Excerpt: ...describing takes place in the unregenerate, and that a filial spirit subdues carnal affec-tions, overcomes the world, and enables Christians to walk according to the Spirit; nothing of which is accomplished, while men are in the condition de-scribed in 7: 14--25. Now to what special end of the apostle would it be here subservient, if we suppose him to be describing a state of grace in chap. VII.?
