408. Since then charity is in origin wishing well, and wishing well resides in the internal man, it is plain that when anyone who possesses charity resists an attacker, punishes a guilty party, and chastises wicked people, he does so by means of the external man. After doing so therefore he returns to charity, which is in the internal man, and then so far as he can or it is beneficial, he wishes him well and as a result he does good to him. Those who possess genuine charity are zealous for good. That zeal can appear in the external man as anger and flaming fire; but it is quenched and allayed as soon as the opponent returns to his senses. The case is different with those who lack charity; their zeal is anger and hatred, which cause their internal man to seethe and catch fire.
