Logic or Ethics Ch Summum bonum

1 § Vulgarists

But Besides all the sets of summum bonumists who have
each of them their proper names, others the Comparalist
has found who have none no names but common ones.
If All in the wrong, if he is in the right, the denominated ones are all in
the wrong, and so are the undenominated ones.

Right: True: in the wrong they are if having what they prize they pretender
fancy themselves to have the a summum bonum: but not the at
more all in the wrong, hard as to labours to have then thought
so, if having what they prove, they value it according to at what it is worth
it the worth of it.

I. First come the vulgar, the mob of men vulgars — Anglicé the mob. These
place their the summum bonum in riches [or to speak more
precisely] in the matter of wealth; meaning it can not but
suppose a large qua what is regarded as a large quantity
of it.

All in the wrong box, notwithstanding there are
so many of them. Good reason why: small this matter
of wealth, what the vulgar are so fond of, small is the
value of it, let a man them to have ever so much of it.

In the first place it the thing is slipping and unsteady;
in the next place, it is not for its own sake but for the sake on its own account, but on account
of other things that these vulgar people want it are so fond of it,
in the third place who does it belong to? Not to the owner,
but to Fortune.+
