A
CHRISTIAN
,
HIS
DIGNITY
and
Duty
.
Galat
.
5.24
.
For
they
that
are
Christs
,
haue
crucified
the
flesh
,
with
the
affections
and
the
lusts
.
1.
The
dignity
of
a
Christian
.
THe
Apostle
in
these
words
perswadeth
the
Galatians
,
that
there
is
no
law
against
them
that
bring
forth
the
fruits
of
the
Spirit
:
because
that
such
are
Christs
,
who
doe
crucifie
the
flesh
,
with
the
affections
and
lusts
.
So
that
the
fruitfull
in
Christ
the
root
,
Reuel
.
22.16
.
are
saued
;
not
for
the
fruits
cause
,
but
for
the
roots
cause
:
For
There
is
no
condemnation
to
them
that
are
in
Christ
Iesus
,
which
walke
not
after
the
flesh
,
but
after
the
Spirit
,
Rom.
8.1
.
These
words
containe
our
greatest
dignity
;
which
is
,
to
bee
Christs
.
And
our
most
necessary
duty
,
to
crucifie
the
flesh
,
&c.
This
is
the
Christian
dignity
of
those
Excellent
ones
,
The
Christian
dignity
.
Psa
.
16.3
.
who
in
Christ
haue
their
Priuiledge
to
become
the
sonnes
of
God
,
Ioh
.
1.12
.
and
a
right
to
the
tree
of
life
,
Reuel
.
22.14
.
and
that
because
they
are
Christs
.
Wherein
these
things
following
are
to
bee
considered
.
2.
What
is
it
to
be
Christs
?
THey
that
are
Christs
,
A
description
of
those
that
are
Christs
.
are
not
onely
his
in
generall
,
or
by
profession
:
but
in
speciall
,
by
his
sauing
grace
,
as
elected
in
him
,
before
the
foundation
of
the
world
:
and
in
his
owne
time
vnited
to
him
by
faith
,
into
a
most
neere
fellowship
,
by
the
power
of
the
holy
Spirit
:
that
they
may
bee
so
wholly
his
,
and
partakers
of
all
his
blessings
,
that
they
may
appertaine
to
him
more
than
to
all
others
,
and
that
he
may
be
also
theirs
,
whereof
they
haue
a
comfortable
sence
and
feeling
in
this
life
,
and
a
full
fruition
in
the
life
to
come
.
This
description
doth
spread
it selfe
into
many
branches
,
to
bee
explaned
as
followeth
.
Some
are
Christs
in
generall
,
some
in
speciall
.
For
hee
hath
giuen
to
him
of
his
Father
,
power
ouer
all
flesh
,
that
hee
should
giue
eternall
life
to
as
many
as
the
Father
hath
giuen
him
,
Ioh
.
17.2
.
To
be
Christs
in
generall
by
subiection
.
They
that
are
Christs
in
generall
,
are
his
,
as
he
is
the
Head
of
all
principalitie
and
power
,
Col.
1.18
.
Reuel
.
1.5
.
and
17.14
.
and
19.16
.
All
power
is
giuer
to
him
both
in
heauen
and
in
earth
,
Mat
.
28.18
.
In
all
things
he
hath
the
preeminence
,
Colos
.
1.18
.
He
is
exalted
aboue
all
things
.
Eph.
1.20
.
Exalted
highly
aboue
euery
name
,
Phil
.
2.9
.
All
things
were
created
by
him
,
and
for
him
:
hee
is
before
all
things
,
and
in
him
all
things
doe
consist
,
Col.
1.16
,
17.
Ioh
.
1.3
.
Bearing
vp
all
things
by
his
mighty
word
,
Heb
.
1.3
.
Hee
is
Lord
ouer
the
quicke
and
the
dead
:
Iudge
ouer
all
,
Rom.
13.9
,
10.
So
all
men
are
Christs
in
generall
:
and
(
with
all
other
things
)
are
put
in
subiection
vnder
his
feet
,
Ephes
.
1.20
.
Heb
.
2.8
.
That
at
the
name
of
Iesus
,
euery
knee
should
bow
,
Phil
.
2.9
,
10.
To
be
Christs
this
way
,
All
things
are
Christs
in
generall
.
is
very
common
.
All
men
are
Christs
,
as
hee
is
their
Lord
.
All
reprobates
and
diuels
are
Christs
,
as
hee
is
their
Iudge
.
All
the
Regenerate
are
Christs
,
as
hee
is
their
King
.
To
be
Christs
after
this
manner
,
is
not
the
Saints
prerogatiue
.
We
must
therforegiue
all
diligence
to
goe
beyond
the
whole
creatures
,
Admonition
.
in
appertaining
to
Christ
,
and
become
Christs
in
a
neerer
and
more
speciall
manner
.
They
that
are
Christs
in
Speciall
(
here
specially
meant
)
are
his
:
To
bee
Christs
in
speciall
by
grace
.
as
he
is
the
Prince
of
their
saluation
,
Heb
.
1.10
.
The
head
of
his
body
which
is
his
Church
,
Ephes
.
1.22
.
Col.
1.18
.
Ephes
.
5.23
.
As
a
Sonne
,
he
is
ouer
his
owne
house
:
whose
house
we
are
,
Heb
.
3.6
.
Their
Redeemer
,
Ephes
.
1.7
.
The
Sauiour
of
his
body
,
Ephes
.
5.23
.
Hee
hath
bought
them
for
a
price
,
1.
Cor
.
6.20
.
Hee
hath
purchased
them
with
his
owne
blood
,
Act.
20.28
.
He
knits
them
to
himselfe
:
he
furnisheth
them
with
his
grace
,
and
maketh
thē
encrease
with
the
encreasing
of
God
,
Col.
2.19
.
Let
vs
therfore
haue
a
speciall
care
to
become
Christs
in
speciall
.
Admonition
.
Many
say
,
Who
will
shew
vs
any
good
?
Psalm
.
4.6
.
But
heere
is
of
all
good
things
the
best
,
to
be
Christs
.
And
as
Peter
said
to
Christ
at
his
Transfiguration
:
It
is
good
for
vs
to
bee
heere
,
Luk
.
9.33
.
So
wee
may
all
say
in
our
Regeneration
,
It
is
good
to
bee
Christs
.
It
is
the
most
happy
estate
of
man
:
there
is
no
solid
nor
constant
comfort
,
but
in
it
,
and
as
Dauid
said
,
I
had
rather
bee
a
doorekeeper
in
the
house
of
my
God
,
than
to
dwell
in
the
Tabernacles
of
wickednesse
,
Psal
.
84.10
.
So
euery
one
should
say
,
I
had
rather
be
the
least
of
those
that
are
Christs
;
than
to
be
the
