we_o neither_o think_v speak_v nor_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o the_o flesh_n provoke_v we_o unto_o as_o if_o it_o move_v we_o to_o anger_n yet_o we_o shall_v be_v angry_a in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o four_o psalm_n that_o we_o sin_v not_o as_o if_o paul_n will_v thus_o say_v 4.4_o i_o know_v that_o the_o flesh_n will_v provoke_v you_o unto_o wrath_n envy_n doubt_v incredulity_n and_o such_o like_a but_o resist_v it_o by_o the_o spirit_n that_o you_o sin_v not_o but_o if_o you_o forsake_v the_o guide_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o follow_v the_o flesh_n you_o shall_v fulfil_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o you_o shall_v die_v as_o paul_n say_v in_o the_o .8_o to_o the_o roman_n so_o this_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v not_o of_o fleshly_a lust_n only_o but_o of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n of_o sin_n verse_n 17._o and_o these_o be_v contrary_a one_o to_o the_o other_o so_o that_o you_o can_v not_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n that_o you_o will_v these_o two_o captain_n or_o leader_n say_v he_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n be_v one_o against_o a_o other_o in_o your_o body_n so_o that_o you_o can_v not_o do_v what_o you_o will_v and_o this_o place_n witness_v plain_o that_o paul_n write_v these_o thing_n to_o the_o faithful_a that_o be_v to_o the_o church_n beleve_v in_o christ_n baptise_a 1â—_o justify_v renew_v and_o have_v full_a forgiveness_n of_o sin_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o say_v that_o she_o have_v flesh_n rebel_a against_o the_o spirit_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n he_o speak_v of_o himself_o in_o the_o .7_o to_o the._n rom._n i_o say_v he_o be_o carnal_a &_o sell_v under_o sin_n and_o again_o i_o see_v a_o other_o la_o in_o my_o member_n rebel_a against_o the_o la_o of_o my_o mind_n and_o lead_v i_o captive_a unto_o the_o la_o of_o sin_n which_o be_v in_o my_o member_n also_o oh_o wretched_a man_n that_o i_o be_o who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o the_o body_n of_o this_o death_n etc_n etc_n here_o not_o only_o the_o schoolman_n but_o also_o some_o of_o the_o old_a father_n be_v much_o trouble_v seek_v how_o they_o may_v excuse_v paul_n sin_n for_o it_o seem_v unto_o they_o absurd_a and_o unseemly_a to_o say_v that_o that_o elect_a vessel_n of_o christ_n shall_v have_v sin_n but_o we_o credit_n paul_n own_o word_n wherein_o he_o plain_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v sell_v under_o sin_n that_o he_o be_v lead_v captive_a of_o sin_n that_o he_o have_v a_o law_n in_o his_o member_n rebel_a against_o he_o &_o that_o in_o the_o flesh_n he_o serve_v the_o law_n of_o sin_n here_o again_o they_o answer_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o wicked_a but_o the_o wicked_a do_v not_o complain_v of_o the_o rebellion_n of_o their_o flesh_n of_o any_o battle_n or_o conflict_n or_o of_o the_o captivity_n &_o bondage_n of_o sin_n for_o sin_n mighty_o reign_v in_o they_o this_o be_v therefore_o that_o very_a complaint_n of_o paul_n &_o of_o all_o the_o faithful_a wherefore_o they_o have_v do_v very_o wicked_o which_o have_v excuse_v paul_n &_o all_o the_o faithful_a to_o have_v no_o sin_n for_o by_o this_o persuasion_n which_o proceed_v of_o ignorance_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n they_o have_v rob_v the_o church_n of_o a_o singular_a consolation_n they_o have_v abolish_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o make_v christ_n of_o none_o effect_n wherefore_o when_o paul_n say_v i_o see_v a_o other_o law_n in_o my_o member_n etc_n etc_n he_o deny_v not_o that_o he_o have_v flesh_n and_o the_o vice_n of_o the_o flesh_n in_o he_o it_o be_v likely_a therefore_o that_o he_o feel_v sometime_o the_o motion_n of_o carnal_a lust_n but_o yet_o not_o doubt_n these_o motion_n be_v well_o suppress_v in_o he_o by_o the_o great_a and_o grievous_a affliction_n &_o tentation_n both_o of_o mind_n and_o body_n wherewith_o to_o he_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n continual_o exercise_v &_o vex_v as_o his_o epistle_n do_v declare_v or_o if_o he_o at_o any_o time_n be_v merry_a &_o strong_a feel_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n wrath_n impatiency_n or_o such_o like_a yet_o he_o resist_v they_o by_o the_o spirit_n and_o suffer_v not_o those_o motion_n to_o bear_v rule_n in_o he_o therefore_o let_v we_o in_o no_o wise_n suffer_v such_o comfortable_a place_n whereby_o paul_n describe_v the_o battle_n of_o the_o flesh_n against_o the_o spirit_n in_o his_o own_o body_n to_o be_v corrupt_v with_o such_o foolish_a gloss_n the_o schoolman_n the_o monk_n and_o such_o other_o never_o feel_v any_o spiritual_a tentation_n and_o therefore_o they_o fight_v only_o for_o the_o repress_v and_o overcome_v of_o fleshly_a lust_n and_o lechery_n and_o be_v proud_a of_o that_o victory_n which_o they_o never_o yet_o obtain_v tentation_n they_o think_v themselves_o far_o better_o and_o more_o holy_a than_o marry_a man_n i_o will_v not_o say_v that_o under_o this_o holy_a pretence_n rhey_n nourish_v and_o maintain_v all_o kind_n of_o horrible_a sin_n as_o dissension_n pride_n hatred_n disdain_n &_o despise_v of_o their_o neighbour_n trust_v in_o their_o own_o righteousness_n presumption_n contempt_n of_o all_o godliness_n and_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n infidelity_n blasphemy_n and_o such_o like_a against_o these_o sin_n they_o never_o fight_v nay_o rather_o they_o take_v they_o to_o be_v no_o sin_n at_o all_o they_o put_v righteousness_n in_o the_o keep_n of_o their_o foolish_a and_o wicked_a vow_n and_o unrighteousness_n in_o the_o neglect_v and_o contemn_v of_o the_o same_o but_o this_o must_v be_v our_o
