if it shall be both thy care and thy desire, that whatsoever
thou doest, thou thyself mayst like and approve thyself for it.
And both these, see, that thou remember well, according as
the diversity of the matter of the action that thou art about
shall require. Look within; within is the fountain of all good.
Such a fountain, where springing waters can never fail,
so thou dig still deeper and deeper. XXXII. Thou must
use thyself also to keep thy body fixed and steady;
free from all loose fluctuant either motion, or posture.
And as upon thy face and looks, thy mind hath easily power
over them to keep them to that which is grave and decent;
so let it challenge the same power over the whole body also.
But so observe all things in this kind, as that it be without
any manner of affectation.

XXXIII. The art of true living in this world is more like a wrestler's,
than a dancer's practice. For in this they both agree, to teach a man
whatsoever falls upon him, that he may be ready for it, and that nothing
may cast him down.

XXXIV. Thou must continually ponder and consider with thyself,
what manner of men they be, and for their minds and understandings
what is their present estate, whose good word and testimony thou
dost desire. For then neither wilt thou see cause to complain
of them that offend against their wills; or find any want
of their applause, if once thou dost but penetrate into the true
force and ground both of their opinions, and of their desires.
'No soul (saith he) is willingly bereft of the truth,'
and by consequent, neither of justice, or temperance, or kindness,
and mildness; nor of anything that is of the same kind.
