flesh_n &_o they_o that_o be_v after_o the_o spirit_n do_v mind_n spiritual_a thing_n sure_o to_o be_v fleshly_a mind_v be_v death_n but_o to_o be_v ghostly_a mind_v be_v life_n &_o peace_n because_o that_o fleshlymindednesse_n be_v enmity_n against_o god_n for_o it_o be_v not_o obedient_a to_o god_n law_n neither_o can_v be_v they_o therefore_o that_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n can_v please_v god_n the_o same_o apostle_n to_o the_o galatian_n say_v thus_o walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n &_o you_o shall_v not_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n for_o the_o flesh_n lust_v against_o the_o spirit_n &_o the_o spirit_n against_o the_o flesh_n and_o those_o two_o be_v at_o strife_n one_o against_o another_o so_o as_o you_o can_v do_v what_o you_o will_v and_o again_o they_o that_o be_v christ_n have_v crucify_v the_o flesh_n with_o the_o affection_n &_o lust_n thereof_o to_o be_v short_a the_o apostle_n warn_v we_o almost_o every_o where_o to_o keep_v continual_a battle_n against_o the_o flesh_n when_o we_o be_v once_o regenerate_v and_o to_o strive_v with_o all_o earnestness_n to_o hold_v down_o and_o subdue_v the_o sinfulness_n and_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n stick_v still_o in_o our_o flesh_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o crucify_v that_o old_a man_n of_o we_o with_o christ_n to_o cleanse_v away_o the_o old_a leven_fw-mi daily_o more_o and_o more_o and_o that_o i_o may_v use_v the_o apostle_n own_o word_n to_o mortify_v our_o earthly_a member_n as_o lechery_n uncloanesse_n niceness_n and_o evil_a concupiscence_n therefore_o let_v we_o not_o promise_v ourselves_o rist_n &_o safety_n in_o this_o life_n we_o must_v stand_v always_o as_o it_o be_v in_o battelray_o so_o long_o as_o we_o carry_v the_o old_a man_n about_o we_o and_o we_o must_v fight_v against_o the_o flesh_n without_o cease_v that_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n may_v be_v do_v away_o and_o perish_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o the_o roman_n and_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o spirit_n must_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a so_o deal_v as_o sin_n may_v reign_v and_o bear_v sway_n in_o they_o but_o they_o must_v with_o all_o force_n withstand_v the_o sinfulness_n and_o forward_a inclination_n to_o offend_v which_o be_v breed_v in_o they_o and_o as_o s._n peter_n say_v they_o must_v abstain_v from_o fleshly_a lust_n which_o maintain_v war_n against_o the_o spirit_n ▪_o and_o they_o must_v not_o abandon_v their_o member_n as_o servant_n too_o uncleanness_n &_o unrighteousness_n from_o lewdness_n to_o lewdness_n but_o as_o servant_n of_o righteousness_n unto_o holiness_n nother_n must_v they_o run_v forward_o with_o blind_a bray_v whither_o so_o ever_o the_o flesh_n drive_v they_o nor_o heap_v sin_n upon_o sin_n but_o they_o must_v fight_v i_o say_v continual_o against_o the_o flesh_n as_o long_o as_o they_o live_v they_o must_v subdue_v their_o naughty_a affection_n and_o not_o cocker_v themselves_o in_o their_o overtendernesse_n nor_o give_v head_n to_o their_o lust_n final_o we_o must_v by_o all_o mean_v endeavour_n to_o put_v off_o the_o old_a man_n according_a to_o that_o former_a conversation_n which_o be_v corrupt_v w_o deceitful_a lust_n &_o to_o be_v renew_a in_o the_o spirit_n of_o our_o mind_n so_o as_o we_o put_v on_o the_o new_a man_n which_o be_v create_v to_o godward_o in_o true_a holiness_n &_o righteousness_n as_o paul_n say_v to_o the_o ephesian_n i_o say_v to_o put_v off_o the_o old_a man_n with_o his_o deed_n and_o to_o put_v on_o the_o new_a which_o be_v renew_v to_o the_o knowledge_n and_o image_n of_o he_o that_o make_v he_o as_o the_o same_o apostle_n say_v to_o the_o colossian_n and_o last_o to_o forsake_v all_o ungodliness_n &_o worldly_a lust_n and_o to_o live_v sober_o upright_o and_o godly_o in_o this_o present_a world_n wait_v for_o the_o bless_a hope_n and_o glorious_a appear_v of_o the_o great_a god_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n who_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o to_o redeem_v we_o from_o all_o unrightuousenesse_n and_o to_o cleanse_v we_o for_o a_o peculiar_a people_n to_o himself_o that_o we_o may_v be_v follower_n of_o good_a work_n as_o the_o same_o apostle_n write_v to_o titus_n i_o will_v add_v this_o one_o thing_n more_o before_o i_o make_v a_o end_n there_o have_v be_v some_o strife_n in_o our_o day_n who_o be_v right_o to_o be_v take_v for_o fleshly_a and_o who_o for_o ghostly_a i_o will_v touch_v