your want of self-government you create a scandal for others. Or again, being thwarted by others, you become suddenly confounded and fall. Sometimes however you must resist manfully your sensual appetite, nor regard what the flesh would or would not do;  but rather taking pains that even against its will it may be made subject to the Spirit.† And it ought to be chastised and to be forced to remain under servitude, until it is prepared for all things and learns to be content with little, and to be pleased with simple things, nor to murmur against anything that suits it not. •
