That it is called the new man, as that which maketh a man a new, though he be but young: & though ⟨p. 188⟩he be an old man, yet by this means an old man is made a new man, if he have piety and godliness in him, it maketh him to flourish and bud again; though his hand fail him, yet if he have the hand of faith, if his •oot fail him, yet if he have the foot of holiness and righteousness to walk to heaven, he is in an excellent estate. Whereas contrariwise, he that is young, and is not regenerate, is an old man: and therefore he that is both un-regenerate and old in body, he is in a pitiful case.

What is it to be a new man? to be renewed in holiness and righteousness. Hereby is set forth what we are by creation, what by nature, what by grace and regeneration. For the first, when we were created, we were made holy, like unto God, not of the nature of God, but like in holiness and righteousness.
