You Must Consider, When Reading This Treatise,

All Attributes Ascribed To God Are Attributes Of His Acts, And Do Not Imply That God Has Any Qualities.

Man's Shortcomings And Sins Are All Due To The Substance Of The Body And Not To Its Form; While All His Merits Are Exclusively Due To His Form.

Whatever Form It Has, It [matter] Will Be Disposed To Receive Another Form; It Never Leaves Off Moving And Casting Off The Form Which It Has In Order To Receive Another. ...it Is Therefore Clear That All Corruption, Destruction, Or Defect Comes From Matter.

The Third Class Of Evils Comprise Those Which Everyone Causes To Himself By His Own Action. This Is The Largest Class, And Is Far More Numerous Than The Second Class. It Is Especially Of These Evils That All Men Complain, - Only Few Men Are Found That Do Not Sin Against Themselves By This Kind Of Evil. ...this Class Of Evil Originates In Man's Vices, Such As Excessive Desire For Eating, Drinking, And Love; Indulgence In These Things In Undue Measure, Or In Improper Manner, Or Partaking Of Bad Food. This Course Brings Diseases And Afflictions Upon The Body And Soul Alike.

The Risk Of A Wrong Decision Is Preferable To The Terror Of Indecision.
