Logic or Ethics Ch Summum bonum

3 §. Politician

The Conpren fragile he is wishes in England alive
Honour not deciduous

Is it factitious reputation? is it Honours, in the plural? Then as before in the case of riches, the
worse it is not to crave having them, the better it is to continue
having them: and it is in the having keeping them, and not in the
losing them that the Politician and the Ambitious man
would place his if he dreamt of having a summum bonum in his hand [would]
be disposed to place it: and so, in regard to power.

Keeping these alight and
even increasing them,
is the ordinary course,
losing them only the
accidental one

But, who be it honours — be it power — what
means pretended what means simulate? In so far
as it is by favour that a man has been raised placed either
in honour or in dignity, what room is there for calling a denial
in question the sincerity of it.

Wants a little
to be finished
