COncupiscentiall (a) Disobedience] The lust of the bodie is mooued of it selfe euen a∣gainst all resistance and contradiction of the will: and then the will being ouercome by the flesh, from hence ariseth shame, as we will shew more at large hereafter. (b) Dying flesh] Our members being subiect vnto death doe die euery day, and yet seeme to haue in them a life distinct from the life of the soule: if then the lustfull motions that betide vs in sleepe, bee faltlesse, because the will doth not consent, but nature effects them without it; how much more faltlesse shall those bee, wherein the will is so so farre from resting onely, that it resists and striues against them?
