AC 6554 - "burying"

AC 6554
The reason why 'burying'
means regeneration as well as resurrection,
and also the restoration to life
and establishment of the Church,
is that these operations which are meant
are similar to one another in what they entail;
for regeneration is resurrection,
in that when a person is being regenerated
he is being turned from one who is dead
into one who is alive, thus is rising again.
Similarly with the restoration to life
and establishment of the Church with a person,
for this is effected through regeneration,
thus through resurrection from death to life.
