VERS. 10. And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the Image of him that created him.
VERS. 10. And haue put on the new man, which is renued in knowledge after the Image of him that created him.
IN this verse is contained the second reason to enforce mortification, taken from their new estate in grace. The reason in it self entreats of the new birth, and describes it by showing what it is, 1. In general, it is the putting on of the new man. 2. In particular, it is the renewing of the mind with knowledge, and of the whole man, after the Image of God and Christ.

The manner by which it is effected: and then I come to the use.
