Genesis 15: Gods covenant with Abraham
Genesis 16: Hagar/Ishmael
Genesis 17: The sign of circumcision
“Flesh”=“natural” (Strongs) “merely of human origin or empowerment” (HELPS)
When I was a monk I was unwilling to omit any of the prayers, but when I was busy with public lecturing and writing I often accumulated my appointed prayers for a whole week, or even two or three weeks.
Then I would take a Saturday off, or shut myself in for as long as three days without food and drink, until I had said the prescribed prayers.
This made my head split, and as a consequence I could not close my eyes for five nights, lay sick unto death, and went out of my senses” (LW, Vol.
54, p. 85).
I was a good monk, and I kept the rules of my order so strictly that I may say that if ever a monk got to heaven by his monkery it was I.
All my brothers in the monastery who knew me will bear me out.
If I had kept on any longer, I should have killed myself with vigils, prayers, reading, and other work” (cited in Bainton, p. 45).
Then, bowed down by sorrow, I tortured myself by the multitude of my thoughts.
‘Look,’ exclaimed I, ‘thou art still envious, impatient, passionate!
It profiteth thee nothing, O wretched man, to have entered this sacred order’” (cited in D’Aubigne, 1950, p. 31).
