216 OF THE ADVANCEMENT OF LEARNING. [xxu. 16. 
Demosthenes and I do differ; for he drinketh water, and I 
drink wine; and like as we read of an ancient parable of — 
the two gates of sleep, 
Sunt geminz somni porte: quarum altera fertur 
Cornea, qua veris facilis datur exitus umbris: 
Altera candenti perfecta nitens elephanto, 
Sed falsa ad ccelum mittunt insomnia manes: 
so if we put on sobriety and attention, we shall find it a 
sure maxim in knowledge, that the more pleasant liquor 
(of wine) is the more vaporous, and the braver gate (of 
zvory) sendeth forth the falser dreams.

human philosophy, which contemplateth man segregate, 
and as he consisteth of body and spirit. Wherein we may 
further note, that there seemeth to be a relation or con- 
formity between the good of the mind and the good of 
the body. For as we divided the good of the body into 
health, beauty, strength, and pleasure; so the good of 
the mind, inquired in rational and moral knowledges, 
tendeth to this, to make the mind sound, and without 
perturbation; beautiful, and graced with decency; and 
strong and agile for all duties of life. These three, as in 
the body, so in the mind, seldom meet, and commonly 
sever. For it is easy to observe, that many have strength 
of wit and courage, but have neither health from per- 
turbations, nor any beauty or decency in their doings: 
some again have an elegancy and fineness of carriage, 
which have neither soundness of honesty, nor substance 
of sufficiency: and some again have honest and reformed 
minds, that can neither become themselves nor manage 
business: and sometimes two of them meet, and rarely 
all three. As for pleasure, we have likewise determined 
that the mind ought not to be reduced to stupid, but to
