Embellish the soul with simplicity, with prudence, and everything which is neither virtuous nor vicious. Love all men. Walk according to God; for, as a poet hath said, his laws govern all.

...in the ways of Nature there is no evil to be found.

Put it out of the power of truth to give you an ill character. If anybody reports you not to be an honest man let your practice give him the lie.
