18

18. Like as Christ hath mortified, extinguished, and overcome the world, and also the anger of His Father (being the centre of the eternal nature), in the soul's property with His love (that is, with the new love-fire introduced into the soul's essence; into which the devil before had brought in and placed his desire; even so must we in and with Christ's spirit quell and quash the earthly Adam in God's anger, and mortify it through God's love, that the new man may spring forth, else there is no forgiveness of sin nor any adoption [or filiation] nor any righteousness.
