5.28
Are you angry at a Rank Smell, or an ill scented Breath? Why if a Man's Lungs, or Stomach, are ulcerated, or his Arm-pits out of Order, how can he help it. But you'l say, the case is not paralel, between an ill Action, and an ill Breath; the one is Choice, and the other Necessity. Well, If you think Mankind so full of Reason, pray make use of your own : Argue the Case with the Faulty Person, and show him his Error : If your Advice prevails, he is what you would have him; and then there is no need of being angry : And lastly, Don't mismanage either by your Haughtiness, or Servility.
