RV 13 (Chap. 4.) Perfection of any thing absolutely brings us, Improvement is always an Approach towards it.

§. 2. How happens it then, that when we confess Virtue to be such, yet we seek, and make an ostentatious Show of Improvement in other Things? What is the Business of Virtue?

A prosperous Life.

Who is in a State of Improvement then? He who hath read the many Treatises of Chrysippus ? Why, doth Virtue consist in having read Chrysippus through? If it doth, Improvement is confessedly nothing else than understanding a great deal of Chrysippus: otherwise we confess Virtue to produce one Thing; and declare Improvement, which is an Approach to it, to be quite another Thing.

§. 3. This Person, says one [of you], is already able to read Chrysippus, by himself.—"Certainly, Sir, you have made a vast Improvement!" What Improvement? Why do you ridicule him? Why do you withdraw him from a Sense of his Misfortunes? Why do not you show him the Business of Virtue, that he may know where to seek Improvement?—Seek it there, Wretch, where your Business lies. And where doth your Business lie?
