But now, before the Spirit of life in Christ come to free me; I, and ⟨p. 43⟩Christ must be one, there must be an union between me and Christ, I must be a member of Christ mystical. For as Christ quickened his own body, every joint when it was dead, because it was his body: so he quickens his mystical body, every member of it: but I must be a member first, I must not be my self, severed from Christ. 1Therefore the Law of the Spirit of life, which is in Christ, the first thing it doth, (next to impetration, and obtaining of happiness) it works application; for these two go together, impetration and application. Christ by his death obtained all good, and by his resurrection he declared it: but there must be an application to me. Now this Spirit of life which is in Christ, which quickened him, and raised him up; (and all for my good) must apply this to me.
