11.37
The same Philosopher has Taught us the Art of Managing our Assent and preventing our Reason from being impos'd on; That we should Enterprize with a reserve for Disappointment; that our Inclinations should be Generous and Benevolent, and proportion'd to the Merit and Dignity of Things: that we must keep our Desires from being Headstrong and Unruly in all Cases; And never have an Aversion for any Thing, which 'tis out of our power to hinder.
