in_o the_o flesh_n can_v please_v god_n the_o text_n it_o be_v a_o conclusion_n draw_v from_o forego_v premise_n the_o apostle_n have_v in_o the_o six_o ver_fw-la lay_v down_o what_o a_o miserable_a condition_n it_o be_v to_o be_v carnal_o mind_v and_o what_o a_o happy_a condition_n it_o be_v to_o be_v spiritual_o mind_v to_o be_v carnal_o mind_v be_v death_n but_o to_o be_v spiritual_o mind_v be_v life_n and_o peace_n in_o the_o seven_o ver_fw-la he_o lay_v down_o the_o incompetibility_n between_o these_o two_o condition_n and_o show_v that_o the_o natural_a man_n be_v not_o and_o the_o impossibility_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n the_o carnal_a mind_n be_v enmity_n against_o god_n for_o it_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n neither_o indeed_o can_v be_v and_o then_o from_o hence_o he_o do_v infer_v this_o necessary_a conclusion_n so_o then_o they_o that_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n can_v please_v god_n in_o which_o word_n the_o apostle_n do_v note_n three_o thing_n unto_o we_o 1._o he_o do_v 〈◊〉_d imply_v that_o some_o may_v be_v involve_v in_o this_o natural_a condition_n here_o describe_v and_o set_v forth_o unto_o we_o they_o may_v be_v in_o the_o flesh_n 2._o he_o do_v grant_v that_o a_o great_a many_o be_v involve_v in_o this_o condition_n you_o see_v it_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o the_o plural_a number_n they_o that_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o 3._o there_o be_v the_o inferrence_n that_o the_o apostle_n do_v infer_v or_o the_o conclusion_n that_o he_o draw_v from_o thence_o they_o can_v please_v god_n first_o than_o i_o will_v speak_v of_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n impli_v here_o which_o be_v that_o some_o may_v be_v involve_v in_o this_o natural_a condition_n here_o describe_v and_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n i_o purpose_v not_o to_o lay_v down_o all_o the_o acception_n of_o the_o word_n flesh_n in_o scripture_n but_o to_o propound_v only_o so_o many_o as_o may_v make_v for_o the_o necessary_a explication_n of_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o this_o place_n where_o he_o say_v they_o that_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n can_v please_v god_n flesh_n than_o it_o be_v take_v for_o the_o body_n as_o it_o consist_v of_o bone_n sinew_n ligament_n blood_n artery_n all_o that_o material_a massy_a fleshly_a lump_n which_o we_o carry_v about_o we_o and_o for_o this_o body_n inform_v with_o a_o live_a soul_n and_o so_o it_o be_v take_v in_o the_o 1_o cor._n 15._o chap._n the_o 50._o verse_n where_o the_o apostle_n say_v flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o so_o it_o be_v take_v 1_o pet._n 3._o chap._n 18._o verse_n where_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o our_o saviour_n that_o he_o be_v put_v to_o death_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n be_v the_o apostle_n word_n to_o be_v understand_v 1_o phil._n the_o 24._o verse_n where_o he_o tell_v the_o philippian_n that_o for_o he_o to_o abide_v in_o the_o flesh_n be_v more_o needful_a for_o they_o that_o be_v for_o he_o to_o continue_v in_o the_o body_n and_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n be_v better_a for_o they_o or_o else_o flesh_n may_v be_v take_v for_o the_o remainder_n of_o natural_a corruption_n in_o the_o regenerate_a so_o it_o be_v take_v in_o the_o 5._o of_o the_o gal._n 17._o ver_fw-la the_o flesh_n lu_v against_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n against_o the_o flesh_n and_o so_o to_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n it_o be_v to_o live_v in_o this_o frail_a body_n encompass_v about_o with_o sin_n and_o infirmity_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n word_n may_v be_v understand_v 2_o cor._n 10._o chap._n 3._o ver_fw-la though_o we_o walk_v in_o the_o flesh_n yet_o we_o do_v not_o war_n after_o the_o flesh_n or_o last_o flesh_n be_v take_v for_o natural_a corruption_n for_o the_o pravity_n of_o our_o nature_n for_o the_o proneness_n and_o propensity_n of_o the_o heart_n to_o evil_n and_o the_o indisposition_n thereof_o to_o do_v good_a when_o the_o evil_a desire_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o flesh_n reign_n and_o bear_v sway_n and_o rule_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n word_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o 7._o rom._n 5._o ver_fw-la where_o he_o lay_v down_o that_o when_o we_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n the_o motion_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v by_o the_o law_n do_v work_v in_o our_o member_n to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o death_n proper_o in_o the_o apostle_n meaning_n they_o be_v not_o say_v to_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n in_o this_o place_n who_o live_v in_o the_o body_n for_o so_o we_o be_v all_o in_o the_o flesh_n neither_o be_v they_o say_v proper_o to_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n according_a to_o the_o apostle_n meaning_n in_o this_o place_n in_o who_o the_o relic_n of_o natural_a corruption_n do_v remain_v for_o so_o likewise_o we_o be_v all_o in_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o relic_n of_o sin_n they_o will_v still_o remain_v in_o we_o so_o long_o as_o we_o live_v in_o the_o flesh_n until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o put_v off_o the_o flesh_n and_o this_o mortal_a put_v on_o immortality_n but_o according_a to_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n word_n in_o 12._o rom._n 6._o 12._o this_o place_n they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n who_o suffer_v sin_n to_o reign_v in_o their_o mortal_a body_n that_o they_o shall_v obey_v it_o in_o the_o lust_n thereof_o and_o so_o the_o apostle_n describe_v the_o natural_a condition_n of_o all_o the_o son_n of_o adam_n and_o of_o all_o sanctify_a and_o regenerate_v person_n before_o their_o conversion_n the_o 2_o of_o the_o ephesian_n 3._o for_o we_o all_o have_v our_o conversation_n in_o time_n past_a in_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n fulfil_v the_o desire_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o of_o the_o mind_n and_o be_v by_o nature_n the_o child_n of_o wrath_n this_o be_v the_o condition_n that_o all_o have_v be_v in_o and_o some_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v themselves_o to_o be_v still_o in_o they_o have_v no_o

block_n unto_o they_o they_o esteem_v it_o foolishness_n when_o they_o hear_v it_o preach_v they_o mock_v at_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o the_o principle_n of_o christian_a religion_n be_v so_o absurd_a to_o their_o natural_a sense_n and_o reason_n that_o they_o will_v not_o down_o with_o they_o by_o any_o mean_n sin●●_n they_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v they_o have_v no_o sight_n of_o it_o or_o if_o they_o have_v they_o have_v no_o sense_n nor_o feeling_n of_o the_o heinousness_n of_o it_o and_o for_o the_o inward_a corruption_n of_o the_o heart_n they_o suffer_v it_o to_o lie_v there_o without_o mortify_v it_o and_o it_o be_v the_o constraint_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n that_o restrain_v they_o from_o the_o actual_a commission_n of_o sin_n for_o otherwise_o they_o give_v full_a sway_n and_o swinge_v to_o their_o crooked_a and_o corrupt_a affection_n free_a scope_n and_o liberty_n to_o themselves_o in_o sin_n and_o run_v their_o full_a
