generate part,
which cannot
fitlie
be
called
by
our name,be..
caufe
it
is
mortified alreadie in fome meafure, and fhall be
fullie
abolifhed
by
the fpirit
ofGod
;
neither
doth
it
line
the
farne
fpirituall life
with
vs,
feeing it
is
not
quickned by
the
fame
fpirit
:
and therefore
as
thofe
who
haue diuers foules,
which
giue
vnto them
life
andmotion,are
themfelues diuers
and
alfo called
by
diuers
names
;
fo
the
new and
old man
li-
uing
as
it
were
by
diners foules,the one
being
quickned
with
Gods
fpirit,
the other by
Satan
(whereof
it
conuneth
to
paffe,that the
more
the
one
liueth
the other dieth,the more
flrong
the
fpirit is,the weaker
is
the flefh;
and
the
anions of
both
are
quite contrarie) therefore they
may
fitly
be called
by
diners names
:
neither
can
the aelions of
the
flefh
bee
afcribed
to the
fpirit properly, feeing
they
are
contrarie the
one
to
the other. For
as
if
a cion
of
a crab
tree, and another
ofa
pepin tree
being
grafted
into
the
fame
flocke
doe
both
bring
forth their
feuerall
fruites,the
one
crabbs,the other
pet
pins,
it
may
fitlie
be
faid
this tree
bringeth
forth either
pe-
pins or crabs,becaufe they
grow
in
the
farne
flocke
;
but
yet
it
cannot bee trulie
faid
that
the
crab tree cion
bringeth
foorth
pepins,or the pepin cion
crabs
:
fo becaufe
the
flefh
and the
fpirit
are
ioined
together
in
the
fame
bodie
and
foule,we may
in this
refpe&
fay
that
this
man finneth,or
doth
that
which
is
good;butyet
when
we
fpeak .of
the regenerate
or carnali
man properly
and
feuerallie,as we
cannot truly
fay
that
the
flefh
doth
any
good,
fo
neither
canwe
truly
affirme
that
the fpirit
&
regenerate
man
doth
commit
that
which
is
euil,but(as ÿ
Apoffle fpeaketh)frn
which dwelleth with
him.
And though
the
flefh
be the farre greater
part,yet doth
it
not
denominate
&
glue
the
name
to
the
chriflian
&
his
a6tions,
becaufe
it
is
partly mortified, partly
in
mortifying,
and
part-
ly
to
be mortified,
that
is,
deputed
and
deflinated
to
death
and
deflru6hion;and alto becaufe
it
is
the
worfe and more vn-
worthie part
without
compare,and confequently
not
to giue
the
name
:
for
as
wine mixt
with
water
is called
fill
wine,:
though
the
water
exceede
the
wine in
quantitie,becaufe it
ig
the
More
excellent
fubflance;
fo
the
flefh
being
mixt with
-
the
fpirit,
though
it
be
in
greater
quantitie,
it
doth
not giue
