And the fellowship of his sufferings] This fellowship notes two things: First, A participation in the benefits of his Sufferings; Secondly, A Conformity of ours to his. First, His aSufferings are Ours; we were buried and Crucified with him, and that again notes two things. First, we communicate in the Price of Christs Death, covering the guilt of sin, satisfying the wrath of God, and being an Expiation and propitiation for us. Secondly, in the bPower of his Death, cleansing our Consciences from dead works, mortifying our earthly members, crucifying our old man, subduing our iniquities and corruptions, pulling down the throne of Satan, spoiling him of all his armour, and destroying the works of the Devil. And this power worketh, first, by the prophetical office of Christ, Revealing; secondly, by his Regal office, applying and reaching forth the power of his blood to subdue sin, as it had before triumphed over death and Satan.
