Of Pleasure and Pain.

THere are onely two General Pleasures, and two General Pains, all the rest are according to Delectation, or Relucta∣tion; the two General Pleasures, are, Quiet in the Mind, and Ease in the Body; the two General Maladies, are, Trouble in Mind, and Pain in the Body: But Slavery can be no Bondage, if the Mind can be content withall; yet the Mind cannot be pleased, if the Body be in Pain; it may be Patient, but not Con∣tent: for Content is when the Mind desires not change of the Condition of the Life.
