the Spirit and the flesh, in the new borne Christians, in whom they continually striue together, as the twinnes did in Rebeccaes wombe; the Spirit striuing against the flesh, and the flesh lusting against the Spirit, without truce or reconcilement: hell and Heauen, light and darkenesse, God and Sathan, being no more contrary in quality, then the Spirit and the flesh. Here I call to minde, that it was taught, that in Scripture phrase, Spi∣rit, grace, new man, law of the mind, in this argument were Synonyma, and of one signification: also flesh, old man, corruption, law of the members, were equiua∣lent termes, importing one thing; so as euery regene∣rate man hauing these in him, consisted of a double man, and had two men warring in him perpetually, du∣ring his whole pilgrimage: the old man, which is that remainder of sinne, that vicious quality deprauing and poysoning our Nature, inclining to the breach of Gods Law, which is vsually called, the flesh. That which is borne of flesh, is flesh; Iohn 3. 6. And abstaine from the lusts of the flesh; 1 Peter 2. 12. And corruption, as Ephe. 4. 22. The old man is corrupt, for it causeth spirituall vn∣soundnesse, wasting all where it reigneth: lastly, Law of the members, because in faculties and powers of soule and body, it hath force of a king, or law to command and enioyne absolutely in wicked men; but in the rege∣nerate, with resistance. And the other man, is the new man, which is that quality of holinesse created in mind and will, renewed by the Spirit of God; hence called The Spirit and Grace, because it is freely giuen and wor∣keth things gracious and pleasing to God: and lastly, The Law of the minde, because there it gouernes as a Law or Commander. Now the opposition and strife
