My article on Platenism provides a greater context and more to contemplate.

Augustine. “Book VII.” Essay. In The Confessions of Saint Augustine, translated by F J Sheed, 136–49. London, England: Sheed & Ward, 1944.
 
This translation of St. Augustine's Confessions is an old one from Frank Sheed (middle of the twentieth century). It is harder to find and not a great resource for those who would benefit from notes, as it does not have any, but it is a beautiful and reverent translation -- my favorite to read.
