- Both entities describe the same internal struggle within Augustine related to sin. The 'law of sin' is defined as the 'violence of custom' that holds the mind captive against its will, while 'two wills augustines' describes the conflict between the old and new wills that constitutes this very struggle and bondage. They are two perspectives on the same core concept, and both are extracted from the same source text chunk describing this internal conflict.
