OF THE REMEDY OF AFFLICTION
FOR THE LOSS OF OUR FRIENDS
IT WOULD BE A STRANGE CONSIDERATION(SAITH CICERO) THAT WHILE
SO MANY EXCELLENT REMEDIES HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED FOR THE SEVERAL
DISEASES OF THE HUMAN BODY, THE MIND SHOULD BE LEFT WITHOUT
ANY ASSISTANCE TO ALLEVIATE AND REPEL THE DISORDERS WHICH BEFAL IT.
THE CONTRARY OF THIS HE ASSERTS TO BE TRUE, AND PRESCRIBES PHILOSOPHY
TO US, AS A CERTAIN AND INFALLIBLE METHOD TO ASSWAGE AND
REMOVE ALL THOSE PERTURBATIONS WHICH ARE LIABLE TO AFFECT THIS
NOBLER PART OF MAN.
OF THE SAME OPINION WERE ALL THOSE WISE AND ILLUSTRIOUS
ANTIENTS, WHOSE WRITINGS AND SAYINGS ON THIS SUBJECT HAVE BEEN
TRANSMITTED TO US. AND WHEN SENECA TELLS US, THAT VIRTUE IS SUFFICIENT
TO SUBDUE ALL OUR PASSIONS, HE MEANS NO OTHER(AS HE EXPLAINS
IT IN MANY PARTS OF HIS WORKS) THAN THAT EXALTED DIVINE PHILOSOPHY,
WHICH CONSISTED NOT IN VAIN POMP, OR USELESS CURIOSITY, NOR EVEN
IN THE SEARCH OF MORE PROFITABLE KNOWLEDGE, BUT IN ACQ . . .
