The latter half of the commandment, I think, shows what is meant. `Non adorabis ea, neque coles' `thou shalt not worship them. At the same time, Saint Paul saith, `Omne autem, quod non est ex fide, peccatum est' `all that is not of faith is sin; and `nisi ei qui existimat quid commune esse, illi commune est': namely, `to him who esteemeth a thing unclean, to him it is unclean. If thou really believest it sin, by no means allow thyself to do it."
Nature made health, and at the same time it was necessary by a kind of concomitance that the source of diseases should be opened up. The same thing applies with regard to virtue; the direct action of Nature, which brought it forth, produced by a counter stroke the brood of vices. Existimat autem non fuisse hoc principale naturae consilium, ut faceret homines morbis obnoxios.
