II. Christ liueth and worketh in men regenerate.

:502p. 157

For with the Apostle we confess that Christ liveth in us, ¹that are regenerate by his spirit, and liveth not idly, but worketh, both that we may will, and that we may perform; for the great love that he beareth unto us, and by his spirit doth help our infirmities.

For with the Apostle we cōfesse that Christ liueth in vs, ¹that are regenerate by his spirit, and liueth not idelie, but worketh, both that vvee may will, and that wee may performe; for the great loue that he beareth vnto vs, and by his spirite doth help our infirmities.

II. Christ liveth and worketh in men regenerate.

II. Christ liueth and worketh in men regenerate.

III. A regenerate man, in matters pertaining to the sensible and humaine life, doth beare himselfe better then one not regenerate, and therefore is more free.

IV. Likewise in getting the moral virtues, a regenerate man is freer, and of more force then the unregenerate.

IV. Likewise in getting the morall vertues, a regenerate man is freer, and of more force then the vnregenerate.

V. Unto such things as are of God, and pertain to his kingdom, only the regenerate man is by the holy ghost enlightened, inclined & wrought, to the understanding, choosing, and performing them.

V. Ʋnto such things as are of God, and pertaine to his kingdome, onely the regenerate man is by the holy ghost enlightened, inclined & wrought, to the vnderstanding, choosing, and performing them.

VI. A regenerate man is not only wrought, but also worketh by the holy spirit.

VI. A regenerate man is not onely vvrought, but also worketh by the holy spirite.

VII. The power of free choice in the regenerate is yet weak: so that we have still need of the help of God, neither can we do all that we would.

VII. The povver of free choise in the regenerate is yet weake: so that vve haue still neede of the help of God, neither can we do all that we would.

VIII. That God so governeth the minds and wills of the godly, that in the very conflict of temptations and of the flesh, he suffereth them not altogether to fall from him.

VIII. That God so gouerneth the mindes and wills of the godly, that in the very conflict of tēptations and of the flesh, he suffreth them not altogether to fall from him.
