Applic.

That Remission of sin is that other great blessing of God to his Church in this life, how above others ought we to seeke for that? To repent us of our sinnes, that we may obtaine this blessing y. And when a blessing of this life, here had or never had, how ought we to let passe no time when, but still be both mindfull and carefull how to obtaine it? and as the A∣postle wisheth x, dayly to call unto each other to be still mindfull of this. That when but by this there is no meane to free us from sin, that we be mindfull still to keep God the giver of this our friend, who that if faithfully sought too, wil give it us, how againe ought we still to seeke him y And being onely sin is it that steps between God and us to the prejudice of this forgivenesse, our ever care it must be, that to keepe us by God, we ever keep off sin a. Thus of the two maine blessings here, come we next to explaine those o∣ther two maine blessings hereafter, the first whereof we have in the next, the

XI. Eleventh Article, and that this, the Resurrection of the Body: which is, that our bodies though buried and turned to dust and ashes, yet shall be gathered and rise againe b. Yea the very same bodies c,

perfect and intire d, as no more subject to death e, so surely not subject to any losse, harme or imperfection, made immortall and glorified bodies f. And as here for∣given and remitted by Christ's blood g: so hereafter raised by the power h and vertue of Christ's Resurrection i at the last day k.
