Matthew 10:38

Verse 38. He that, and so forth There are two kinds of crosses which our Saviour here commands us to take up: one corporal, and the other spiritual. By the former, he commands us to restrain the unruly appetites of the touch, taste, sight, and so forth By the other, which is far more worthy our notice, he teaches us to govern the affections of the mind, and restrain all its irregular motions, by humility, tranquillity, modesty, peace, and so forth Precious indeed in the sight of God, and glorious is that cross, which governs and brings under proper rule the lawless passions of the mind. Saint Augustine.
