Raiseth and quickeneth.] To phrases, implying one thing, as appears in the other cause, where but one is expressed, yet not in vain is that of quickening added. For first, it shows, that they were dead, and so unable to help themselves. Secondly, that he raiseth them not as stocks and stones, but with the raising puts life into them; which amplifies the benefits. Some take this raising of the dead to be meant of Christs miracles, in raising of the dead, but that is to much to restrain it only to that: wherefore hereby is implied, first, a Spiritual quickening from the death of Sin, at our conversion. Secondly, a corporal quickening, the raising of our bodies out of the graves at the last Day; now if we will refer the miracles of Christ unto this, as evidences and proofs of what he was able to do at the last Day.