the_o matter_n short_o he_o therefore_o be_v say_v to_o be_v fleshly_a which_o strain_v not_o himself_o to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o his_o power_n to_o keep_v down_o the_o corruption_n and_o naughty_a affection_n that_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o as_o it_o be_v to_o purge_v away_o the_o old_a leaven_n but_o be_v carry_v by_o they_o into_o all_o kind_n of_o lewdness_n and_o wickedness_n and_o rush_v witting_o and_o willing_o against_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n and_o shake_v off_o the_o force_n of_o god_n bear_v too_o much_o with_o himself_o be_v a_o servant_n to_o his_o body_n and_o that_o i_o may_v use_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n jude_n walk_v after_o his_o own_o lust_n contrariwise_o he_o be_v spiritual_a which_o be_v stir_v up_o by_o god_n spirit_n endeavour_v with_o all_o his_o heart_n to_o live_v a_o holy_a life_n to_o obey_v god_n commandment_n to_o keep_v himself_o undefiled_a of_o the_o world_n to_o put_v off_o the_o old_a man_n to_o subdue_v the_o sinfulness_n that_o be_v bredin_fw-mi he_o &_o as_o say_v the_o apostle_n to_o kill_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o body_n through_o the_o spirit_n and_o which_o feeling_n his_o f●esh_n strive_v there_o against_o do_v yet_o after_o a_o sort_n offer_v violence_n to_o his_o own_o nature_n and_o suffer_v not_o himself_o willing_o to_o be_v overcome_v of_o his_o own_o lust_n in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o he_o can_v do_v no_o more_o at_o leastwise_o he_o suffer_v not_o sin_n to_o reign_v in_o he_o but_o upon_o trust_n of_o god_n hope_n endeavour_v to_o live_v out_o of_o the_o flesh_n be_v in_o the_o flesh_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n bewail_v his_o own_o infirmity_n and_o weakness_n and_o because_o he_o can_v put_v away_o the_o renant_n of_o sin_n that_o stick_v fast_o in_o his_o flesh_n he_o pray_v too_o have_v they_o pardon_v for_o christ_n sake_n for_o let_v no_o man_n look_v too_o pluck_v up_o quite_o and_o clean_o or_o too_o remove_v whole_a away_o the_o inbred_a corruption_n which_o be_v as_o the_o root_n of_o all_o sin_n always_o there_o remain_v some_o behind_o until_o the_o flesh_n be_v bring_v again_o into_o dust_n and_o consume_v to_o nothing_o for_o only_o death_n be_v it_o that_o dispatch_v that_o mischief_n in_o respect_n whereof_o augustine_n say_v thus_o there_o be_v always_o a_o fight_v in_o the_o body_n of_o this_o death_n because_o the_o concupiscence_n wherewith_o we_o be_v bear_v can_v be_v end_v as_o long_o as_o we_o live_v it_o may_v daily_o be_v diminish_v but_o end_v it_o can_v be_v concern_v this_o difference_n between_o the_o fleshly_a &_o the_o spiritual_a man_n i_o will_v city_v a_o few_o thing_n out_o of_o irenaeus_n who_o in_o his_o five_o book_n against_o the_o heresy_n of_o valentine_n write_v in_o manner_n thus_o they_o that_o have_v the_o pledge_n of_o the_o spirit_n &_o serve_v not_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o spirit_n &_o lead_v their_o life_n in_o all_o point_n agre_o too_o reason_n they_o do_v the_o apostle_n right_o call_v spiritual_a because_o god_n spirit_n dwell_v in_o they_o and_o after_o a_o few_o other_o word_n the_o union_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n say_v he_o take_v god_n spirit_n unto_o it_o make_v a_o man_n spiritual_a but_o as_o for_o they_o that_o reject_v and_o forsake_v the_o counsel_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n &_o serve_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n &_o live_v not_o according_a too_o reason_n but_o be_v carry_v headlong_o into_o all_o sensuality_n and_o be_v utter_o destitute_a of_o the_o breath_n of_o god_n spirit_n do_v live_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o swine_n and_o dog_n they_o do_v the_o apostle_n just_o call_v fleshe_o because_o they_o mind_n nothing_o but_o fleshly_a thing_n &_o so_o forth_o the_o same_o author_n anon_o after_o say_v thus_o for_o they_o that_o be_v such_o do_v bear_v man_n in_o hand_n that_o they_o believe_v in_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n but_o yet_o do_v they_o never_o set_v their_o mind_n upon_o god_n word_n as_o they_o shall_v do_v neither_o be_v they_o beautify_v with_o the_o work_n of_o righteousness_n but_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o they_o live_v like_o swine_n and_o dog_n give_v themselves_o to_o uncleanness_n gluttome_n and_o all_o other_o vice_n just_o therefore_o do_v the_o apostle_n term_v all_o such_o man_n fleshly_a and_o sensual_a forasmuch_o as_o
