Forsomuch as the body is but as it were the instrument of the soul, by the which she worketh, and doth her works: wherefore if there be fault in the work, the fault may not be attributed to the instrument, but rather to the worker which worketh, ⟨p. 183⟩or else if there be fault in the instrument, it is greater in the worker, which worketh evil.
