Can I ask members of the list for help with a puzzle? I am looking for the
source of a quotation attributed by Bartlett's Familiar Quotations to St
Augustine: 'Will is to grace as the horse is to the rider.' This is cited
as coming from his De Libero Arbitrio but I believe it is a
mis-ascription. I haven't been able to find it through searching CETEDOC
and am now frankly stumped. Bartlett's describes it as the most important
definition of the relation between grace and free will in the Middle Ages.
Can anyone point me to the true source?
Thanks in advance for your help.
