To dye to the Lord is ⟨p. 106⟩to know and acknowledge that Christ hath power over us when we dye, thereupon to submit our selves to him, and not to murmur and fret, when he comes to call for our life and soul, as if we were unwilling to part with them.

Then again to dye to Christ is when upon any good occasion, he calls for our lives, in standing for a good cause, for the Church or state, to be ready to lay it down; there is not the least tittle of truth, but it is better than a mans life, a man may not only dye, in case of martyrdom, but in case of justice and truth, and so ⟨p. 107⟩he must be willing to do, if he will dye to Christ.
