Sect. 3. Of Vertue.
m 1.1 ALL good consisteth in Pleasure, Vertue it selfe is only lau∣dable, as being an efficient cause of pleasure.
n 1.2 Nothing is just, honest, or dishonest by Nature, but by Law and Custome; yet a good man will do nothing that is evill, be∣cause of the censure or esteem which would fall upon his acti∣ons, ando 1.3 that such a one is wise.
Prudence is a good, yet not expetible in it selfe, but for the sake of those things which proceed from it.
A friend is to be embraced for the use we may have of him, as the body cherisheth every part thereof as long as it remaineth found.
Of Vertues, some are in the unwis••e. Corporeall exercise conduceth to the acquisition of Vertue. A wise man is not subject to En••y, Love, or Superstition, for all these proceed from the vanity of Opinion; but, he is subject to Griefe or Fear, as being Naturall accidents.
