Logic or Ethics Ch. Summum bonum

3 §. Stoics

Nothing can be more positive, nothing more decided,
whereupon, immediately upon the back of this comes — nonsense,
comes a torrent of diffuse nonsense, by which every thing
that was decided is washed/wasted away.

And Therefore continues the Instructor and therefore in
acting according to the best and most perfect virtue consists
the essence of human felicity. Yet to the entirety
and perfection of felicity are required, in insdirate
quantity at least, good things of the body and of fortune;
and moreover is added that more secure pleasure of
the mind, which of its own accord is born produced (though
it should have in a sort of sly way) subrasistur from the
subrasutur
conscience of things well done.

This felicity, he goes on to assure us is a steady
kind of good, and not easily one to be lost. Have you Are you in any
doubt! look once more, and along with at the back of the assurance you
may see the ground and reason of it. For says he Virtue in which
its foundation is laid — in virtue in which this summum
bonum which is itself virtue is laid — neither can be
snatched out of unwilling hands of the hands that are unwilling to part with it, nor when the good things
of fortune and the body are gone does it go immediately
along with them, does it immediately take itself off. In
a word, by the loss of external good things the essence of felicity
is not taken away: all that happens to it is to have its
be diminished and to have its integrity mutilated.

Hac felicitas to interpretation.
