2. Sometimes the new creature is said to be all, Gal. 6.15. Nothing availeth but a new creature; the new creature is all dispositive, as it qualifies and fits us for glory; without holiness no man shall see the Lord, ⟨p. 420⟩Hebr. 12.14. It is a saying of Chrysostom, at the day of judgement God will ask that question as our Saviour did, Matth. 22.20. Whose image and superscription is this? So will God say, Whose image is this? if thou canst not show him his image consisting in holiness, he will reject thee; thus the new creature is all.
