Excerpt from Sancti Aurelii Augustini Hipponensis Episcopi Operum, Vol. 3: Opera Exegetica; Enarrationes in Psalmos, Speculum, De Consensu Evangelistarum Lib. IV
Ille enim tibi modo advocatus est, qui tune judex futurus est. Ille erit, et tu, et causa tua; sermo causae tum, testi monium conscientiae tuae. Quisquis ergo futurumjudicem times praesentem conscientiam tuam modo corrige. Pa rum-me tibi est, quod praeterita non rcquiret'? Sine reliquo spatio temporis tunc judicabit sed dum quanto spatio temporis modo praecipit? Tune jam corrigi non licebit modo quis prohibet? Hoc cum vehementer commenda remus Dominico die quia revera quia prope hoc solum dicendum est, non parum temporis efiluxit, et coacti su.

Aurelius Augustinus - more commonly "St. Augustine of Hippo," or simply "Augustine" - was a philosopher and theologian, and one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. He framed the concepts of original sin and just war. Augustine was one of the most prolific Latin authors in terms of surviving works, and the list of his works consists of more than a hundred separate titles.
Augustine took the view that the Biblical text should not be interpreted literally if it contradicts what we know from science and our God-given reason. Many Protestants, especially Calvinists, consider him to be one of the theological fathers of Reformation teaching on salvation and divine grace.
