Most Men let their Wishes run away with them.
They have no mind to stop them in their Career, the Motion is so pleasing.
To desire what belongeth to another Man is Misprision of Robbery.
Men are commanded not to covet, because when they do they are very apt to take.
Difficulty.
A Difficulty raiseth the Spirits of a great Man, he hath a mind to wrestle with it, and give it a Fall.
A Man’s Mind must be very low, if the Difficulty doth not make a part of his Pleasure.
The Pride of Compassing may more than compare with the Pleasure of Enjoying.
Dissembling.
Nothing so ridiculous as a false Philosopher, and nothing so rare as a true one.
