Verse. 16. And ye shall not fulfill the lustes of the flesh.
As if he would say:1 The desires or lusts of the flesh be not yet dead in us, but spring up again and fight against the spirit. The flesh of no faithful man is so good, which being offended would not bite and devour, or at the least omit somewhat of that commandment of love. Yea even at the first brunt he can not refrain him self, but is angry with his neighbour, desireth to be revenged, and hateth him as an enemy, or at the least loveth him not so much as he should do, and as this commandment requireth. And this happeneth even to the faithful.
