John Trapp on Galatians 5:24

Verſe 24. And they that are Chriſts] When Chriſt came in the fleſh, we crucified him: when he comes into our hearts, he crucifies us.

Have crucified the fleſh] To crucifie is not abſolutely and out-right to kill; Crucifixion is a lingring death, no member being free from pain. If then we ſo repent of ſin (as that which crucified Chriſt) we ſo pierce the old man, that we are ſure he will die of it, though he be not preſently dead, this is mortification. Thoſe beaſts, Dan. 7.12. had their dominion taken away, and yet their lives were prolonged for a ſeaſon.

With the affections] Sinfull, ſudden paſſions.

And luſts] More deeply rooted in our natures, and ſo, not ſo eaſily overcome.
