73 Those who prosper for a while (as Turk and Pope) without Gods ⟨p. 24⟩counsel and direction, they are but rods of his anger, and instruments of his indignation, and shall prosper no longer than they are in their Executioners Office, Isa. 10.12. and 24.25. Yea, as Prosperity is Gods blessing on the good, 'tis his curse on the wicked, Prov. 1.32, 33.
74 Sickness, and beating down the body, may weaken the acts, but not destroy the lusts of the flesh; they may make unable but not unwilling to sin: This is done only by the Spirit, Rom. 8.13. If ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if ye through the Spirit, do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. And Gal. 4.24, 25. They that are Christs have crucified the flesh, with its affections and lusts: and if we live in the Spirit, let us walk in the Spirit.
