The application of redemption

In that there is an inward Principle received, whereby §3we meet with Christ, and concur with him to the work; here we have no habit, and therefore no inward ⟨p. 679⟩principle to meet with Christ, he wholly and only […] upon us, and we act, as acted by him. Take the wheels of a Watch out of place, if you will bring them into the right room and place, they will then move, because there is a principle of motion put into it. So of a Member out of Joint, if you will by strong hand pull and move it unto the place, being wholly moved, it will move into his order and rank, it doth not concur or meet with your hand for the jointing of it self, but stirs wholly and only as stirred; but being settled and confirmed in the place, it will move to your hand, and concur with your hand to help it self. So here: That hatred in Sanctification we receive from our union with Christ; this the Spirit works upon us to make way to bring us to Union with the Lord Jesus; we must turn from our sins, before we come to God, there must be an aversion from sin, before there can be a conversion unto God; we cannot be under two Covenants; in the first Adam, and the second; grow upon two stocks together. It's said that Adam begot a son in his own Image, that a Son was¹ generated by the first Adam, the act of Generation was no part of the Image, but the Image is the corruption of Nature that came by Generation: So that we are united, that's none […] Christs Image, but the Image of Christ, which is […] communion with him in his Graces, this Image and these graces issue from our union. The sum in short then is this: There must be an aversion from sin, before conversion unto God: there is nothing in the soul that can work this, but Christ must do it. When Christ works this, it is not by any habit of Grace infused into the soul, but by the motion and work of the Spirit upon the Soul. In this work, Christ as the Head of the Covenant by […] of his death, whereby he satisfied the Law, brings a release from the hand of Divine Justice, to reverse and repeal that Commission by which sin had Authority over the soul and Satan by sin; […] that the act of sin is stopped, and the right of the Rule of sin is ⟨p. 680⟩wholly […] and made void;
