I mention them in particular, as (a) In thy book all my members were written. (b) We are members of his Body, of his Flesh, and of his Bones. (c) Whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. (d) For as the Body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one Body, being many, are one Body: so also is Christ. (e) Ye are the Body of Christ, and members in particular. f) He is the Head of the Body, the Church; (g) The Head over all things to his Church, which is his Body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. (h) Ye are complete in Him. (i) We being many are one body in Christ, and members one of another. (k) And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross. (1) And they two shall be one flesh; this is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the Church. (m) For bothhe that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all of one; (n) and the glory which thou

gavest me, I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one, I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. (a) And the vessel that he made of clay, was marr'd in the hand of the potter, so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good unto the potter to make it. (b) She was delivered of a Man Child. Who hath heard such a thing? Who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? Shall a Nation be born at once? (c) In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the Body of the sins of the Flesh, by the circumcision of Christ (d) Buried with him in Baptism. (e) I am crucified with Christ. (f) Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about? (g) Who his own self bare our sins in his own Body on the Tree, that we being dead unto sin, should live unto righteousness, by whose stripes

ye were healed. (a) Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him. (b) Ye are dead, and your Life is hid with Christ in God. (c) Dead to the Law by the Body of Christ; (d) if we be dead with Christ, we believe we shall also live with him. (e) Reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin ; but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. (f) Thy dead shall live, my dead Body shall they arise; (g) after two days will he revive us, in the third Day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. (h) Hath begotten us again unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the Dead. (i) Not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience towards God, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. (k) Now hath he reconciled, in the body of his flesh through death. (1) God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself. (m) And was raised again for our justification. (n) And hath raised us up togeth

er, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ, (a) even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ. (b) And you being dead in your sins, and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses. (c) Who hath blessed us with all spiritual : blessings in heavenly places in Christ ac cording as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy, and without blame before him, (d) we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is, (e) because as he is, so are we in this world; (f) roho hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace which was given us in Christ Jesus, before the world began. (g) He hath made us accepted in the beloved. (h) Israel shall be saved in the Lord, with an everlasting salvation: (i) surely shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness and strength in the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

(k) This is the name wherewith he shall be called, the Lord our Righteousness (a) this is the name wherewith she shall be called the Lord our Righteousness (b) to them who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, (c) but of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God, is made unto us Wisdom, and Righteousness, and Sanctification, and Redemption; that according as it is written, He that glorifieth, let him glory in the Lord. (d) They shall call his Name Emmanuel, which being interpreted, is God with us. Time would fail me, to mention all the scriptures which I apprehend are full of this matter; and are, as I conceive, incapable of any consistent explication, that takes not in the Union subsisting between Christ and his Church. If what I have already said, hath the weight, which it appears to me to have; then, without Union with Christ, all our hopes and expectations by him are groundless, and without the least shadow of reason: What I have said before, when proving the inconsistency and unreasonableness of his suffering for sin, without Union to the sinner, is of equal Force to
