whereas_o the_o orthodox_n do_v acknowledge_v a_o conflict_n with_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o flesh_n abide_v in_o every_o regenerate_a man_n but_o to_o this_o the_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o

and_o first_o it_o be_v call_v so_o because_o of_o its_o opposition_n to_o what_o be_v spiritual_a whatsoever_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n reveal_v to_o be_v believe_v or_o command_v to_o be_v obey_v it_o be_v whole_o contradict_v by_o man_n while_o abide_v in_o the_o flesh_n thus_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 8._o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v enmity_n against_o god_n you_o see_v here_o be_v not_o only_o a_o mere_a privation_n of_o what_o be_v spiritual_a but_o a_o positive_a enmity_n and_o frowardness_n against_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o do_v not_o speak_v enough_o to_o describe_v the_o fullness_n of_o our_o natural_a evil_n when_o we_o say_v that_o we_o come_v naked_a into_o the_o world_n without_o the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o his_o spirit_n for_o original_a sin_n have_v a_o
