(3.) That the way to have all, is to lose all; and that a Man gains most, when he loses most: Is not this a Mystery?
(4.) That Men must die to live, or that the way to live is to die; nay, that God kills by making Souls alive, and yet by that killing and death, brings them to life: And is not this a Mystery? Sin must die, and we must die to Sin: Sin revived, and I died; 1yet by that Death he revived, and lived. A Man must die to Self, or he can never live himself.
