6 The burying of the old man, is also an effect of the spiritual application of Christs burial, whereby, our old man, being already wounded by that deadly stroke, dieth by little and little, until at the length, after the death of this body, it be brought to nothing: For as the burial of the body, is a going forward of death; so also, the burying of the old man, is nothing else, but a continuance, still proceeding further and further, of that mortification which went before.
6 The burying of the olde man, is also an effect of the spirituall application of Christs buriall, whereby, our olde man, being alreadie wounded by that deadly stroke, dieth by little and little, vntill at the length, after the death of this bodie, it be brought to nothing: For as the buriall of the bodie, is a going forward of death; so also, the burying of the olde man, is nothing els, but a continuance, still proceeding further and further, of that mortification which went before.
7 The raising again of the new man, is also an effect of the spiritual application of the resurrection of Christ; whereby it cometh to pass, that the new man is raised up in us, that is, that the qualities of our mind (to wit, our understanding and will) are renewed unto true holiness of life.
7 The raising againe of the new man, is also an effect of the spiritual aplication of the resurrection of Christ; wherby it commeth to passe, that the new man is raised vp in vs, that is, that the qualities of our minde (to wit, our vnderstanding and will) are renued vnto true holines of life.
8 These being renewed by faith, poured into us, though all the time of our being here; we do but in a sort understand, and will the things that are of God: yet nevertheless, our works which belong unto Gods service, are favourably accepted by his Majesty, as proceeding from Christ, living and working in us by the holy Ghost.
