a treatise on good works- 第26部分

these　evil　desires　do　no　harm　to　our　neighbor；　and　yet　they

continue　unto　the　grave；　and　the　strife　in　us　against　them

endures　unto　death；　therefore　these　two　Commandments　are　drawn

together　by　St。　Paul　into　one；　Romans　vii；　and　are　set　as　a　goal

unto　which　we　do　not　attain；　and　only　in　our　thoughts　reach　after

until　death。　For　no　one　has　ever　been　so　holy　that　he　felt　in

himself　no　evil　inclination；　especially　when　occasion　and

temptation　were　offered。　For　original　sin　is　born　in　us　by

nature；　and　may　be　checked；　but　not　entirely　uprooted；　except

through　the　death　of　the　body；　which　for　this　reason　is

profitable　and　a　thing　to　be　desired。　To　this　may　God　help　us。

Amen。
