our duty of /coking 1mto J1[m, or beleeving in Jefus, as he was lifted up. And yet when all is done, let us not think that fin will dye or ceafe in us altogether, for that is an higher perfection than- this life will brare; only in the ufe of the meanes, and through Gods bleffi ng we may expn:'t thus far , that fin ihall not reigne, it ihall \ not weare a crown, it lhall not fit in the throne, it ihall hold no Parliaments, it ihall give no laws within us; we fhall notferve it, but we !hall dye to the dominion of it by vertue of this death of JefmChri fr .And this, He grant who djcd for us. Amem, Amen. Thus far we have looktd on Jefm, as our ?efiu; in his fufferings and death. Our next work is to look_ on Jefm carrying on the great work ofour falvation during the time of his refurrec'l:ion, and aboade upon earth, until!·his afcenfion, or taking up to heaven. s [[[ ~ -------------------------
