Anne Bradstreet’s poem “The Flesh and the Spirit” condensed centuries of sermons by protestant preachers into a hundred five line poetic sermon. ... These two sides, Anne calls sisters and names them Flesh and Spirit. ... (Matthew 6:33)
Anne Bradstreet accepts the fact that she is not perfect and that there is a part of her that seeks after the evils of this world; just as Paul discussed in Romans, she struggled to do what is right by God. ... She tells Flesh that they have different fathers “… Thou by old Adam…but my arise is from above;” Anne says this to show the sin connection of the body to an earthly father, Adam and a spiritual connection for the spirit.
