But they object against us, that [saying] unto the Galatians; 1The flesh lusteth against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh: as though this may not be, if in the minds of men, we leave nothing that is sound. But we will easily answer to this objection; for first, those words are pronounced by Paul, as touching believers, which be already regenerated: which thing those words that follow, do sufficiently declare; That ye do not those things which ye would. By which words he declareth, that they obtained a right will by the spirit of Christ; which nevertheless they could not accomplish, by reason of the continual conflicts of the mind, and their great infirmities. And therefore the apostle meant no other thing in that place, than that whatsoever is in us not perfectly regenerated, all that doth strive against the spirit of God. 2Nor do we deny, but that some such conflict is otherwhile in men, which be not yet regenerated: not that their mind is not carnal, and prone unto naughtiness, but because the laws of nature are as yet engraven therein, and that also there is some illumination of Gods spirit in the same, although it be not such as either can justify, or bring in any change to salvation.
But they obiect against vs, that [saeing] vnto the Galathians; 1The flesh lusteth against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh: as though this may not be, if in the minds of men, we leaue nothing that is sound. But we will easilie answer to this obiection; for first, those words are pronounced by Paule, as touching beléeuers, which be alredie regenerated: which thing those words that followe, doo sufficientlie declare; That ye doo not those things which yee would. By which words he declareth, that they obteined a right will by the spirit of Christ; which neuertheles they could not accomplish, by reason of the continual conflicts of the mind, and their great infirmities. And therefore the apostle ment no other thing in that place, than that whatsoeuer is in vs not perfectlie regenerated, all that dooth striue against the spirit of God. 2Nor doo we denie, but that some such conflict is otherwhile in men, which be not yet regenerated: not that their mind is not carnall, and prone vnto naughtines, but bicause the lawes of nature are as yet ingrauen therein, and that also there is some illumination of Gods spirit in the same, although it be not such as either can iustifie, or bring in anie change to saluation.
