1We are quickened two ways. 1. In Christ. 2. In our selves; when our head Christ Jesus was raised from the grave, we were quickened in him. In our selves we were quickened three ways. 1. Sacramentally, in baptism. 2. By inchoation in our conversion. 3, Perfectly, by hope of perfection in heaven; by baptism, by conversion, by hope.
