Flesh and sprite mayest thou not 1here understand, as though flesh were only that which pertaineth unto unchastity, and the spirit that which inwardly pertaineth to the heart: but Paul calleth flesh here as Christ doth, John. 3. All that is borne of flesh, that is to wit, the whole man, with life, soul, body, wit, will, reason, & whatsoever he is, or doth within and without, because that these all, and all that is in man study after the world, and the flesh.

Call fleshe therfore whatsoeuer (as long as we are without yt spirite of GOD) we thinke or speake of God, of fayth, of good workes, and of spirituall matters. Call fleshe also all 2works which are done without grace, and without the working of the sprite, howsoeuer good, holy, and spirituall they seeme to be, as thou mayest proue by the 5. chapter vnto the Galathians, where Paule numbreth worshipping of idoles, witchcraft, enuy and hate among the dedes of the flesh, and by the 8. vnto the Romaines, where he sayth, that the law by the reason of the fleshe is weake, which is not vnderstand of vnchastitie onely, but of all sinnes, and
