All these uses, both for Justification and Sanctification, and the distinct parts of every one, the Apostle notably setteth forth, Rom. 6. 3, 4, 5, 6. Know ye not, that all we which have been baptized into Jesus Christ, have been baptized into his Death? We are buried then with him by Baptism into his Death, that like as Christ was raised from the dead, unto the glory of the Father; so also we should walk in newness of life. For if we be grafted with him to the similitude of his death, even so shall we be to the similitude of his resurrection; Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of Sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve Sin.
