GERMANUS: Although some glimmer of the sense nosy seems clear to us,
yet as we cannot thoroughly grasp the Apostle's meaning, we want you to
explain this more clearly to us. For the existence of three things seems to
be indicated here: first, the struggle of the flesh against the spirit,
secondly the desire of the spirit against the flesh, and thirdly our own
free will, which seems to be placed between the two, and of which it is
said: "Ye should not do what ye will." And on this subject though as I said
we can gather some hints, from what you have explained of the meaning, yet-
-since this conference gives the opportunity--we are anxious to have it
more fully explained to us.
