So that the lust of the flesh, called in Greek 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, which some do expound the Wisdom, some Sensuality, some the Affection, some the Desire of the flesh, is not subject to the Law of Godf, and therefore in every person Born into this world, it deser∣veth Gods wrath and damnationg. And this infection of na∣ture doth remain, yea in them that are regenerateh, whereby the flesh lusteth alwaies contrary to the Spiriti. And although there is no condemnation for them that are regenerate and do believek, yet the Apostle doth confess that concupis∣cence and lust is truly and properly sinl.
