5. _Honour._ Which is the glory of benefiting, or being able to benefit others. _To benefit others_, is to contribute somewhat, not easily had, to another man’s safety or riches. The parts of _honour_ are sacrifices, monuments, rewards, dedication of places, precedence, sepulchres, statues, public pensions, adorations, presents. 6. _Health._ Which is the being free from diseases, with strength to use the body. 7. _Beauty._ Which is to different ages different. To youth, strength of body and sweetness of aspect. To full men, strength of body fit for the wars, and countenance sweet with a mixture of terror. To old men, strength enough for necessary labours, with a countenance not displeasing. 8. _Strength._ Which is the ability to move any thing at pleasure of the mover. To move, is to pull, to put off, to lift, to thrust down, to press together. 9. _Stature._ Which is then _just_, when a man in height, breadth, and thickness of body doth so exceed the most, as nevertheless it be no hindrance to the quickness of his motion. 10. _Good old age._ Which is that which comes late, and with the least trouble. 11. _Many and good friends._ Which is to have many that will do for his sake that which they think will be for his good. 12. _Prosperity._ Which is to have all, or the most, or the greatest of those goods which we attribute to fortune. 13. _Virtue._ Which is then to be defined, when we speak of _praise_. These are the grounds from whence we _exhort_. _Dehortation_ is from the contraries of these. ========== CHAPTER VI. OF THE COLOURS OR COMMON OPINIONS CONCERNING GOOD AND EVIL. In _deliberatives_, the principles or elements from whence we draw our proofs, are common opinions concerning good and evil. And these principles are either _absolute_ or _comparative_. And those that are _absolute_, are either _disputable_ or _indisputable_. The _indisputable principles_ are such as these: _Good_, is that which we love for itself. And that for which we love somewhat else. And that which all things desire. And that to every man which his reason dictates. And that which when we have, we are well or satisfied. And that which satisfies. And the cause or effect of any of these. And that which preserves any of these. And that which keeps off or destroys the contrary of any of these. Also to take the _good_ and reject the _evil_, is _good_. And to take the greater _good_, rather than the less; and the lesser _evil_ rather than the greater. Further, all virtues are _good_. And pleasure. And all things beautiful. And justice, valour, temperance, magnanimity, magnificence, and other like habits. And health, beauty, strength, &c. And riches. And friends. And honour and glory. And ability to say or do: also towardliness, will, and the like. And whatsoever art or science. And life. And whatsoever is just. The _disputable principles_ are such as follow:
