Those are
the five enemies we have to combat, of which the first is prudence of
the flesh, the
second is a wish to appear to be someone in the eyes
of others, the
third is the desire to have everyone always submit to
our judgment
and will; the fourth is to seek our own satisfaction in
everything,
and the fifth is insensitivity for the glory of God and
the salvation of
our neighbor. Let’s work courageously to destroy
these
enemies; let’s arm ourselves with simplicity and candor,
let's give
ourselves to God to acquire gentleness, humility,
mortification, and
zeal for souls. (22 August 1659; SV XII, 261)
