For he does not think there is any affection that is not bad if it does not flow from a sincere and chaste love of God. Every affection of man, he holds, belongs either to charity and the love of God or to concupiscence and depraved cupidity, and there is nothing in between.
For it is absolutely necessary that all our affection and love either tend toward God and finally end in God, or end and come to rest in some creature, whatever that creature is supposed to be. If it is of the first kind, it belongs to charity and so is good; if of the second, it belongs to cupidity and so is bad.
Latin
XXXIX. Etenim non putat ullum esse affectum non malum qui ex sincero & casto Dei amore non profluat. Omnem enim hominis affectum, vel ad charitatem & dilectionem Dei, vel ad concupiscentiam & cupiditatem pravam pertinere; nec quicquam esse inter duo ista medium. Cum prorsus necesse sit, ut omnis noster affectus & amor, vel ad Deum tendat, & tandem in Deo terminetur; vel terminetur & sistat se in creatura aliqua, qualiscunque tandem ea supponatur: si autem sit de priori genere, illum ad charitatem spectare, & proinde bonum esse: si vero de posteriori, ad cupiditatem, & proinde malum.
