The soul's sinfulness is easily explained by its traducian origin ("De anima", xxxix). It is in bondage to Satan (whose works it renounces in baptism), but has seeds of good ("De anima", xli), and when awakened, it passes to health and at once calls upon God ("Apol.", xvii) and is naturally Christian. It exists in all men alike; it is a culprit and yet an unconscious witness – by its impulse to worship, its fear of demons, and its musings on death – to the power, benignity, and judgment of God as revealed in the Christian's Scriptures ("De testimonio," v–vi).
