Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 25. As the mind develops fresh truths and principles derived from them in series, and after the soul has become fully initiated into the goods and truths of the Church, when it turns away from the Divine, and worships what proceeds from self-derived intelligence, and calls the evil desires of the proprium good, and shall thus sin against the perception given by the Divine Love and Wisdom so as to avert them from the soul.
