Neither the perspiration of Plants, nor the Breath of Animals, nor the Impressions of Sensation, nor the Poppet-motions ⁶ of Passions, are priviledges of any great value. To which we may add the Instinct of crowding into Herds, together With the Functions of Nutrition ; This latter being not unlike a separating kind of Evacuation. What then is it that you count worth your Esteem? Huzza's and Acclamations? Not at all. Why then you must not value Harangues and Panegyrick, for this is but a Mannerly sort of bawling about a Man. Well : I find Fame and Glory won't tempt you, what then is there behind worth the having? To govern your Motions, and make use of your Being according to the Intentions of Nature; This is the design of Arts and Improvement, in other cases; every Artificer, and Profession , endeavouring to make the Thing fit, to answer the end for which it was intended. This for instance, is the Design of Vine-dressers, those that manage Horses , and make Dogs ; Their business is to make the most of things, and drive them up to the top of their Kind. And what other view has Learning and Education, but to improve the Faculties, and set them the right way at work ? 'Tis agreed then the main point lies here: compass but this, and let the World Rub: what ? Must your Inclinations always run Riot, and will you never keep them true to one thing ? Must you be still hankering after this Fancy and t'other? Why then let me tell you, you'l always be a Slave, always in Wants, and Disquiet. This Temper will let loose abundance of uneasy Passions upon you: 'Twill make you grow envious, full of Jealousie, and Suspition, and apt to overreach Those who are possessed of something you have a mind to. And when strong desires are unsatisfied, you'l find your self mightily disturb'd. And this will make you murmur, and grow mutinous against the Gods. But if you come once to pay a due Regard to your Reason; you'l be pleas'd with your self, serviceable to Society, and Complyant with the Gods; That is you'l be entirely satisfied with their Administration.
