for_o the_o further_a open_v of_o the_o word_n here_o be_v observation_n three_o thing_n of_o special_a observation_n three_o thing_n of_o special_a observation_n 1._o the_o diverse_a acceptation_n of_o the_o word_n flesh_n in_o the_o compass_n of_o this_o text._n first_o it_o note_v mankind_n with_o all_o its_o ability_n and_o excellency_n uphold_v in_o man_n of_o here_o 1._o the_o word_n flesh_n take_v four_o way_n here_o god_n himself_o in_o his_o long-suffering_a since_o the_o fall_n in_o these_o word_n weak_a through_o the_o flesh_n second_o it_o note_v out_o the_o humane_a

soak_v with_o sin_n under_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n weak_a frail_a flesh_n the_o soul_n and_o its_o endowment_n beslave_v to_o the_o flesh_n to_o the_o sense_n to_o the_o sensual_a apperite_n to_o the_o thing_n the_o outward_a man_n the_o flesh_n desire_v insomuch_o that_o the_o whole_a man_n may_v well_o be_v call_v flesh_n three_o it_o note_v the_o humane_a nature_n frail_a and_o mortal_a

of_o man_n nature_n in_o the_o word_n walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n now_o from_o these_o several_a acceptation_n of_o the_o word_n flesh_n we_o gather_v that_o four_o observation_n from_o that_o
first_o what_o man_n be_v since_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n take_v he_o with_o all_o ability_n in_o his_o best_a estate_n here_o out_o of_o christ_n he_o be_v but_o weak_a frail_a mortal_a and_o sinful_a flesh_n mortal_a and_o sinful_a man_n he_o be_v flesh_n that_o be_v carnal_a sensual_a and_o whole_o corrupt_v with_o sin_n he_o be_v utter_o unable_a to_o keep_v the_o holy_a law_n of_o god_n to_o fulfil_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n to_o make_v satisfaction_n to_o god_n justice_n for_o the_o least_o sin_n by_o all_o the_o righteousness_n he_o can_v by_o himself_o attain_v unto_o and_o therefore_o whole_o unable_a to_o escape_v condemnation_n second_o we_o may_v here_o learn_v that_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v man_n consist_v of_o body_n and_o soul_n though_o frail_a and_o mortal_a even_o weak_a die_a flesh_n enfeeble_v in_o his_o ability_n and_o operation_n both_o of_o body_n and_o mind_n be_v not_o in_o that_o regard_n sinful_a for_o then_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o become_v flesh_n who_o take_v on_o he_o our_o nature_n a_o true_a humane_a soul_n and_o body_n and_o our_o nature_n infirm_a frail_a and_o mortal_a our_o very_a flesh_n and_o blood_n must_v needs_o have_v be_v defile_v with_o sin_n but_o he_o know_v no_o sin_n he_o be_v the_o lamb_n without_o spot_n and_o blemish_n therefore_o the_o flesh_n or_o body_n of_o man_n be_v not_o evil_a as_o it_o be_v flesh_n and_o blood_n nor_o the_o desire_n appetite_n or_o weakness_n frailty_n and_o disease_n that_o attend_v it_o no_o more_o than_o the_o mind_n the_o top_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o will_n and_o affection_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o themselves_o evil_a god_n be_v the_o former_a of_o our_o body_n as_o well_o as_o the_o father_n of_o our_o spirit_n and_o god_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o sin_n this_o be_v diligent_o to_o be_v heed_v against_o the_o dream_n of_o most_o heretic_n old_a and_o new_a against_o the_o general_a say_n of_o philosopher_n and_o the_o common_a and_o usual_a conceit_n all_o man_n have_v of_o the_o flesh_n or_o body_n as_o if_o that_o be_v the_o evil_n sin_v blame-worthy_a part_n in_o they_o but_o their_o soul_n their_o heart_n their_o mind_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o mind_n that_o they_o think_v to_o be_v good_a and_o holy_a and_o to_o receive_v its_o defilement_n from_o the_o body_n and_o therefore_o man_n place_v all_o religion_n in_o some_o observation_n of_o abstinence_n bodily_a bodily_a exercise_n as_o touch_v not_o this_o taste_v not_o that_o and_o handle_v not_o the_o other_o or_o in_o some_o neglect_v of_o the_o body_n macerate_v and_o punish_v it_o and_o deny_v satisfaction_n to_o the_o poor_a flesh_n in_o the_o natural_a desire_n thereof_o unto_o which_o weak_a body_n there_o be_v a_o honour_n due_a whereas_o all_o that_o defile_v a_o man_n be_v from_o within_o from_o the_o heart_n and_o soul_n of_o man_n from_o these_o good_a heart_n of_o we_o come_v all_o wickedness_n as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n teach_v three_o here_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o there_o be_v something_o in_o man_n far_o worse_o than_o death_n mortality_n frailty_n or_o any_o disease_n or_o pain_n even_o that_o which_o bring_v all_o

four_o here_o may_v be_v see_v how_o near_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n come_v unto_o we_o he_o come_v so_o near_o that_o he_o take_v to_o himself_o in_o near_a union_n not_o

the_o condition_n which_o sin_n have_v bring_v it_o unto_o the_o very_a likeness_n of_o sinful_a flesh_n our_o infirm_a nature_n a_o soul_n subject_a to_o some_o kind_n of_o ignorance_n to_o
