- 1Carnal. The several significations it hath in Scripture.
Now you must know this word or attribute [carnal] hath several significations in Scripture; sometimes it signifieth no more, than to partake of the same stock with us. Thus the Apostle calls them carnal Masters, or Masters after the flesh, Ephes. 6.5. And the Apostle makes a distinction between being in the flesh, and walking after the flesh, 2 Cor. 10.3.
