Out of the heart proceed three sins of thought, four sins of the tongue, and three of the body, namely, covetous, disobedient, and atheistic thoughts; scurrilous, false, frivolous, and unkind words; and actions of theft, bodily injury, and licentiousness.

There are three qualities of the soul, giving it a tendency to goodness, to passion, and to darkness.

The first leads to knowledge, the second to desire, the third to sensuality.
