The Mind is invincible when she exerts her self, and relys upon her own Courage; In this Case there's no forcing her Will, tho' she has nothing but Obstinacy for her Defence. What then must her strength be when she is fortified with Reason, and Engages upon Thought and Deliberation? A Soul unembarrass'd with Passion,18 is the most impregnable Security; Hither we may retire, and defie our Enemies: He that sees not this Advantage, must be ignorant, and he that forgets to use it, Unhappy.
