The Text.
And do not the cares of the flesh, to fulfil them.
And do not the cares of the fleshe, to fulfill them.
That is to say, do not the thing that the flesh swadeth and would have thee to do, neither live not after the affection of the flesh. This is the sum and conclusion of a Christian life, that we follow not the lusts and desires of our corrupt nature. The necessities of our flesh, we must help, that it may serve us, and not we it, as the Lord give us grace to do.

The necessities of our flesh, we must helpe, that it may serue vs, and not we it, as the Lorde giue vs grace to doe.
Amen.
