1 Whatsoever in nature we deem to be evil, or to be 2 capable of injuring our faculty for existing and enjoying the 3 rational life, we may endeavour to remove in whatever way seems 4 safest to us; on the other hand, whatsoever we deem to be good 5 or useful for preserving our being, and enabling us to enjoy the 6 rational life, we may appropriate to our use and employ as we 7 think best. Everyone without exception may, by sovereign right 8 of nature, do whatsoever he thinks will advance his own interest. 9 10
