or pleasure, neither suffer it to be mixed with these, but let
it both circumscribe itself, and confine those affections
to their own proper parts and members. But if at any time
they do reflect and rebound upon the mind and understanding
(as in an united and compacted body it must needs;) then must
thou not go about to resist sense and feeling, it being natural.
However let not thy understanding to this natural sense
and feeling, which whether unto our flesh pleasant or painful,
is unto us nothing properly, add an opinion of either good
or bad and all is well.

XXI. To live with the Gods. He liveth with the Gods,
who at all times affords unto them the spectacle of a soul,
both contented and well pleased with whatsoever is afforded,
or allotted unto her; and performing whatsoever is pleasing
to that Spirit, whom (being part of himself) Jove hath appointed
to every man as his overseer and governor.

XXII. Be not angry neither with him whose breath, neither with him
whose arm holes, are offensive. What can he do? such is his
breath naturally, and such are his arm holes; and from such,
such an effect, and such a smell must of necessity proceed.
'O, but the man (sayest thou) hath understanding in him,
and might of himself know, that he by standing near, cannot choose
but offend.' And thou also (God bless thee!) hast understanding.
Let thy reasonable faculty, work upon his reasonable faculty;
show him his fault, admonish him. If he hearken unto thee,
thou hast cured him, and there will be no more occasion of anger.

XXIII. 'Where there shall neither roarer be, nor harlot.'
