出自造物主之手的东西,都是好的,而一到了人的手里,就全变坏了。他要强使一种土地滋生另一种土地上的东西,强使一种树木结出另一种树木的果实;他将气候、风雨、季节搞得混乱不清;他残害他的狗、他的马和他的奴仆;他扰乱一切,毁伤一切东西的本来面目;他喜爱丑陋和奇形怪状的东西;他不愿意事物天然的那个样子,甚至对人也是如此,必须把人像练马场的马那样加以训练,必须把人像花园中的树木那样,照他喜爱的样子弄得歪歪扭扭。
Everything that comes out of the hand of the Creator is good, and when it comes to man’s hand, it is all broken. He wants to force one kind of land to breed something on another land, to force one kind of tree to bear the fruit of another; he cloudes the weather, the wind and the rain, the season; he hurts his dog, his His horse and his servant; he disrupts everything and destroys the true face of everything; he loves ugly and grotesque things; he does not want the natural appearance of things, or even human beings, to train like horse-race horses The crookedness must be made to look like the trees in the garden like he likes.
