Quia enim non valet nisi tranquilla mens in contemplationis se lucem suspendere, in ira suum oculum turbatum dolebat: quia dum male acta deorsum insequitur, confundi atque turbari a summorum contemplatione cogebatur.
For whereas the mind cannot lift himself up to the light of contemplation except it be still and quiet, therefore he sorrowed to see his eye distempered in his anger: for while he looked downward to punish the transgressions, he was forced to be withdrawn in his trouble from the contemplation of things which are above.
