In the 8 chap. he comforteth those which fight so with their own flesh:1 also he declareth that the relics of sin can not hurt us: that there is no condemn nation to them that are in Jesus Christ, which walk not after the flesh, but according to the spirit. Furthermore, he doeth ⟨image 33⟩explicate at large the nature of the flesh & spirit, showing that the spirit is given to man only by Christ. He that hath not the spirit of Christ (saith he) the same man is none of his. Again, as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For it is the Spirit alone which doth innovate & renew our hearts, which doeth make them spiritual, which doth encourage us with sweet and loving affects and motions: lastly which doth give testimony & bear witness unto our spirits, that we are the very sons of God, teaching us that we (although sin doth boil with rage within our flesh) have God for our Father, & may account our selves his sons, if so be that we do daily by the spirit ⟨image 33⟩wrestle against the flesh.
