But it is an inheritance that must be reclaimed by each generation. THE LIBRARY OF CHRISTIAN CLASSICS is designed to present in the English. Language, and in twenty-six volumes of convenient size, a selection of the most indispensable Christian treatises written prior to the end of the sixteenth century. The practice of giving circulation to writings selected for superior worth or special interest was adopted at the beginning of 9hristian history. The canonical Scriptures were themselves a selection from a much wider literature. In the Patristic era there began to appear a class of works of compilation (often designed for ready reference in controversy) of the opinions of well-reputed predecessors, and in the Middle Ages many such works were produced. These medieval anthologies actually preserve some noteworthy materials from works otherwise lost.
In modern times, with the increasing inability even of those trained in universities and theological colleges to read Latin and Greek texts with ease and familiarity, the translation of selected portions of earlier Christian literature into modern languages has become more necessaI')' than ever; while the wide range of distinguished books written in vernaculars such. As English makes selection there also needful.
The efforts that have been made to meet this need are too numerous to be noted here, but none of these collections serves the purpose of the reader who desires a library of representative treatises spanning the Christian centuries as a whole. Most of them embrace only the age of the Church Fathers, and some of them have iong been out of print. Alresh translation of a work already 9 10 GENERAL EDITORS' PREFACE translated may shed much new light upon its meaning. This is true even of Bible translations despite the work of many experts through the centuries. In some instances old translations have been adopted in this series, but wherever necessary or desirable, new ones have been made. Notes have been supplied where these were needed to explain the author's meaning. The introductions provided for the several treatises and extracts will, we believe, furnish welcome guidance.

Augustine's Review tif'De Vera Religione/' Retractations I, xiii. At that time also I wrote a book Concerning True Religion in which I argued at great length and in many ways th,;t true religion means the worship of the one true God, that IS, the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I pointed out, how was his mercy in granting to men by a temporal the Christian religion, which is true religion, and ho:-v IS to adjust his life to the worship of God. The book IS wntten chiefly against the two natures of the Mamchees. In a passage in book(chap. X) I say, 'Th.ere co,:ld have been no error in religIOn had not the soul worshIpped m place. 1 bd' h t 'B' I' of God eIther sou or a y or Its own p an asms.
Y sou, here I meant the whole incorporeal creation. I was not using the ianguage of Scripture which, when it speaks of soul, under that name seems to mean nothing but that which living beings including men so long as they are mortal. A little later I put my meaning better and more briefly, 'Let n?t serve the creature rather than the Creator, nor become vam In our thoughts.' By 'creature' I indicated by one word bo!h spiritual and corporeal creation.
And 'Let us not become vam in our thoughts' corresponds to 'the phantasms of the 3. Again, in the same chapter, I said, 'That.is the Christlan religion in our times, which to know and follow IS most sure and certain salvation.' I was speaking of the name, here, and of the thing so named.
For what is now called the religion existed of old and was never absent from the begmnmg of the human race until Christ came in the flesh. Then true religion which already existed began to be called Christian. Mter the resurrection and ascension of Christ into heaven, the apostles began to preach him and many believed, and the dis- £118 OF TRUE RELIGION lUg ciples were first called Christians in Antioch, as it is written. When I said, 'This is the Christian religion in our times,' I did not mean that it had not existed in former times, but that it received that name later. In another place I say, 'Listen to what follows as diligently and as piously as you can; for God aids such.' This is not to be understood as if he aids the diligent and pious only.

He aids those who are not such to be such, and to seek diligently and piously. Those who do so he aids so that they may find. Again, I say (chap. Xii), 'After the death of the body which we owe to the first sin, in its own time and order this body will be; restored to its pristine stability:' That is to be accepted as par- tially true. The pristine stability of the body, which by sinning we lost, had so great felicity that it would not fall into the de- cline of old age.
To this state the body will be restored at the resurrection of the dead. But it will have more; for it will not need to be sustained by material food.

It will be sufficiently animated by spirit alone when it is resurrected as a vivifying spirit. For this reason also it will be spiritual. Man's original nature, though it would not have died if man had not sinned, yet was made a living soul. In another place (chap xiv) I say, 'Sin is so much volun- tary evil that there would be no such thing as sin unless it were voluntary.'
That may appear a false definition; but if it is diligently discussed it will be found to be quite true. We are to consider as sin simply sin and not what is really the penalty of sin, as I showed above when I was dealing with passages from the third book of the De Libero Arbitrio. Sins which are not un- justifiably said to be non-voluntary because they are committed in ignorance or under compulsion cannot be said to be com- mitted entirely involuntarily. He who sins in ignorance uses his will to some extent, for he thinks he should do what in fact ought not to be done.
He who does not the things that he would because the flesh lusteth against the spirit, may be unwilling but he lusts all the same, and thereby does not the things he would. If he is overcome he voluntarily consents to lust, and thereby does what he wishes, being free from righteousness and the servant ofsin. What we call original sin in infants, who have not yet the use of free choice, may not absurdly also be called voluntary, because it originated in man's first evil will and has become in a manner hereditary. So my statement was not false. By the grace of God not only is the guilt of past sins done away in all who are baptized in Christ, by the spirit of regeneration; 220 AUGUSTINE: EARLIER WRITINGS. But also in grown-up people the will itself is healed and made ready by the Lord, by the spirit of faith and love. In another place (chap.
