2. Man is both an Actor in, and a Theatre of the greatest action and noblest conflict in the World, though usually invisible, and therefore not so much observed. Prov. 16.32. He that conquers himself is a nobler Hero, than Alexander who conquered a great part of the World.

3. In the state of Innocency there was no conflict, in the state of Glory there will be no conflict, there being no corruption to combat with Grace. In a state of Minority (as in Infants and Fools) there is no conflict till reason begin to dawn, and with it Conscience to actuate common Principles against the motions of innate corruption. In a state of corruption there is no spiritual conflict, because there is no renewing Grace to combat with Corruption that strong man that keeps all in peace till a stronger than he comes. Luke 11.21, 22.
