We see then that Paul calleth afflictions the infirmities of the flesh which he suffered in the flesh, like as yt other Apostles, the Prophets, & all godly men did: notwithstanding he was mighty in spirit. For the power of Christ was in him, which always reigned & triumphed through him. Which thing he testifieth in yt. 2. Cor. 12. with these words:1 For when I am weak, then am I strong. Also: I vvil gladly rejoice in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me. And in the .2. chapter. Thanks be to God which always maketh us to triumph in Christ. 2As though he would say: In deed the Devil, the Jews & the Gentiles rage cruelly against us: notwithstanding we continue constant & invincible against all their assaults,3 & will they nil they our doctrine prevaileth & triumpheth. This was the strength & power of yt spirit in Paul, against the which he setteth here the infirmity and bondage of the flesh.