heire
of
the
greatest
Monarch
,
without
Christ
,
Gal.
3.29
.
3.
Who
are
not
Christs
?
AS
Christ
said
,
Many
are
not
Christs
.
Hee
that
is
not
with
me
,
is
against
me
,
Math
.
12.30
.
shewing
that
there
was
many
both
against
him
,
and
not
with
him
.
So
doth
the
Apostle
heere
insinuate
that
all
are
not
Christs
.
For
all
men
haue
not
faith
,
2.
Thes
.
3.2
.
neither
doe
all
crucifie
the
flesh
.
It
is
therefore
requisite
that
we
know
who
are
not
Christs
.
The
diuels
are
not
his
:
as
that
Legion
cried
,
What
haue
I
to
doe
with
thee
,
Iesus
,
the
Sonne
of
the
most
high
God
?
Mark
.
5.7
.
A
Reprobate
shall
neuer
become
Christs
.
An
Atheist
,
an
Epicure
,
an
Impenitent
,
a
swinish
and
worldly
Gadarene
,
Mark
.
5.17
.
is
not
Christs
.
The
Hypocrite
is
not
his
.
Hypocrites
are
not
Christs
.
Profession
maketh
not
one
to
be
his
;
neither
doth
externall
Vocation
,
nor
vulgar
graces
of
the
Spirit
make
any
to
be
his
.
One
may
haue
the
shew
&
forme
of
godlinesse
,
The
forme
of
their
hypocrisie
.
2.
Tim
.
3.5
.
and
yet
not
be
his
,
because
hee
wants
the
sauing
power
of
it
.
Many
haue
a
name
that
they
are
aliue
,
but
in
truth
they
are
dead
,
Reu
.
3.1
.
Fruitlesse
trees
,
shadowing
onely
with
leaues
:
who
haue
the
light
of
God
,
but
not
the
life
of
God
.
A
dead
faith
,
without
workes
:
sorrowing
for
sinne
,
but
not
sorrowing
to
repentance
:
mourning
without
amending
.
Their
loue
of
God
is
but
general
and
mercenary
:
a
zeale
without
knowledge
:
a
seruile
feare
:
restraining
sin
,
but
not
crucifying
it
:
a
taste
of
the
heauenly
gift
,
Heb
.
6.4
.
friuolous
and
superficiall
motions
:
fantasticall
and
fleeting
comforts
and
ioyes
.
These
things
make
not
one
to
bee
Christs
.
Admonition
.
Let
vs
therefore
search
our
owne
hearts
;
let
vs
examine
our selues
,
and
prooue
our selues
whether
wee
haue
faith
or
not
:
let
vs
know
our selues
,
if
Christ
be
in
vs
,
and
wee
his
,
except
we
be
reprobates
,
2.
Cor
.
13.5
.
that
if
as
yet
we
be
not
truly
Christs
,
wee
may
study
by
all
meanes
(
in
this
acceptable
time
)
to
become
his
.
4.
Who
are
Christs
?
THe
Apostle
positiuely
sets
downe
,
Some
are
Christs
by
Election
onely
.
that
they
who
are
Christs
,
haue
crucified
the
flesh
.
Wee
must
therefore
know
who
are
Christs
.
Some
are
Christs
onely
in
Gods
prescience
and
secret
Decree
,
and
counsell
:
whereof
some
(
as
yet
)
are
not
borne
,
some
are
Infants
,
and
some
(
as
yet
)
not
called
,
&
without
Christ
,
and
without
God
in
the
world
,
Ephes
.
2.12
.
Some
are
Christs
improperly
,
Some
are
Christs
improperly
.
onely
in
appearance
.
The
grosse
Hypocrite
is
Christs
,
onely
in
the
worlds
appearance
.
The
formall
and
temporizing
Hypocrite
is
Christs
,
both
in
the
worlds
,
and
in
his
owne
appearance
,
and
no
further
.
But
some
are
Christs
most
properly
,
Some
are
Christs
properly
.
and
truly
to
be
counted
his
:
as
those
that
are
vnited
to
him
by
a
liuely
faith
,
who
apprehend
him
,
and
are
apprehended
of
him
,
Phil
.
3.12
.
The
Elect
,
who
are
regenerate
,
effectually
called
,
iustified
,
adopted
,
sanctified
,
and
are
to
be
glorified
,
Rom.
8.30
.
They
are
Christs
in
their
owne
perswasion
,
and
they
are
his
also
by
profession
before
the
world
.
They
are
his
,
both
in
appearance
,
and
in
effect
,
both
by
Election
and
Vocation
effectuall
.
But
as
there
are
many
called
,
Admonition
.
and
few
chosen
,
Mat
.
22.14
.
so
,
many
are
not
Christs
,
and
very
few
are
his
:
yet
the
Lord
knoweth
who
are
his
:
and
let
euery
one
that
calleth
on
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
depart
from
iniquity
,
2.
Tim
.
2.19
.
The
question
may
be
moued
concerning
Infants
,
How
Infants
are
Christs
.
if
they
be
Christs
when
they
die
in
their
infancy
.
The
answere
is
,
If
an
Infant
bee
a
reprobate
,
in
that
case
(
because
of
his
naturall
pollution
,
whereof
he
is
guilty
)
he
is
left
to
himselfe
,
and
reiected
eternally
.
But
if
the
Infant
bee
a
chosen
child
,
hee
may
bee
Christs
both
externally
in
the
iudgement
of
the
Church
,
as
one
within
the
couenant
of
grace
:
and
internally
also
hee
is
Christs
in
a
most
secret
and
vnspeakable
manner
;
being
insert
in
Christ
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
1.
Cor
.
12.13
.
The
Apostle
in
this
place
speaketh
not
of
Infants
;
neither
of
their
prerogatiue
in
Christ
;
but
onely
of
those
that
are
Christs
,
and
that
crucifie
the
flesh
;
who
are
come
to
perfection
of
yeeres
,
and
endeuour
to
bee
perfect
men
in
Christ
.
Admonition
.
Bee
not
therefore
so
curious
to
know
who
are
Christs
;
as
carefull
,
that
thou
thy selfe
may
be
truly
his
;
that
thou
maist
find
the
vigour
and
quickening
life
of
him
in
thy
heart
,
wherby
thou
maist
crucifie
the
flesh
,
with
the
affections
&
lusts
thereof
:
and
that
thou
maist

