- 1Believers are buried in 3. respects.
1. In respect of their good names, as they are reproached by the wicked; The throats of the wicked are the Sepulchres, or burial places of the good names of Gods people; this is part of a Believers sufferings.
2. In respect of Self-denial. Believers must be no more taken with the things of this World (so ⟨p. 252⟩far as to draw them from God) than a person dead and buried and lying in his grave.
3. In respect of the Mortification of sin, and these two last are our duty; and of this last I would speak a little, following the Metaphor, in which there is some difference, and some agreement in the burial of our sin, and in common burial.
