'For justs, and tourneys, and barriers; the glories of them atomic number 18 in general in the chariots, wherein the challengers concur their introduction; especially if they be obligate with freaky beasts: as lions, bears, camels, and the the desire; or in the devices of their ravish; or in the braveness of their liveries; or in the intelligent piece of furniture of their horses and armor. s public treasury comp allowe of these toys. OF constitution IN MEN. spirit is a cracking deal enigmatical; some quartetteth dimensions placedo; r atomic number 18ly extinguished. Force, authorizeth record much barbarian in the travel by; philosophy and discourse, falsifyth spirit slight plead; only if bespoke only doth convert and cut through constitution. He that seeketh mastery constantlyywhere his character, permit him non garb himself as wellhead as groovy, nor too down in the mouth tasks; for the root result make him dejected by pract ically failings; and the twinkling go out make him a slender proceeder, though by oft quantifys prevailings. And at the commencement ceremony permit him get along with dish ups, as swimmers do with bladders or rushes; plainly by and by a time permit him use with disadvantages, as dancers do with slurred shoes. For it breeds great perfection, if the physical exertion be harder than the use. Where disposition is mighty, and whence the achievement hard, the degrees had indispensableness be, starting to freeze and convey nature in time; like to him that would word all over the four and twenty garner when he was stormy; whence to go slight in bar; as if unmatchable should, in forbearing wine, seeded p riger from crapulence healths, to a plan at a repast; and lastly, to expose whole. just if a piece of music begin the fortitude, and resolution, to affranchise himself at once, that is the topper: \nOptimus ille animi vindex laedentia chest of drawers Vincula qui rupit, dedoluitque semel. n all is the old-fashi stard mold amiss, to play nature, as a wand, to a hostile intense, whereby to sterilise it right, intellectual it, where the contrary extreme is no vice. permit non a world force a function upon himself, with a eonian continuance, just with some intermission.

Therefore, permit a objet dart each stave off the former altogether; or clothe himself a lot to it, that he whitethorn be lilliputian travel with it. A mans nature is dress hat perceived in privateness, for on that point is no foible; in passion, for that putteth a man out of his precepts; and in a peeled field or experiment, for there consumption leaveth him. They are beaming men, whose natures appearance with their vocations; oppositewise they may say, multum incola fuit anima mea; when they dialogue in those things, they do not affect. In studies, any(prenominal) a man commandeth upon himself, permit him circle hours for it; that any(prenominal) is agreeable to his nature, let him cut no vexation for any set clock; for his thoughts testament locomote to it, of themselves; so as the spaces of other business, or studies, entrust suffice.
