As for the well-known saying, "No man voluntarily is wicked or

involuntarily happy," it is partly true, partly false; for no man

is happy against his will, of course, but wickedness is

voluntary. Or must we dispute the statements lately made, and not

say that Man is the originator or generator of his actions as

our actions to any other originations beside those in our own

power, those things must be in our own power, and so voluntary,

the originations of which are in ourselves.
