Sanctification hath two parts: Mortification, and Vivification.
Sanctification hath two parts: Mortification, and Viuification.
The mortification of •inne, is the first part of sanctification, whereby the power of sin is abated, and crucified in the faithful. Rom. 6.2. How shall we that are dead to sin, live yet therein? 3. Know ye not that all we which have been baptized into Jesus Christ, have been baptized into his death? 4. We are buried then with him by baptism into his death, that like as Christ was raised up from the dead, by the glory of the father, so we also should walk in newness of life. Eccles. 5.6, 7, 11, 12, 13. Galat. 5.24. They which are Christs ha•e crucified the flesh, with the affections and lusts thereof.
