9072. 'And he does not keep it in' means failure to restrain it. This is clear from the meaning of 'keeping in', when it refers to evil belonging to the will that has passed into the light of the understanding, as curbing or restraining. For a person has been given an understanding to enable him to see evil and so restrain it. .
