Promises. 2. To Mortification.

The benefits the LORD will bestow upon us, if in obe∣dience and love to him, wee can be content to cast away our sin∣full lusts.

He that forsaketh any profit, credit or comfort for CHRISTS sake, shall be rewarded an hun∣dred fold, Mar. 10.29, 30. Mat. 19.28. Hee shall re∣ceive not ten in the hundred, but a hundred for ten, If yee mortifie the deeds of the flesh by the Spirit, yee shall live, Rom. 8.13. Without it there is no li∣ving, it is a necessary condition required to the attainement of salvation.