How
are
we
Christs
?
SIth
that
all
are
not
Christs
,
and
those
that
are
his
,
are
few
.
And
sith
none
are
his
by
nature
,
but
by
grace
only
;
it
is
needfull
therefore
to
vnderstand
how
wee
are
Christs
.
We
are
his
in
a
true
,
Wee
are
Christs
in
a
spirituall
vnion
.
pure
,
and
spirituall
vnion
,

The

it

it
is
reall

spirituall

They
that
are
vnited
to

,
must
bee
first
separated
from

that
is
,
from
the
condemnation
and
corruption
that
is
in
the
world
through
lust
,
2.
Pet
.
1.4
.
This
vnion
is
wrought
by
the
Application
and
Apprehension
of
Christ
.
In
Christs
application
,
the
holy
Spirit
really
exhibits
&
offers
Christ
vnto
vs
,
Ioh

17.6

9.
and
10.29

and
vs
againe
to
Christ
,
and
giueth
either
of
vs
to
other
,
This
is
called
the
communion
of
the
Spirit
,
Philip
.
2.1
.
whereby
we
are
all
baptized
into
one
Spirit
,
1.
Cor
.
12.13
.
&
are
al
made
to
drinke
into
one
Spirit
.
In
Christs
apprehension
,
the
holy
Spirit
likewise
is
effectuall
.
He
moueth
the
heart
of
the
beleeuer
,
by
a
most
secret
and
vnspeakable
power
,
to
imbrace
and
receiue
Christ
:
like
as
Christ
receiueth
and
apprehendeth
by
the
same
holy
Spirit
the
beleeuer
,
Phil
.
3.12
.
and
so
is
vnited
to

Gal.
3.27
.
Ephes

3.20

Col.

.
To
be
Christs
therefore
is
a
worke
supernaturall
,
diuine
,
and
from

and
who

of

Heereupon

vnspeakable

to

It

Lusts
Spirituall

LVsts
are
either
Spirituall
,
Naturall
,
Spirituall
lusts
what
they
are
.
or
Sinfull
.
Lusts
Spirituall
are
such
as
are
contrarie
to
the
flesh
:
as
the
flesh
lusts
against
them
,
Gal.

.
They
are
sanctified
desires
.
They
are
engendred
by
the
Holy
Spirit
.
They
are
agreeable
to
Gods
will
.
They
are
conuersant
about
heauenly
and
holy
obiects
.
They
are
not
to
be
crucified

but
entertained
.
By
them
we
haue
our
conuersation
in
heauen
.
By
them
we
walke
not
after
the

but
after
the
Spirit

And
by

we
haue
our
intestine
battels

victories
against
the

of
the

Lusts
naturall
.
LVsts
naturall
,
Lusts
naturall
what
they
are

are
such
as
are
common
to
all
,
both
to
those
that
are
Christs
,
and
to
those
that
are
not
Christs
.
And
are
such
as
meerly
nature
prescribeth
,
(
nature
I
vnderstand
in
so
farre
as
it
is
not
vitiate
)
as
the
lusting
for
things
lawfull
,
necessarie
,
moderate
,
they
are
more
to
be
called
naturall
desires
then
lusts
:
and
are
in
themselues
indifferent
.
As
those
lusts
are
that
concerne
the
lawfull
vse
of
meate
and
drinke
,
and
such
things
as
appertaine
to
the
necessitie
and
honestie
of
this
life
.
These
lusts
are
not
to
be
crucified
,
but
moderate
.
23.
Lusts
sinfull
.
LVsts
spirituall
are
proper

those
that
are

Lusts
sinfull
are
proper
to
those
that
are
not
Christs
.
Lusts
sinfull
,
are
those
,
that
they

haue
crucified
.
Lust
is
taken
sometimes
generally
,
Sinfull
lust
twofold
.
for
originall
sinne
and
naturall
corruption
;
and
then
it
is
all
one
with
the
flesh
.
Sometimes
it
is
taken
more
specially
,
for
those
sinfull
desires
that
do
spring
from
our
flesh
and
corruption
;
and
are
stirred
vp
,
and
set
forward
by
wicked
affections
;
and
are
practised
by
the
members
of

