fate was to live in an evil world and with a wicked generation. He received life
with thankfulness, partook temperately of all its lawful pleasures, did his duty,
and took care while living with the world to keep himself unspotted from its
evil.... He lived a life of utmost purity .... That he was no harsh despiser of the
sex, we know well from his writings; and that his life was in agreement with
his books we also know. The loveliest descriptions of female grace and beauty
we have ever met with, are contained in his works, chiefly in his treatise on
Conjugial Love.” (Tafel, i.p.12-29, Document 4)
