The Late E. of E. his aduice to the E. of R. in his trauels My Lord I Hold it for a principle in the course of Intelligence of State not to discourage men of meane capacity from writing vnto mee though I had at that same time very able aduertisements for either they sent mee matter which the other omitted or made it clearer by describing the circumstances or if added nothing yet they confirmed that which comming single I might haue doubted This rule I haue therefore prescribed to others and now giue it to my selfe Your Lordship hath many friēds who haue more leisure to thinke and more sufficiencie to counsel than my selfe yet doth my loue direct these few lines to the study of you If you find out nothing but that which you haue from others yet perhaps by the opinion of others I confirme the opinion of wiser than my selfe Your Lordships purpose is to trauell and your study must bee what vse to make thereof The question is ordinary and there is to it an ordinary answer that is your Lordship shall see the beauty of many Cities know the manners of the people of many Countries and learne the language of many Nations Some of these may serue for ornaments al of them for delight But your Lordship must looke further than these things for the greatest ornament is the beauty of the minde and when you haue as great delight as the world can afford you you will confesse that the greatest delight is Sentire teindies fieri meliorum Therfore your Lordships end and scope should be that which is morall Philosophy we call Cultum Animi the gifts and excellencies of the mind And they are the same as those are of the body Beauty Health strength The beauty of the minde is shewed in gratefull and acceptable forms and sweetnesse of behauiour and they that haue that gift cause those to whom they deny any thing to goe better contented away than men of contrary disposition doe those to whom they grant Health of mind consisteth in an vnmoueable constancy and freedome from passions which are indeed the sicknesse of the mind strength of mind is that actiue power which maketh vs perform good and great things as well as health and euen temper of mind keepeth vs from euil and base things First these three are to bee sought for although the greatest part of men haue none of them Some haue one and lacke the other two some few attaine to haue two of them and lacke the third and almost none of them haue all The first way to attaine to experience of formes or behauiour is to make the minde it selfe expert for behauiour is but a garment and it is easie to make a comely garment for a body that is well proportioned whereas a deformed body can neuer bee helped by Taylors art but the Counterfetting will appeare And in the forme of the minde it is a true rule that a man may mend his faults with as little labor as couer them The second way is by imitation and to that end good choyce is to be made with whom we conuerse Therefore your Lordship should affect their companie whom you finde to be worthiest and not partially thinke them most worthy whom you affect To attaine to the health of the minde we must vse the same meanes which wee doe for the health of our bodies that is to make obseruāce what diseases we are aptest to fal into and to prouide against them for Physicke hath not more remedy against the difease of the body than Reason hath preseruatiues against the Passions of the mind To set downe meanes how a man may attaine to the actiue power mentioned in this place I meane strength of mind is much harder then to giue rules in the other two For behauiour and good forme may be gotten by education and health and euen temper of the minde by good obseruation but if there bee not in nature some partner in this actiue strēgth it can neuer be attained by any industry for the vertues that are proper vnto it are Liberality Magnanimity Fortitude Magnificence And some are by nature so couetous
