The means on the part of Christ, whereby this is wrought and effected in believers, is the communication of his Spirit unto them, to make an effectual application of the virtue of his death, unto the death of sin; for it is by his Spirit that we mortify the deeds of the flesh, and the flesh it self, and that as we are implanted by him into the likeness of the death of Christ. By virtue thereof, we are crucified, and made dead unto sin; in the Declaration of which things the Scripture doth abound.

The means of it on the part of Believers, is the exercise of Faith in Christ, as crucified; whereby they derive virtue from him, for the crucifying of the Body of death: And this Exercise of Faith is always accompanied with diligence and perseverance in all holy Duties of Prayer, with Fasting, Godly Sorrow, daily renewed Repentance, with a continual watch against all the Advantages of sin.
