That is the scientific proposition which has waited now two hundred and fifty years, for a scientific audience.
As Seneca excellently saith, "De partibus vitae quisquae deliberat, de summa nemo." And is that, after all, is that the trouble still? Is it, that that characteristic of Elizabeth's time that same thing which Seneca complained of in Nero's, is it that that is not yet obsolete?
And although the neglect of our times, wherein few men do hold any consultations touching the reformation of their LIFE, as Seneca excellently saith, "De partibus vitae, quisque deliberat, de summa nemo," may make this part seem superfluous, yet I must conclude with that aphorism of Hippocrates, "Qui gravi morbo correpti dolores non sentiunt, iis mens aegrotat"; they need medicines not only to assuage the disease, but to awake the sense.
