This life and death is wrought in us by Christ: who at one blow slew our sins, and saved our souls. Una eademque manus vulnus opemque tulit. One and the same hand gave the wound and the cure. Vulneratur concupiscentia, sanatur conscientia. The deadly blow to the concupiscence, hath revived the conscience. For Christ takes away as well (dominandi vim, as damnandi vim) the dominion of sin, as the damnation of sin. He died, that ^ssin might not reign in our mortal body, he came to ^tdestroy, not only the Devil, but the works of the Devil. Hence if you would, with the spectacles of the Scriptures, read your own estates to God, ^uReckon your selves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. This trial consists not in being free from lusts, but in bridling them: not in scaping tentation, but in vanquishing it. It is enough, that ^xin all these things, we are more then Conquerors, through him that loved us.
