THE DOCTRINE OF SELF-DENIAL.
THE DOCTRINE OF SELFE-DENIALL.
We have formerly propounded three things unto you; the first was, to show you what we are out of CHRIST; and that is, we are dead men: the second is, what we gain by CHRIST: and ⟨p. 186⟩that is, Life eternal, with all things belonging to it; and these two we have finished▪ the third is, what we must do for CHRIST; And that is, We must deny our selves, take up Christs Cross and follow him: and for this end I have chosen this Text. And he said unto them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his Cross daily, and follow me. As if he should have said, all expecting any benefit from me now, I look for this from them again, to deny themselves, to take up my daily cross, and follow me.
