The old man 1. the original corruption, which1 is the root of all sin, and therefore is called2 sin it self, and a law of the members, for that it giveth direction to all the members, as a law, to do that which is naught, as it giveth direction to the3 hand, foot, eyes, and tongue, to sin. Therefore in Rom. 7. 25. the Apostle saith, I serve in my flesh the law of sin. And it doth not only give direction, but as a law, it ruleth us: for we can no sooner have a wicked motion, put into us, to be moved to a wicked thing, but presently it setteth us in hand, and setteth us about it, till we be regenerated.

Therefore in Rom. 7. 25. the Apostle saith, I serue in my flesh the law of sinne. And it doth not onely giue direction, but as a law, it ruleth vs: for we can no sooner haue a wicked motion, put into vs, to be moued to a wicked thing, but presently it setteth vs in hand, and setteth vs about it, till we be regenerated.
