Treatise Written to a Devout Man (Paperback)

By the corporal working that I speak of thou must understand that I mean all manner of good works or deeds that thy soul doth by the senses or the members of thy body either upon or towards thyself as in fasting watching or in restraining thy fleshly or sensual desires by penance-doing or other acts of mortification. Or upon or towards thy Christian brother in performance of the works of mercy spiritual or corporal.