The

are
two

To

,
To
crucifie
,
what
it
is
.
is
a
metaphorical
phrase
,
alluding
vnto
the
crucifying
of
the
body
of
any
one
that
is
condemned
to
die
,
by
that
form
of
death
of
malefactors
:
or
because
it
must
bee
according
to
the
similitude
of
Christs
crucifying
,
Rom.
6.5
.
Or
most
of
all
,
because
it
must
be
done
by
that
vertue
that
is
in
the
Crosse
of
Christ
,
and
communicated
to
vs
by
the
Spirit

For
if
we
be
planted
with
him
vnto
the
similitude
of
his
death
:
euen
so
shall
wee
be
vnto
the
similitude
of
his
resurrection
:
knowing
this
,
that
our
old
man
is
crucified
with
him
,
that
the
body
of
sinne
might
be
destroyed
,
that

The

This
crucifying

importeth
necessarily
the

part
of

The
crucifying

How
the
internall

are
to
be
crucified

THe
crucifying
of

vnion

:
The
crucifying
of
the
flesh
depends
on
Christs
vnion
with
vs
:
our
vnion
with
Christ
,
is
by
faith
,
Eph.
3.17
.
By
faith
he
is
ours
,
and
we
are
his
.
By
faith
we
apprehend
in
Christs
death
and
Crosse
,
both
merit
and
vertue
.
By
the
merit
of
his
Crosse
wee
are
iustified
:
by
the
vertue
of
his
Crosse
we
doe
crucifie
our
flesh
.
And
on
the
power
of
his
Crosse
.
The
power
of
his
Crosse
is
effectuall
in
vs
,
by
the
secret
operation
of
his
holy
Spirit
:
so
that
our

is
crucified
with

We

Hatred
of

how
wrought
in

and
a
thankefulnesse
to
Christ
.
A
disdainfulnesse
at
sinne
,
is
conceiued
in
the
consideration
of
Christs
Crosse
:
when
as
wee
thinke
earnestly
vpon
Christ
,
so
innocent
,
and
so
great
in
dignity
,
&c.
and
vpon
his
Crosse
so
cursed
,
so
shamefull
,
and
so
painfull
;
accompanied
with
the
most
horrible
sence
of
Gods
anger
;
we
conceiue
a
detestation
and
hatred
at
sinne
,
being
so
infinite
and
great
an
euill
in
it selfe
,
that
it
could
no
otherwise
bee
expiated
,
but
by
the
facred
blood
of
the
most
High
God
,
Act.
20.28
.
And
hereupon
wee
are
moued
more
and
more
,
both
to
disdaine
it
,
and
to
dis-haunt
it
;
yea
,
by
time
to
kill
it
,
and
to
bury
it
,
that
it
haue
no
more
power
in
vs
to
raigne
in
our
mortall
bodies
.
A
great
poynt
of
thankfulnesse
to
Christ
is
likewise
conceiued
,
Thankfulnesse
how
wrought

in
the
right
meditation
of

Wee
see
in
Christs

the
most
excellent
benefit
of

the

of

Leade

Crucifie

At

lift

How
the
externall
flesh
,
and
body
is
to
be
crucified
?
TO
crucify
the
flesh
,
What
it
is
to
crucifie
the
body
.
is
not
to
put
violent
hands
into
the
body
;
as
did
Achitophel
and
Iudas
.
Neither
is
it
,
to
plague
it
with
needlesse
and
superstitious
austerities
;
of
watchings
,
fastings
,
nakednes
,
pilgrimages
,
scurgings
,
&c.
As
parts
of
that
Papisticall
penall-satisfaction
for
appeasing
of
diuine
wrath
:
which
things
haue
indeede
a
shew
of
wisedome
,
in
a
voluntary
religion
,
and
humblenesse
of
minde
,
and
in
not
sparing
the
body
,
Col.
2.23
.
But
to
crucify
the
bodily
flesh
,
is
to
abstaine
from
all
things
,
so
farre
as
it
may
serue
to
obtain
that
incorruptible
crowne
:
To
beat
down
the
body
,
and
to
bring
it
to
subiection
,

