First, Improperly, and Tropically. Secondly, Literally or Properly.

Happy are they that find their flesh, in this sense, consuming away; and 'tis that which every man is studying (who knows what godliness means) the consumption of this flesh, even the mortification of his lusts, of pride and earthliness, of wrath, envy, and unbelief.
