First, For will you instance in our thoughts, apprehensions, reasonings, and conclusions? Is it not a carnal thing to abound with carnal reasonings? This the Disciples did before Christs Ascension, therefore saith he often to them, Why reason ye so amongst your selves?
Secondly, Or will you instance in the matter of our affections? Is it not a carnal thing for a man to love and savour the things of the world? this Professors may possibly do, witness the Parable of the Thorny ground,
Thirdly, Or will you instance in the matter of our words? Is it a carnal thing to bite and devour one another, and to carry Tales between men. Yet this the Galatians did, If ye bite one another, shall ye not be consumed one of another. Gal, 5.15.
fourthly, Or will you instance in the matter of our condition, Is it not a carnal thing to be discontented with ones condition, and to think that I can carve better for my self, then God hath carved? This the Israelites did, when they said, would God we had staid still in Egypt.
