In-Text § 15. But when I speak of a War between the Flesh and the Spirit, I do not mean onely the visible and gross Body of Flesh, which of it self is but passive, and cannot fight. No 'tis the animated Flesh, the Flesh that is capable of Lusting; It is a fleshliness of Spirit, and a carnality of Reason, which is arm'd with a Wisedom fetch'd up from Hell, and stands in hostile opposition to that which cometh down from Heaven, Jam 3. 14, 15, 16. And accordingly when God had upbraided Israel, with their being a foolish and sottish People, and void of all understanding, he gave the reason of it in this, That they were wise to do evil. (Jer. 4. 22.) Observe the pithy Brevity of That Expression, Because they were Wise, they were therefore Foolish. § 15.