If
wee
giue
the
body
too
much
,
we
feede
a
foe
:
if
too
little
,
wee
kill
a
friend
.
The
necessitie
of
the
body
(
not
the
superfluitie
)
is
to
bee
regarded
.
It
must
serue
and
not
command
:
The
seruant
must
not
bee
preferred
to
the
Master
.
It
is
a
shame
to
any
to
be
a
slaue
to
his
owne
body
.
Euery
one
should
say
with
himselfe

haue
such

his

Whilest
thou
liuest
in

liue
not
for
the

:
Hold
it
vnder
obedience

If
it
be

it
will
repine

To
crucifie
the
flesh
,
&c.
is
with
difficultie
and
paine
.
THe
word
it self
(
crucifie
)
sheweth
that
this
worke
cannot
bee
without
difficultie
and
paine
.
And
as
it
is
not
done
in
one
moment
,
so
it
is
not
done
with
a
wish
.
There
must
bee
a
labour
,
a
businesse
,
a
trauell
in
the
dolours
of
the
new
birth
.
Such
two
old
intire
friends
,
as
is
the
Flesh
,
The
crucifyng
of
the
flesh
beginneth
at
sorrow
for
sin
.
and
the
Spirit
,
cannot
part
company
,
without
teares
.
The
olde
man
cannot
bee
mortified
,
without
the
sorrow
of
a
contrite
spirit
.
The
fore-skinne
of
our
flesh
cannot
be
circumcised
,
without
some
sense
of
secret
griefe
.
We
cannot
be
deliuered
of
our
false
conception
of
that
bodie
of
sinne
,
without
some
manifest
dolour
.
If
thou
wouldest
therfore
rightly
attempt
the
crucifying
of
the
flesh
,
Admonition
.
&c.
thou
must
begin
at
a
humbled
heart
:
thou
must
sow
in
teares
,
that
thou
maist
reape
in
ioy
:
Psal
.
126.5
.
Thou
must
not
thinke
to
flie
the
wrestlings
,
without
a
wounded
conscience
.
Thou
must
sorrow
to
Godward
:
and
suffer
some
secret
pangs
of
the
sense
of
thy
owne
sins
,
and
Gods
wrath
:
and
of
battels
betwixt
the
flesh
and
the
Spirit
.
Thou
must
lament
before
the
Lord
;
that
thou
hast
been
so
long
in
beginning
to
crucifie
the
flesh
.
Thou
wilt
find
many
secret
perplexities
in
parting
with
thy
domesticke
gods
,
thy
fond
affections
&
lusts
.
Whosoeuer
haue
not
found
within
themselues
,
these
secret
terrors
,
dolours
and
battels
,
as
yet
they
haue
not
knowne
,
nor
felt
what
it
is
to
crucifie
the
flesh
,
&c.
But
here
is
thy
comfort
;
Comfort
.
If
thou
hast
crucified
that
old
man
,
thy
sorrow
shall
be
turned
to
ioy
,
thy
battels
to
peace
:
and
thy
terrors
to
comforts
,
which
are
vnspeakable
and
glorious
.

