In The Midst Of The Affliction He

Holy Christendom Has, In My Judgment, No Better Teacher After The Apostles Than St. Augustine.

It Is Certainly True That Reason Is The Most Important And The Highest Rank Among All Things And, In Comparison With Other Things Of This Life, The Best And Something Divine. It Is The Inventor And Mentor Of All The Arts, Medicines, Laws, And Of Whatever Wisdom, Power, Virtue, And Glory Men Possess In This Life.
