in this

we
muff
let
a

full
watch,
ouer
euerie
part and

Theobie6t ofour
fan&ification
about
which
it
is
exerci-
'fed, is
Panne
and corruption,
and
hohneffe and
righteouf-
neí1`e,
that

the
flefh
and
the

thereof,
and
be
quickned
in
the
fpirit,
that
wee may
bee
conformable in
all
holie obedience
vnto the law
ofGod,
auoidingthat
which

The
timé when

is
wrought
in
vs, is
prefent
lic
after wee are
effecluallie called and.iuflified
;
for
as
foone
as
the
vertue and

of
Chrifis obedience,`'deáth
and
rtfurre6tion,
is
applied vnto
vs
by
a

from the
guilt and
punifhment
of

but
'alfo
mortifie the
fl-efh
with
the
corruptions thereof, and
quickneth
vs
in
the inner
man, enabling
vs
to
forfake
our
former

and
taferue
the Lord in

and

But howfoeuer our 'fanóification

afterwards
they