Who
doe
crucifie
the
flesh
?
SOme
do
cherish
their
flesh
,
Only
they
that
are
true
Christians
doe
crucifie
the
flesh
.
affections
and
lusts
,
as
the
Epicure
.
Some
doe
crosse
a
little
their
flesh
&
affections
,
as
the
Moralist
.
Some
doe
curse
them
,
as
the
desperate
.
The
Hypocrite
may
couer
or
colour
his
flesh
and
affections
,
but
hee
cannot
crucifie
them
.
But
none
doe
crucifie
them
,
but
they
that
are
Christs
.
It
is
one
thing
to
restraine
or
bridle
the
flesh
and
the
lusts
,
and
another
thing
to
crucifie
them
.
Only
a
true
Christian
,
who
is
Christs
indeed
,
doth
truly
crucifie
his
corruption
and
lusts
.
It
may
be
said
to
him
,
as
the
Angell
said
to
Gedeon
:
The
Lord
is
with
thee
,
thou
valiant
man
,
Iudg
.
6.12
.
The
sword
of
the
Lord
and
of
Gedeon
against
Iericho
,
Iudg
.
7.20
.
So
,
The
sword
of
the
Spirit
,
and
of
a
Christian
against
sinne
,
to
crucifie
the
flesh
and
the
lusts
,
&c.
Many
poynts
of
our
fleshly
corruption
;
many
lusts
and
affections
may
lie
long
hid
and
sleeping
within
men
;
because
they
want
occasion
of
obiects
and
tentations
to
stir
them
and
awake
them
.
But
this
sleeping
of
affections
,
is
not
the
crucifying
of
affections
.
Onely
those
that
are
Christs
,
doe
crucifie
the
flesh
,
with
the
affections
and
lusts
.
30.
Who
crucifie
them
not
?
They
that
are
not
Christs
cannot
crucifie
the
flesh
.
WHosoeuer
are
not
Christs
they
cannot
crucifie
the
flesh
;
they
haue
neither
seeing
eyes
,
nor
feeling
hearts
,
to
perceiue
their
flesh
and
affections
.
Without
Christ
,
they
can
doe
nothing
:
without
Christ
,
they
are
meerly
naturall
,
sensuall
,
carnall
,
and
in
great
confederacy
with
their
lusts
and
flesh
.
Their
amity
and
wisedome
,
is
enmity
against
God
:
the
body
cannot
liue
without
the
head
:
the
branch
cannot
beare
fruit
without
the
tree
:
the
house
cannot
stand
without
the
cornerstone
:
no
more
can
they
that
are
without
Christ
,
crucifie
their
flesh
,
affections
&
lusts
.
They
are
enemies
of
Christs
Crosse
,
whose
end
is
damnation
,
whose
God
is
their
belly
,
and
whose
glory
is
to
their
shame
;
which
minde
earthly
things
,
Phil
.
3.19
.
They
that
are
without
Christ
,
To
restraine
sinne
,
is
not
to
crucifie
sinne
.
may
hide
sin
and
restraine
sinne
:
but
cannot
crucifie
sin
.
Many
corruptions
may
bee
lurking
within
them
,
and
as
yet
not
awaked
.
Many
I
haue
seen
walking
,
eating
,
drinking
,
going
abroad
,
attending
their
affaires
,
their
mirth
,
&
their
pastime
:
and
yet
hauing
within
their
body
with
many
secret
sleeping
obstructions
,
corruptions
,
shirrouses
,
malignities
,
ready
to
be
impregnat
and
stirred
vp
,
and
to
become
most
painfull
,
dangerous
and
deadly
diseases
.
So
may
those
that
are
without
Christ
haue
their
flesh
,
affections
and
lusts
in
many
poynts
,
lying
in
a
drowsinesse
,
and
brought
asleepe
for
a
time
:
this
is
not
to
haue
the
flesh
in
any
wise
crucified
.
They
may
haue
their
flesh
and
affections
restrained
:
their
office
,
education
,
imitation
,
affection
,
feare
,
ingenuity
of
nature
,
infancy
,
age
,
sexe
,
morall
vertues
,
and
the
generall
and
common
repressing
gifts
of
the
Spirit
,
may
bridle
their
flesh
and
lusts
in
many
degrees
:
and
yet
neuer
a
whit
truly
crucified
.
Admonition
.
Let
vs
not
therefore
thinke
our selues
the
more
happy
,
or
the
more
to
be
Christs
:
for
all
our
simple
restraint
of
sinne
,
conformity
of
Christian
manners
,
stopping
of
grosser
sinnes
,
ciuill
or
morall
carriage
,
faire
and
seemly
fashions
,
vnlesse
by
the
vertue
of
Christs
Crosse
we
doe
mortifie
sinne
at
the
root
:
and
except
wee
finde
sensible
,
that
nothing
in
this
whole
world
moues
vs
more
to
crucifie
sin
,
and
beate
downe
any
corruption
or
lust
in
vs
;
as
the
speciall
consideration
of
the
power
of
Christs
crosse
.
31.
How
farre
can
the
flesh
,
&c.
be
crucified
?
THe
body
may
most
of
all
be
easily
crucified
,
It
is
easier
to
crucifie
the
body
,
than
the
lusts
:
and
the
lusts
,
than
the
affections
.
by
beating
it
downe
,
and
holding
it
vnder
some
obedience
of
abstinence
and
austerity
,
&
weaning
it
from
many
delights
.
Lusts
againe
are
more
easily
crucified
than
affections
;
because
they
are
more
neere
the
externall
body
,
and
actions
thereof
:
affections
againe
hardlier
are
crucified
than
lusts
.
But
the
flesh
it selfe
,
The
internall
flesh
is
most
hardly
crucified
.
that
body
of
death
,
and
sin
,
most
hardly
of
all
:
for
it
is
the
strong
root
,
out
of
the
which
the
rest
doth
spring
vp
.
And
yet
none
of
all
these
can
be
truly
crucified
,
vnlesse
they
al
bee
crucified
in
some
true
measure
&
degree
.
Many
branches
of
our
lusts
haue
been
cut
,
and
yet
spring
againe
:
many
quenched
,
yet
kindled
againe
:
many
affections
subdued
,
yet
rebelling
againe
:
because
the
root
(
the
flesh
)
hath
yet
neuer
bin
rightly
rooted
out
.
The
flesh
can
neuer
bee
fully
and
perfectly
crucified
,
The
flesh
cannot
bee
perfectly
crucified
.
so
long
as
we
are
in
this
tabernacle
of
clay
.
They
that
are
Christs
,
must
not
bee
tryed
by
perfect
sanctification
.
Sinne
will
remain
,
though
not
raign
.
Wee
must
see
and
feele
our
corruption
,
but
not
walke
after
it
:
yet
while
wee
are
disclaiming
it
,
it
will
bee
disquieting
vs
;
and
while
wee
are
mourning
for
it
,
it
will
still
be
marring
vs.
And
although
Sarah
and
Hagar
bee
dwelling
in
the
house
of
Abraham
,
Hagar
must
bee
subiect
to
Sarah
;
or
else
both
Hagar
&
her
children
must
bee
cast
out
,
Gen.

When
doe
we
crucifie
the
flesh
,
&
c
?
IT
is
once
truly
begun
,
Our
whole
life
should
be
a
crucifying
of
sinne
.
but
neuer
in
this
life
fully
finished
.
For
as
the
inward
man
is
renued
daily
,
2.
Cor
.
4.16
.
So
the
outward
man
(
the
flesh
)
is
crucified
daily
.
And
although
the
Apostle
vseth
the
praeterit
time
,
wherby
he
vnderstandeth
the
true
beginning
of
this
worke
:
yet
so
long
as
wee
liue
,
the
continuall
practice
of
it
remaines
,
and
shall
not
bee
finished
vntill
death
.
The
mortified
Romanes
are
still
exhorted
to
mortifie
the
lusts
of
the
body
,
Rom.

