ADVANCEMENT OF LEARNING 233 



There might, however, be added, by way of appendix, this 

 observation, that there is a certain relation and congruity found 

 between the good of the mind and the good of the body. For 

 as the good of the body consists in i. Health ; 2. Comeliness ; 

 3. Strength ; and 4. Pleasure so the good of the mind, consid- 

 ered in a moral light, tends to render it i. sound and calm; 

 2. graceful ; 3. strong and agile for all the offices of life ; and, 4. 

 possessed of a constant quick sense of pleasure and noble satis- 

 faction. But as the four former excellencies are seldom found 

 together in the body, so are the four latter seldom found to- 

 gether in the mind. For it is evident that many are full of 

 wit and courage, without being either calm or elegant in their 

 deportment, or beautiful in their person ; others, again, possess 

 an elegant and fine deportment, and yet eschew honesty and 

 justice ; others, again, have pure minds, but without any qualifi- 

 cations for the business of life ; others who perchance unite all 

 these three qualities, possess a sullen humor of stoical sadness 

 and stupidity they practise virtue, but refuse to enjoy its 

 pleasures ; and if, perchance, of these qualities two or three are 

 sometimes found together, it seldom, if ever, happens that all 

 four can be met with in the same person. And thus we have 

 finished that principal branch of human philosophy, which con- 

 siders man out of society, and as consisting of a body and a 

 soul.
