And yet there is a liberty, because there is a principle in them that resists the flesh.

Gods children are hindered in good duties by an §61inevitable weakness in nature, as after labour with drowsiness, therefore the Spirit may be willing when the flesh is weak. If we strive therefore against this deadness and dullness, Christ is ready to make excuse for us, if the heart be right, as he did for his Disciples.
