This abolishing of our sinfulness or mortification of sin within us, doth Paul ascribe to the power of the death of Christ, when he saith that ^kwe are baptized into the death of Christ, buried together with him, and engrafted into the likeness of his death, that our old man might be crucified together with him, and the body of sin done away, that we might no more serve sin: for he that is dead, is free from sin. And to the Hebrews, ^lthat it is the blood of Christ, shed and and poured forth for us, which purgeth our conscience from dead works, to serve the living God. To the ^mGalatians, he saith, that by the Cross of Christ the World is crucified unto them, and he unto the World. And, Colos. 3. 3, 5. Because we are dead with Christ, he gathereth that we are to mortify our members, that are upon the Earth.
