10. Especially understand how much the flesh and carnal self is an Enemy to God and your souls: and how much you are engaged by the Christian Covenant to live in a warfare against your selves, ⟨p. 166⟩and against your flesh. You must not think the life of self-pleasing is consistent with Religion: understand how you are bound to take the flesh for your enemy, to watch against it, and to live in a continual combat with it, Col. 3. 5. The flesh is your chiefest enemy: the very senses themselves are all grown inordinate, and the work of faith is very much seen in its exercise this way; if you get an opinion that you may eat, and drink, and clothe, &c. and do all things to gratify your selves, &c. then no wonder if you find but little increase in spirituals, while you grow so carnal. Understand and practise the duty of Self-denial. Self is the very heart of sin: Humour it not, under pretence of liberty in Religion.
