the

prince

,

for

the

time

being

,

whose

earthly

image

is

the

old

man

,

to

which

he

has

returned

.

To

him

,

then

,

we

are

to

render

the

earthly

things

,

which

we

bore

in

the

image

of

the

earthly

,

and

the

things

of

God

to

God

.

For

each

one

of

the

passions

is

on

us

as

a

letter

,

and

stamp

,

and

sign

.

Now

the

Lord

marks

us

with

another

stamp

,

and

with

other

names

and

letters

,

faith

instead

of

unbelief

,

and

so

forth

.

Thus

we

are

translated

from

what

is

material

to

what

is

spiritual

,

“

having

borne

the

image

of

the

heavenly

.
