11. Of the Fifth Kind of Evil Men. of the Fifth Kind Are Slaves or Men of a Servile Condition. Moreover There Are *four Things Which Render Men Slaves, Devoid of Liberty, Base and Unworthy of Divine Grace. the First Is That They Regard Themselves and Their Personal Profit, and Shun Their Own Discomfort or Loss : That Is, They Desire to Escape the Flames of Hell, and to Enjoy Heavenly Delights, and for the Sake of These Things They Do or They Omit to Do All These Things. Such Men Readily Perform Great Works, the More That They Have Themselves as an End in Everything. the Second Is That They Are Being Held Back Through the Fear of Losing or the Hope of Gain ; and Indeed Certain of Such Men Shrink from No Earthly Matters Whatever, That They May Attain Eternal Things. the Third Is That They Esteem Their Own Works and Their Own Condition, and Rely on and Confide in Their Own Deeds Rather Than in That Liberty in Respect of Which They Are the Heirs of God, and Redeemed by the Blood of Christ. the Fourth Is That They Render Themselves Hired Servants ; for Unless They Hope to Obtain Their Reward from God in No Wise Would They Be Serving Him ; and They Are More Afraid of Being Stricken with the Sentence of Eternal Dam Nation Than of Offending God, and They Strive After the Kingdom of God Itself and Their Own Happiness in It, Rather Than to Bestow Endless Praise on God and to Remain for Ever His Free Servants. Therefore Such Men Are Without Knowledge of Liberty, Nor Are They Touched by Divine Love, Since They Regard Themselves in Everything. But Charity Strives After and Seeks the Honour of God, and Renders a Man Forgetful of Himself, and Self-denying, and Also Hopeful and Trustful Most of All in God, and Brings About in Him the Desire of Serving God Continually in True Chanty Both in the Life Temporal as in the Life Eternal, and the Intention of Yielding to God Himself His Own Kingdom and That He Himself Is to Enjoy It for Ever. in This Understanding, Such Servants Ought to Yield and Convert Their Intention to God by a Certain Liberty of This Kind, Since by 'this Very Action They Are About to Become Capable of Divine Grace, to Reap Their Own Deeds and Attain to Eternal Life
