Mortification is the first part of repentance which concernes turning from sinne.
Men turn from sin, when they do not only abstain from actual sin, but also use all means whereby they may both weaken & suppress the corruption of nature. Surgeons, when they must cut of any part of the body, use to lay play sters to it, to mortify it, that being without sense and feeling, it may be cut off with less pain. In the same manner, we are to use all helps & remedies prescribed in the word, which serve to weaken or kill sin, that in death it may be abolished.
