In this final part, Downham suggests that the 'flesh' is far more than just a sensual or bodily substance (as 'Papists' mistakenly believe), but possesses rather a distinctively spiritual dimension, which must be encountered and rejected spiritually. Downham cultivated powerful friends and patrons throughout his career, who may have protected him from accusations of nonconformity: the second part of the Christian Warfare was dedicated to Thomas Egerton, Lord Ellesmere, the third to George Abbot, Archbishop of Canterbury, and this part to Francis Bacon, Ellesmere's successor as Lord Chancellor.
