In isto Evangelio pro materia nostra habemus colligere fructum et reportare nobis fructus ut illa anima sustentata faciliter perveniat ad arborem vite. Et quoniam dixit quod circa istum fontem piscine iacebant languidi, id est delicati, ceci sua vitia non cognocentes, claudi id est mundum et deum simul diligere volentes, et aridi, id est sine humore caritatis, et ideo pro nostro fructu queram circa hoc duas questiones. Prima si defectus naturales, puta vitia et peccata, veniant per naturam vel aliter. Hoc est querere si persona que est carnalis, superba, iracunda, si id vitium trahitur a ventre matris vel habet aliunde. Secunda questio est: cum homines non habent solum vitia sed et virtutes, quero utrum inclinetur magis ad bonum quam ad malum.

In this Gospel, for our discourse, we have to collect a fruit and to bring those fruits so that the soul nourished will reach easier to the three of life. And since I told you that around the water of this pool lay people who were sick, i.e. weak, blind, i.e. who did not know their vices, lame, i.e. wanting to love both this world and God, and withered, i.e. without the fluid of charity, therefore as a fruit for us I will discuss two issues. The first is whether natural defects, such as vices and sins, come from nature or otherwise. This is to ask whether a person who is carnal, proud, irascible, whether this vice stems from the mother’s womb or from something else. The second question is: when people do not have only vices but also virtues, whether one would tend more to good than to bad.
