7 The ends of this burial are manifold: For first of all Christ would therefore be buried, that he might be declared to be truly dead. 2. That he might pursue death, flying as it were, unto her innermost den. 3. That he might make our burial smell of the lively savour of his death, and so drive away from us the horror of the grave. 4 That by this means, he might leave a sure testimony of the resurrection.
7 The endes of this buriall are manifolde: For first of al Christ would therefore be buried, that he might be declared to be truly dead. 2. That he might persue death, fliing as it were, vnto her innermost denne. 3. That hee might make our buriall smell of the liuelie sauour of his death, and so driue away from vs the horror of the graue. 4 That by this meanes, hee might leaue a sure testimonie of the resurection.
8 The effect of the Burial of Christ, is first of all this; that as dying, he overcame death, and pursued this victory of ⟨p. 117⟩his, that he might deliver his body from the effect of death, that is, from being turned unto dust: even so, by the same power of his, he might bring the bodies of his members, unto eternal incorruption. The other is, that even as the burial of that body, which was assumed into for us, a spiritual & an eternal life, was a certain continuance of death, so is it unto us a pledge of the spiritual death of the old man, dying in us by little and little: in which respect we are said in Baptism to be buried with him into his death.

The other is, that euen as the burial of that bodie, which was assumed into for vs, a spiritual & an aeternall life, was a certaine cōtinuance of death, so is it vnto vs a pledge of the spirituall death of the olde man, dying in vs by litle and little: in which respect we are said in Baptisme to be buried with him into his death.
