ABSTRACT
MAns naturall life consists (as in part wee have heard) in the Act of the soule united personally with the body, by meanes of the animall, natural, and vitall spirits: which the Apostle calls living in the flesh Philip.I.22. which is to live neither to the flesh to fulfill the lusts thereof, nor yet is it to live according to the flesh directing our waies by our owne carnall wisdome and will : but, thereby is intimated living in a fraile and sinfull body, subject to manifold troubles and infirmities : in which regard, it is fading and temporary life, as Saint lames tels us, I am. 4.14. comparing it to a vapour that vanisheth away.
