Only madness could get you to acknowledge any faculty of greater authority than the will. Or are you really that deaf and blind? [23] Does this mean that our other faculties should be despised? Of course not. We certainly do not say that there is nothing to be used or gained apart from the will; that is stupid, besides being impious and ungrateful to God. Each thing must be given its due. [24] Even a donkey has some utility, only not as much as an ox.
