You must know that in the eye of perfect, that is, Christian,
modesty, (carnal) desire of one's self (on the part of others) is
not only not to be desired, but even execrated, by you: first,
because the study of making personal grace (which we know to be
naturally the inviter of lust) a mean of pleasing does not spring
from a sound conscience: why therefore excite toward yourself that
evil (passion)? why invite (that) to which you profess yourself a
stranger? secondly, because we ought not to open a way to
temptations, which, by their instancy, sometimes achieve (a
wickedness).
