OF these faults then there are two classes. For they are either natural
to us as gluttony, or arise outside of nature as covetousness. But their
manner of acting on us is fourfold. For some cannot be consummated without
an act on the part of the flesh, as gluttony and fornication, while some
can be completed without any bodily act, as pride and vainglory. Some find
the reasons for their being excited outside us, as covetousness and anger;
others are aroused by internal feelings, as accidie and dejection.
