Annotatio IV §.II: Second fountain — Error of intellect when will-pravity is loosed; near sources of error

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

The second fountain is error of intellect — which anyone who loosens the reins to will-pravity is apt to fall into; conversely, whoever hates malice draws nearer the truth (Ps. 25:14; Matt. 5:8; John 7:17).

Error is born nearby from prejudices, passions in the saddle, warped schooling and teaching, the reading of slanderous books, and the like.

Latin

Matt. 5. v. 8. Joh. 7. v. 17. Subnascitur autem error proximè ex praejudiciis, affectuum praedominio etiam educatione & informatione perversis, lectione librorum calumniosorum, hisque similibus;
