The same Apostle speaking of the co-habitation, and the co-operation of flesh and spirit in regenerate persons, that the one did lust against the other, and the one was contrary to the other, and that by reason of the rebellion and unruliness of the one, we could not 1do the good which we would; he yet comforteth them in such a condition in the next words, If ye be led by the Spirit, 2ye are not under the Law. As if he had said, Notwithstanding all this rebellious opposition of your flesh, if yet ye yield not to be servants to it, but approve of, and incline unto, and follow in your hearts & courses the rules of the Spirit, the condition is very good & safe.
