Lastly, To conclude these Morals, I thought fit to make a review of mensseverall imployments in this life, that I might endeavour to make choiceof the best, and without prejudice to other mens, I thought I could notdo better then to continue in the same wherein I was, that is, to imployall my life in cultivating my Reason, and advancing my self, as far as Icould in the knowledge of Truth, following the Method I had prescribedmyself. I was sensible of such extreme contentment since I began to us...ethis Method, that I thought none could in this life be capable of anymore sweet and innocent: and daily discovering by means thereof, someTruths which seemed to me of importance, and commonly such as other menwere ignorant of, the satisfaction I thereby received did so possesse myminde, as if all things else concern'd me not.
