原版英文小说 confessions and enchiridion
My Confessions, in thirteen books, praise the righteous  and good God as they speak either of my evil or good, and they are  meant to excite men\'s minds and affections toward him.  At least  as far as I am concerned, this is what they did for me when they  were being written and they still do this when read.  What some  people think of them is their own affair [ipse viderint];  but I  do know that they have given pleasure to many of my brethren and  still do so.
