Job 29:18.
[xxvii]
49.
...whereas it is said to certain persons by our Preacher, I speak after
the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your flesh; for as ye have
yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity;
even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness;
[Rom. 6, 19] without doubt there is a condescending to their infirmity, as
though it were said to them in plainer terms; ‘If ye cannot any way do more,
at all events be ye such in the fruit of good works as ye were for long in
the practising of bad habits, so that the holy freedom of charity may not
possess you weaker persons, whom the habit of earthly pleasure possessed
strong ones in the flesh.
