THE beginning of all evil in our kind of living springeth out of the depravation and corruptness of our Judgement, because our will always followeth-that which reason Judgeth to be followed. Now that which every man taketh to be friendly and agreeing to his nature, the same doth he Judge necessarily to be good for him and to be desired. This is meat, drink, apparel, riches, favour, dignity, rule, knowledge, and such like, because ⟨image 88⟩they are thought good and agreeing either to the body or to the mind or to both, for they help either to the conservation or to the pleasure of man, accounted of every one amongest good things.
