between incontinence and intemperance (Ethic. lib. 7 cap. 3) Where incontinence (άχζασία) reigns, he says, that through the passion (πάθος) particular knowledge is suppressed: so that the individual sees not in his own misdeed the evil which he sees generally in similar cases; but when the passion is over, repentance immediately succeeds. Intemperance (αχολασία,) again, is not extinguished or diminished by a sense of sin, but, on the contrary, persists in the evil choice which it has once made.
