4.26
Have you seen one sort of Fortune? Pray view t'other too; ne'er be disturb'd, but reduce your Person to its natural Bulk, and be not Concern'd for more than belongs to you. Is any Man guilty of a Fault? 'Tis to himself then: Has any Advantage happen'd to you? 'Tis the Bounty of Fate: 'Twas all of it preordain'd you by the Universal Cause. Upon the whole; Life is but short, therefore be Just, and Prudent, and make your most on't. And when you Divert your self, be always upon your Guard.
