For what concerns the prosecution and exposition of the Gospel, just as the Church prevented the going to hell yesterday by uttering threats, today she presents a way of righteousness which leads to heaven. And there are three parts:
In the first there is a discussion on the good of justice and righteousness, as will be observed in the beginning [of the Gospel].
In the second the danger of vanity is made clear, so that it is avoided. There it says: all their works.
In the third the humility of the plants is praised, so that the kingdom of heaven is gained. There it says: but you etc.

In this Gospel, based on the matter touched upon, we shall bring home a fruit, and this fruit will be us to see which are the vices that do not allow us to receive the divine grace. From the Gospel and what the Evangelist says, I understand that they are three: the first is the concupiscence of the eyes in the way of vanity, and this is fund when the Gospel says: the woman came out of those regions. Second is the pride of the souls in the way of perversity, since she cried out to Christ. Third is the concupiscence of beasts in the way of sensuality, since [Jesus replied]: It is not good etc. By means of these three vices the devil controls our soul.
