altogether_o incline_v to_o corruption_n and_o nothing_o but_o frailty_n according_a to_o the_o hebrew_n phrase_n for_o when_o the_o jew_n will_v speak_v with_o contempt_n of_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o no_o constancy_n or_o solidity_n they_o call_v it_o basharvedam_n flesh_n and_o blood_n you_o must_v not_o imagine_v that_o our_o prophet_n speak_v here_o of_o flesh_n intend_v thereby_o sin_n only_o or_o the_o corrupt_a nature_n of_o man_n as_o our_o saviour_n do_v when_o he_o say_v that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n be_v flesh_n for_o have_v this_o be_v his_o meaning_n he_o will_v not_o have_v say_v all_o flesh_n but_o restrain_v his_o expression_n to_o the_o flesh_n of_o sinner_n therefore_o when_o he_o say_v all_o flesh_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o all_o man_n the_o most_o godly_a and_o righteous_a not_o except_v be_v subject_a to_o death_n all_o the_o child_n of_o adam_n inasmuch_o as_o they_o be_v make_v up_o of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n must_v return_v to_o their_o original_a dust_n as_o well_o as_o he_o but_o perhaps_o you_o will_v say_v of_o what_o avail_n be_v it_o then_o to_o we_o that_o we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n if_o we_o must_v inevitable_o submit_v to_o death_n as_o well_o as_o other_o man_n i_o answer_v the_o new_a birth_n be_v not_o design_v to_o preserve_v we_o in_o the_o state_n wherein_o adam_n be_v create_v nor_o to_o

man_n from_o heaven_n altogether_o spiritual_a and_o immortal_a indeed_o adam_n in_o his_o state_n of_o innocence_n be_v but_o flesh_n and_o blood_n for_o though_o he_o know_v no_o sin_n yet_o be_v he_o liable_a to_o sin_n and_o consequent_o to_o death_n which_o be_v the_o wage_n of_o it_o flesh_n and_o blood_n say_v st._n paul_n can_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n what_o think_v you_o do_v the_o apostle_n mean_v here_o by_o flesh_n and_o blood_n he_o do_v not_o mean_a sin_n though_o what_o he_o say_v be_v true_a of_o sin_n too_o but_o in_o this_o place_n as_o appear_v from_o the_o context_n be_v understand_v humane_a nature_n consider_v in_o its_o infirmity_n though_o otherwise_o innocent_a and_o just_a as_o subject_a to_o a_o continual_a changeableness_n to_o a_o troublesome_a vicissitude_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v of_o labour_n and_o rest_v and_o to_o many_o other_o drudgery_n and_o necessity_n of_o life_n because_o in_o this_o state_n it_o can_v subsist_v before_o god_n no_o more_o than_o wax_v before_o the_o burn_a sun_n

furthermore_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o why_o it_o be_v that_o all_o flesh_n be_v grass_n subject_n to_o fade_v and_o death_n i_o answer_v because_o without_o death_n we_o can_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n it_o be_v impossible_a even_o for_o adam_n all_o innocent_a and_o all_o just_a as_o he_o be_v to_o be_v transport_v to_o heaven_n without_o leave_v his_o flesh_n behind_o he_o or_o without_o undergo_a some_o change_n which_o may_v divest_v he_o of_o his_o natural_a infirmity_n and_o endow_v he_o with_o divine_a and_o spiritual_a quality_n and_o will_v you_o aspire_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o this_o kingdom_n without_o put_v off_o the_o old_a rag_n of_o your_o corruptible_a nature_n nothing_o that_o be_v defile_v or_o impure_a shall_v ever_o enter_v into_o it_o nor_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o a_o earthy_a and_o corruptible_a nature_n do_v therefore_o ask_v i_o any_o more_o why_o the_o flesh_n even_o of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v as_o grass_n or_o why_o they_o must_v unavoidable_o die_v there_o be_v two_o obvious_a reason_n for_o it_o and_o such_o as_o you_o can_v be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o first_o be_v because_o of_o their_o sin_n the_o second_o because_o of_o their_o infirmity_n and_o corruptibility_n the_o angel_n be_v sinner_n but_o have_v no_o flesh_n and_o consequent_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o mortality_n adam_n be_v mortal_a as_o be_v make_v up_o of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o be_v no_o sinner_n nevertheless_o neither_o the_o angel_n after_o they_o have_v sin_v nor_o adam_n who_o have_v never_o sin_v can_v ever_o bear_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n the_o sinfulness_n of_o the_o fall_v angel_n can_v not_o bear_v his_o justice_n and_o the_o infirm_a and_o corruptible_a nature_n of_o man_n can_v not_o bear_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o divine_a majesty_n and_o we_o who_o be_v both_o infirm_a mortal_n and_o sinner_n how_o can_v we_o appear_v before_o his_o supreme_a justice_n or_o endure_v his_o transcendent_a glory_n without_o be_v strike_v down_o to_o the_o ground_n without_o be_v overset_v and_o swallow_v up_o by_o they_o our_o body_n therefore_o must_v by_o death_n be_v cast_v into_o the_o grave_a as_o into_o a_o melting-pot_n to_o be_v melt_v down_o and_o to_o be_v cast_v anew_o death_n be_v the_o true_a purgatory_n here_o the_o saint_n be_v refine_v here_o they_o put_v off_o all_o the_o remain_v of_o corruption_n by_o quit_v the_o cast_a skin_n of_o the_o old_a man_n and_o all_o the_o infirmity_n of_o their_o flesh_n but_o the_o prophet_n here_o cry_v out_o all_o flesh_n without_o confine_v