The
renued
Ephesians
and
Colossians
are
willed
to
doe
the
same
,
Ephes
.
4.22
.
Col.
3.8
.
We
must
still
be
doing
this
work
,
wee
must
crucifie
the
flesh
,
and
crucifie
it
againe
.
Admonition
.
Let
vs
be
doing
this
euer
without
intermission
.
There
will
euer
remaine
some
parts
of
the
root
of
sinne
;
out
of
the
which
,
some
new
&
noysome
branches
will
spring
out
,
vnlesse
we
be
stil
crucifying
:
vntill
the
time
we
see
God
face
to
face
,
we
wil
euer
see
another
law
in
our
members
,
repugning
against
the
law
of
our
mind
,
Rom.
7.23
.
Against
the
which
we
must
haue
a
continuall
battell
;
which
also
by
the
power
of
Gods
Spirit
wee
must
be
still
crucifying
;
and
continually
wee
must
endeuour
,
Our
imperfection
.
that
as
the
flesh
and
the
Spirit
(
our
vnregenerate
and
regenerate
parts
)
are
neuer
fully
sundred
:
they
both
concurre
in
place
and
action
:
they
are
mixed
through
all
,
and
in
all
our
naturall
faculties
and
actions
;
whereby
all
our
best
workes
are
imperfect
.
So
I
say
,
wee
should
endeuour
so
to
crucifie
the
flesh
,
that
the
Spirit
may
haue
the
preeminence
in
all
things
;
although
with
some
opposition
,
and
contagion
of
the
flesh
,
1.
Ioh
.
5.45
.
Hereof
it
followeth
,
that
both
we
,
and
all
our
best
workes
are
but
imperfectly
good
;
Our
perfection
.
yet
wee
are
acceptable
before
God
,
through
Iesus
Christ
,
1.
Pet
.
2.5
.
All
our
perfection
is
but
either
comparatiue
,
being
compared
with
the
vngodly
;
or
imputatiue
,
being
ours
in
Christ
;
or
inchoatiue
,
being
begun
by
the
Spirit
:
or
affectiue
,
more
in
the
affection
,
than
effectiue
in
action
.
33.
Why
must
the
flesh
,
&c.
be
crucified
?
BVt
what
?
may
wee
not
be
Christs
,
and
doe
as
we
please
?
what
need
is
there
,
to
those
that
are
Christs
,
to
crucifie
the
flesh
?
May
we
not
turne
the
grace
of
God
to
wantonnesse
?
may
wee
not
sinne
,
that
grace
may
abound
?
Is
there
such
a
necessity
that
wee
must
crucifie
the
flesh
?
Truly
a
necessity
lieth
vpon
vs
,
To
crucifie
the
flesh
,
&c.
a
thing
most
necessary
.
to
crucifie
the
flesh
;
for
vnlesse
we
kill
sinne
,
it
will
kill
vs.
The

if

Who

Who

willingly
keepe

and
not

Our
flesh
and
affections
and
lusts
,
must
either
bring
on
vs
an
eternall
curse
,
or
else
we
must
in
time
crucifie
them
.
We
must
consume
all
those
,
which
the
Lord
our
God
doth
giue
vs
to
consume

And
if
our

which

)
intice
vs
secretly
to
sin
,
our
eye
should
not
pitie
him

euen
kill
him
.
This
was
an
ordinance
to
the
people
of

,
to
saue

from
offending
of

This

in

A
conclusion
for
those
that
are
Christs
.
HEre
is
the
dignitie
&
dutie
of
a
Christian
described
.
His
dignitie
,
is
to
bee
Christs
.
His
dutie
is
,
to
crucifie
the
flesh
.
Many
sorts
of
false
Christians
.
As
for
the
Christian
dignitie
:
Many
carry
the
name
of
a
Christian
to
their
condemnation
;
because
they
will
not
be
truly
Christs
to
their
owne
saluation
.
Many
haue
the
face
and
the
mouth
of
a
Christian
;
but
neither
the
heart
nor
hand
of
a
Christian
.
Some
are
enemies
to
Christ
,
open
or
secret
.
Some
are
Christs
,
onely
in
shew
;
but
not
in
substance
:
in
appearance
onely
,
and
not
so
in
effect
.
Some
are
but
almost
his
,
with
Agrippa
,
Act.

and
not

of

,

the
discreet
Scribe

Mark

.
Some
intend
to
become
Christs
:
and
are
onely
his
in
a
naked
purpose
,
but
not
in
practice
.
The
false
Christian
described
.
Some
would
be
Christs
,
but
not
peremptorily
:
onely
with
reseruations
,
and
certaine
conditions
:
To
crucifie
their
flesh
or
to
deny
themselues
,
they
would
haue
excepted
:
If
,
to
forsake
the
worlds
vanities
,
customes
,
abuses
,
and
sinfull
fashions
were
permitted
:
and
if
to
shun
all
crosses
,
and
become
a
temporizer
,
were
things
tolerable
and
indifferent
.
They
would
be
Christs
,
if
the
word
,
repentance
,
faith
,
conscience
,
and
all
pietie
,
were
subordinate
to
their
humour
;
or
might
stand
without
preiudice
of
their
fleshly
affections
,
and
lusts
.
All
,
almost
will
doe
violence
to
the
kingdom
of
God
,
and
will
be
Christs
,
vntill
it
come
to
the
swine
of
their
lusts
,
with
the
Gadarenes
,

8.37

then

must
depart

The
sacrilegious
,
the
adulterers
,
the
enuious
,
ambitious
,
malicious
,
auaricious
,
&c.
will
bee
Christs
,
they
will
serue
two
masters
,
erect
two
opposite
Kingdomes
within
them
,
Gods
and
Satans
.
They
will
haue
their
light
to
haue
a
communion
with
darknesse
:
And
Christ
to
bee
in
concord
with
Belial
,

