- Both 'temporal good' and 'unlawful pleasures' refer to earthly, transient pleasures that hinder Augustine's spiritual progress. The source's description mentions 'pleasure of temporal good holds us down below,' which aligns with 'unlawful pleasures' being 'besprinkled with most bitter alloy' to encourage a search for 'pure joy' (spiritual good). They represent the same category of spiritually detrimental earthly attractions.

- The entity 'lower goods' is a direct synonym for 'temporal good' in this philosophical context. Both are described as 'earthly desires, possessions, or experiences' that 'draw one away from God' and are 'abject and low' (aligning with 'holds us down below'). The descriptions are nearly identical in meaning and scope, referring to the same real-world concept of transient, worldly things that impede spiritual commitment.
