Let the part of thy soul which leads and governs be undisturbed
by the movements in the flesh, whether of pleasure or of pain; and let
it not unite with them, but let it circumscribe itself and limit those
affects to their parts. But when these affects rise up to the mind by virtue
of that other sympathy that naturally exists in a body which is all one,
then thou must not strive to resist the sensation, for it is natural: but
let not the ruling part of itself add to the sensation the opinion that
it is either good or bad.