.
But
(
alas
)
are
not
all
these
strongly
deluded
?
They
deceiue
themselues
in
their
own
imagination
:
thinking
with
themselues
to
be
something
,
when
they
are
nothing
,
and
worse
then
nothing
,
Gal.
6.3
.
And
many
(
if
they
had
the
occasion
and
meanes
)
with
all
the
nerues
of
their
hart
,
would
aspire
to
become
great
in
the
world
:
But
who
doth
take
thought
to
attaine
to
the
greatest
good
,
Very
few
are
true
Christians
.
&
best
greatnesse
,
to
bee
Christs
?
Wee
see
our
calling
,
how
that
not
many
wise
,
not
many
mightie
,
not
many
noble
(
yet
some
)
are
called
.
But
God
hath
chosen
the
worlds
foolish
,
weake
,
vile
,
and
naughtie
things
,
to
confound
the
wise
,
mightie
,
precious
&
worthy
things
thereof
,
1.
Cor
.
1.26
.
Earthly
prerogatiues
are
in
price
:
worldly
dignities
are
hunted
after
.
But
who
doth
regard
that
most
excellent
prerogatiue
;
To
be
the
sonnes
of
God
,
Ioh

?
And
that
their

The
most
part
therefore
see
not
their
miserie
,
and
feare
not
that
condemnation
that
hangeth
aboue
their
heads
.
Let
vs
aboue
al
things
endeuour
to
become
Christs
truly
and
constantly
.
An
exhortation
that
men
may
become
true
Christians
.
Let
vs
esteeme
it
the
highest
dignitie
,
the
greatest

,
the
sweetest

,
the
surest
peace
,
and
the
most
vnspeakable
&
glorious
ioy
to
be
Christs
.
Without
him
,
thy
blessings
are
curses
;
thy
light
is
darknesses
;
thy
glory
is
but
shame
;
thy
life
is
but
a
death
;
and
all
thy
hope
is
perdition
.
But
if
thou
be
Christs
,
thou
thy self
and
all
that
thou
hast
,
is
blessed
:
thy
crosses
are
for
thy
good
;
all
things
are
thine
,
and
for
thy
comfort
.
With
a
cheerfull
heart
(
filled
with
the
ioy
of
the
holy
Spirit
)
thou
maist
look
downe
to
thy
sinnes
,
as
pardoned
:
looke
vp
to
God
,
as
reconciled
:
look
into
thy self
,
as
the
heire
of
God
:
and
looke
vp
to
heauen
,
as
thy
dwelling
place
and
endlesse
paradise
:
and
finally
,
delight
thy selfe
more
in
this
,
that
thou
art
Christs
,
thē
in

So

that

so

so
liue

A
conclusion
for
the
crucifying
the
flesh
,
&c.
AS
for
the
duty
of
a
Christian
(
the
crucifying
of
the
flesh
)
the
most
part

farre
from
Impediments
that

the
crucifying

poynt
.
They
are
so
sunke
deepe
in
rebellion
,
Isa

31.6
.
so
accustomed
to
euill
,
that
they
can
do
no
good
:
they
cannot
change
their
Morian
blacknesse
,
nor
Leopard
spots
,

They
are
past
feeling
,
&
senselesly
doe
boyle
in
their
lusts
&
affections
,
Eph.
4.18
.
They
are
like
the

,
that

at
her
pleasure

Some
doe

their

,
Diuerssorts
of
the
false
crucifying
of
the
flesh
,

affections
and
lusts
,
vnder
hypocrisie
.
Some
doe
restraine
them
at
times
by
some
occasions
and
respects
.
Some
doe
entertaine
them
within
,
and
keep
them
in
,
from
breaking
forth
into
capitall
&
groser
impieties
:
as
into
murther
,
adultery
,
incest
,
theft
,
&c.
yet
they
permit
them
to
haue
a
full
vent
vnto
lesser
sins
:
as
vnto

enuy

The

doth
crucifie

We
can
suffer
nothing
that

our
name
,
our
goods
,
or
persons
;
no
delightfull
obiects
are
refrained
;
no
tentations
are
resisted

It
is
a
shame
to
see
what
slaues
we
are
to
our selues
,
and
what
obedience
wee
giue
to
sin
vnto
death
,
Rom.
6.16
.
&
how
far
the
flesh
,
affections
and
lusts
doe
crucifie
vs
,
and
wee
not
them
.
Beside
that
,
our
affections
&
lusts
breed
vs
many
incurable
and
dangerous
diseases
,
and
make
much
disquietnes
to
the
mind
;
they
produce
the
greatest
wickednesses
vnnatural
cruelties
and
vilenesse
,
and
procure
endlesse
wrath
to
themselues
:
whose
end
is
damnation
,
whose
God
is
their
belly

and
whose
glory
is
to
their
shame
,
which
minde

exhortation
to
crucifie
the
flesh
.
Phil
.
3.19
.
If
wee
bee
therefore
Christs
,
or
would
become
Christs
:
Let
vs
condemne
our selues
,
that
we
haue
walked
so
vnworthy
of
him
,
and
for
that
we
haue
preferred
our
flesh
and
lusts
to
him
,
and
giuen
too
great
a
testimony
that
we
are
not
Christs
.
If
we
be
Christs
,
let
vs
account
him
deare
to
vs
,
as
we
are
to
him
.
Let
vs
apply
his
death
and
crosse
to
our
harts
;
that
as
by
the
merit
thereof
wee
get
our
sins
pardoned
;
so
by
the
vertue
of
the
same
wee
may
haue
thē
also
mortified
.
Look
vpon
him
whom
thou
hast
pierced
,
&
lament
for
him
,
as
one
mourneth
for
his
onely
sonne
;
and
bee
sory
for
him
,
as
one
is
for
his
first
borne

And
so
detest
sinne
to
the
death
:
feare
Gods
wrath
,
reioice
greatly
in
thy
ransome
,
and
in
nothing
more
;
and
let
this
ioy
stir
vp
thy

both
to
crucifie
thy
flesh
,
&
the

to
thy selfe
