¶. 1.
The next Proposition that may give light to the weighty truth about the spiritual conflict that is in the most regenerate persons is this, That besides the reasons formerly produced, and many others which might be named, there are two famous places of Scripture, which do most signally and eminently declare such a combat in the most holy men. The first is this of my Text, which hath sufficiently been explained and vindicated from corrupt Interpretations. And truly the light of this Text shineth so clearly, that there are very few who are not convinced that this speaketh of the fight which regenerate persons find in themselves between those two contrary principles of the Spirit and flesh which are within them. The second place, which doth so firmly establish such a conflict in those who by grace are made new creatures, is Rom. 7. from v. 14. to the end of the Chapter, where we have a most palpable delineation of this duel that is fought in the inwards of a godly man; but that place is not so freely consented unto, as this Text I am upon.
