For euen as the braunch can draw no liuelie sapp from the vine, ¹nor the bough from the tree, nor the members anie motion, sence, or ⟨p. 77⟩life from the head, vnlesse, they be ioyned to the vine & tree, and these to the head: euen so cannot men receiue anie saluation or life from Christ, (in whome onelie it consisteth) vnlesse they be grafted into him, & coupled in a true and reall vnion, and being coupled doe abide in him.
