Then you have the Antidote it self, Walk in the Spirit. The only way to prevent all those importunate temptations of the flesh, is to give up your selves to the Spirit, to obtain the direction and illumination thereof, as also the inclination and powerful operation of it, whereby we may be established in that which is good, To know what is good, and then to be enabled to do it, which if done, he declareth the blessed effect and issue thereof, Ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Some (as Beza) readeth this imperatively, because of the [Greek or Hebrew], but the Text he instanceth in is not parallel to this. And Grotius bringeth in several places, where this [Greek or Hebrew] relateth to the future. This then is the happy issue of a man, who keepeth wholly to the Spirit of God enlightening and working by the Word, that he shall get dominion over the lusts of the flesh, He shall not fulfil them: He doth not say, he shall not have them, he shall not feel, and perceive them working in him, for that cannot be in this life; only he shall ⟨p. 475⟩not fulfil them, which is the same as to walk in the flesh, and to mind the things of the flesh, which those that live in the Spirit, and walk in the Spirit cannot do.
