The Morning exercise [at] Cri[ppleg]ate, or, Several cases of conscience practically resolved

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.

4. The natural conflict is in every godly man, the spiritual conflict is in no wicked or natural man. This I note, to allay the fears of drooping Saints, who finding a conflict between Conscience and Corruption, conclude they are in the state of Nature, and search not for the conflict between Grace and Corruption. This is, as if a man should conclude he is a Beast, because he hath sense like a Beast, not considering that he hath reason superadded, which a Beast is not capable of.
