ROM. 8. 13. But if ye through the Spirit doe mortifie the deeds of the Body, ye shall live.
I Come now to the last Name, I shall insist upon, that the Scripture giveth original sin, and that is a Body; For although the most famous, and notable name is flesh, yet because that will most properly be considered, when we speak of the Nature and Definition of it, I shall put it off till that time; Only we must necessarily take notice of this Title given to it here, and elsewhere, (viz.) a Body: Not that this word is to foment the Illyrican absurdity, That original sin is not an accident, but a substance; but hereby is manifested the real and powerful efficacy of it upon the whole man: For the coherence of the words, the Apostle at vers. 12. from that glorious and precious Doctrine of Justification by Faith, and also Sanctification begun in us, doth infer this Exhortation by way of Conclusion, That therefore we are not Debtors to the Flesh, we have received such great and unspeakable favours from God, that we owe all to him; as for sin, called here the Flesh, we owe nothing at all to that, sin will not justify us, sin will not save us: Neither hath the Devil showed that love to us, which Christ hath done.
