And the spirit because these gifts come from ineffable love, and the divine love is appropriated to the Holy Spirit, they are thence called gifts of the Holy Spirit. The which, as Isaiah the Prophet Quo] distinguishes them, are seven, to wit, wisdom, understanding, counsel, strength, knowledge, piety, and fear of God. Oh fair grain, and fair and marvellous seed ! and oh admirable ...and benign sower, who waitest only until human nature prepare the land for thee to sow ! Oh blessed they who fittingly cultivate such seed ! And here, be it known, that the first and noble shoot which sprouts from this seed fji2oj to bear fruit, is mental appetite, which in Greek is called hormen. And if this be not well cultivated and kept straight by good habit, little avails the seed, and better would it be had it not been sown at all. And therefore St. Augustine lays it down (and also Aristotle in the second of the Ethics} that man should accustom himself to well-doing and to restrain- ing his passions, in order that this shoot that has been spoken of may C I 3D g row strong by good habit and may be inured in its straightness, so that it may bear fruit, and from its fruit may issue the sweetness of human felicity.
