vherein
the
fJ
ir:t of
God applying
vnto
vs
the
vertue and
power
of
Chrifis
death and
burial!,
doth
by
little
and
little
weaken,
fubdue, and ill
in
vs
our
naturali
corruption, the

thereof
fo

In
this
defcription
is
let
downe,
firPt
the
caufe
ofour
mor-
tification, which
is
the vertue and
efficacie
of
Chrifis death
and buriall, communicated
and applied
vnto vs
by
the
fpi-
rit
of
God,
whereby
wee
are
ingrafted
into
the body
of
Chrifl,
and
fo
made partakers
of
the
power
and vertue
of
Chrifis death,
which being
deriued vnto
vs,
doth not
onely
take away
the
guilt
and pun'ifhment
of
Pinne,
but
alfo
doth
mortifie
and kill
our
naturali corruptions, which heretofore
wholly
ruled
and ouerfwaied vs.
Secondly, the forme,
man

ner
and progreffe
of
this
worke
is
here expreffed,
namely,
the weakning, fubduing,
and
killing
ofour
corruption by
little
and
Iittle
;
fo
that
this
worke
is
not
perfe6led
at
once,
and
in
an
inflant,
but
by degrees
:
fini it
is
weakned and the
power thereoffomewrhat abated,
fo
as
though
it
beare
fway
in
vs,
yet
it
doth
not
wholly ouerrule
vs
without
refiflance,
as
