Evid. 2. If you be dead with Christ, you shall live again by the life of Christ. If we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his Resurrection, Rom. 6.5. [Greek or Hebrew],¹ Planted together, some refer it to believers themselves, Jews, and Gentiles are planted together in Christ. So Erasmus, believers grow together like branches upon the same root; which should powerfully enforce the great Gospel duty of unity among ⟨p. 559⟩themselves. But I would rather understand it with reference to Christ, and believers; with whom believers are in other Scriptures said to suffer together, and be glorified together, to die together, and live together, to be Crucified together, and buried together all noting the communion they have with Christ, both in his death and in his life. Now if the power of Christs death, (i. e.) the mortifying influence of it have been upon our hearts; killing their Lusts, deading their affections, and flatting their appetites to the Creature; then, the power of his life, or Resurrection shall come like the animating dew upon our dead withered bodies, to revive and raise them up to live with him in glory.
