[110] συνεργοῖς δὲ ὁ ἄφρων ἀξιοῖ
πρὸς τὸ ἁμαρτάνειν οὐκ ἀρκούμενος αὑτῷ μόνῳ χρῆσθαι, καὶ προτρέπει μὲν ὅρασιν, προτρέπει δὲ ἀκοήν, παρακαλεῖ δὲ πᾶσαν αἴσθησιν ἀνυπερθέτως αὐτῷ συντετάχθαι, φερούσης ἑκάστης τὰ πρὸς ὑπηρεσίαν ἐπιτήδεια πάντα· ἐπαίρει μέντοι καὶ παραθήγει καὶ τὸ ἄλλο ἀτίθασον ἐκ φύσεως τῶν παθῶν στῖφος, ἵνα ἄσκησιν καὶ μελέτην προσλαβὸν
ἀνύποιστον γένηται.

[110] And the wicked man seeks for coadjutors in his practise of wickedness, not looking upon himself as sufficient by himself. And he exhorts the sight, and he exhorts the hearing, and he exhorts every outward sense in succession, to range itself on his side without delay, and every one of them to bring to him ¹ all things necessary for his service. And he raises up and sharpens all the rest of the company of the passions, which are by their own nature unmanageable, in order that by the addition of practise and care they may become irresistible.
