Tertullian

“ That which springs from a virtue of the mind is perfected in the flesh; and, finally, by the patience of the flesh, does battle under persecution. If flight press hard, the flesh wars with [12] the inconvenience of flight; if imprisonment overtake [13] us, the flesh (still was) in bonds, the flesh in the gyve, the flesh in solitude, [14] and in that want of light, and in that patience of the world’s misusage. ”
