Temperance is a disposition that restrains our desires for things which it is base to desire.

His knowledge is not like ours, which has three tenses; present, past, and future. God's knowledge has no change or variation.

Lord, who art always the same, give that I know myself, give that I know Thee.

Thou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art empty.

Narrow is the mansion of my soul; enlarge Thou it, that Thou mayest enter in. It is ruinous; repair Thou it. It has that within which must offend Thine eyes; I confess and know it. But who shall cleanse it? or to whom should I cry, save Thee? Lord, cleanse me from my secret faults, and spare Thy servant from the power of the enemy. I believe, and therefore do I speak.
