Furthermore he declared, how the spirit, and the flesh fight together in one man, and maketh an ensample of him self, that we might learn to know that work a right, I mean to kill sin in our selves. He calleth both the spirit, and also the flesh a law, because that like as the nature of Gods law is 1to drive, to compel, and to crave, even so the flesh driveth, compelleth, craveth and rageth, against the spirit, and will have her lusts satisfied. On the other side driveth the spirit, crieth and fighteth against the flesh, and will have his lust satisfied. And this strife dureth in 2us, as long as we live, in some more & in some less, as the spirit or the flesh is stronger, & the very man his own self is both the spirit and the flesh, which fighteth with his own self, until sin be utterly slain, and he all together spiritual.
Furthermore he declared, how the spirite, and the flesh fight together in one man, and maketh an ensample of him self, that we might learne to know that worke a right, I meane to kill sinne in our selues. He calleth both the spirit, and also the flesh a law, because that like as the nature of Gods law is 1to driue, to compell, and to craue, euen so the flesh driueth, compelleth, craueth and rageth, agaynst the spirite, and wil haue her lustes satisfied. On the other side driueth the spirite, crieth and fighteth against the flesh, and will haue his lust satisfied. And this strife dureth in 2vs, as long as we liue, in some more & in some lesse, as the spirite or the flesh is stronger, & the very man his owne selfe is both the spirite and the fleshe, which fighteth with his owne self, vntil sinne be vtterly slayne, and he all together spirituall.
