Theophrastus compares different types of wrongdoing. He says the wrongs we do from lust are worse than the wrongs we do from anger. When someone acts in anger, they seem to pull back from reason with a kind of pain. But when someone sins from lust, being overcome by pleasure, they show a weaker and less controlled nature. Theophrastus is right to say that the person who sins with pleasure deserves more blame than the person who sins in pain. The angry person may have been wronged first, and grief pushed them to anger. But the person driven by lust chose that action on their own.
Theophrastus, where he compares sin with sin (as after a vulgar sense such things I grant may be compared:) says well and like a philosopher, that those sins are greater which are committed through lust, than those which are committed through anger. For he that is angry seems with a kind of grief and close contraction of himself, to turn away from reason; but he that sins through lust, being overcome by pleasure, doth in his very sin bewray a more impotent, and unmanlike disposition. Well then and like a philosopher doth he say, that he of the two is the more to be condemned, that sins with pleasure, than he that sins with grief. For indeed this latter may seem first to have been wronged, and so in some manner through grief thereof to have been forced to be angry, whereas he who through lust doth commit anything, did of himself merely resolve upon that action.
