III. A Third Experience of the same thing in Dis∣eases, over which our Soul hath no Empire.

We find in the Third place, That our Souls, which are not at all Mistresses of the Choice and of the Quality of their Bodies, are not like∣wise Mistresses neither of the Disposition which is agreeable to them, nor of the Indisposition which incommodes them.
