Augustine saith, Thou wilt say, that can my will do, that can my freewill 1do. What will? what manner of freewill? except that he guide thee, thou fallest, except he lift thee up, thou lyest still. How canst thou then do it by thy spirit, seeing that the Apostle saith: As many as be led by the spirit of God, be the children of God. Wilt thou do of thy self? Wilt thou be led of thine own self to mortify the deeds of the flesh? what will it profit thee? For if thou be not an Epicure, thou shalt be a Stoic? Whether thou be an Epicure, or a Stoic, thou shalt not be among the children of God. For they that be guided of the spirit of God, be the children of God: not they that live after their own flesh: not they that live after their own spirit: not they that be led of their own spirit: but as many as be led of the spirit of God, they be the children of God. &c. 270. col. 1
Augustine sayth, Thou wilt say, that can my will doe, that can my freewill 1doe. What will? what manner of freewill? except that hee guide thee, thou fallest, except hee lift thee vp, thou lyest stil. How canst thou then doe it by thy spirite, seeing that the Apostle saith: As many as bee led by the spirite of God, bee the children of God. Wilt thou doe of thy selfe? Wilt thou bee led of thyne owne selfe to mortifie the deedes of the flesh? what will it profite thee? For if thou bee not an Epicure, thou shalt be a Stoicke? Whether thou bee an Epicure, or a Stoicke, thou shalt not be among the children of God. For they that bee guided of the spirite of God, bee the children of God: not they that lyue after their own flesh: not they that lyue after their owne spirite: not they that bee ledde of their owne spirite: but as many as bee ledde of the spirite of God, they bee the children of God. &c. 270. col. 1
