Lastly, let us labour that Christ may be manifested in our particular flesh, in our persons. As he was God manifest in the flesh, in regard of that blessed Mass he took upon him; so we would every one labour, to have God manifest in our flesh.

1How is that?
- 1Question.
1We must have Christ (as it were borne in us) formed in us, 2as the Apostle speaks. Certainly, the same Spirit that sanctified Christ, doth sanctify every member of Christ; and Christ is in some sort begotten, and conceived, and manifested in every one that is a Christian. We must labour, that Christ may be manifest in our understandings, in our affections; that he may be manifest to us, and conceived (as it were) in us, as S. Pauls phrase is, That the life of Christ may be made manifest in our mortal flesh: The life and Spirit of Christ, must be manifest in every true Christian; and their flesh must be sanctified by the same Spirit that Christs flesh was sanctified ⟨p. 69⟩withal. As Christs flesh was first sanctified, and then abased, and then glorious; so the flesh of every Christian must be content to be abased, as the flesh of Christ was to serve Christ, to be conformable to Christ, in our abased flsh. And let us not make too much of this flesh of ours, that shall turn to rottenness ere long; it must be gracious sanctified flesh, as Christs was, and then glorious flesh. Christ must be manifest in our flesh, as he was in his own; that when a man sees a Christian, he may see Christ manifest in him.
