1 Whatsoever thus increases the capabilities of the body
2 increases also the mind's capability of perception (II. xiv.);
3 therefore, whatsoever thus disposes the body and thus renders it
4 capable, is necessarily good or useful (IV. xxvi. xxvii.); and
5 is so in proportion to the extent to which it can render the body
6 capable; contrariwise (II. xiv., IV. xxvi. xxvii.), it is
7 hurtful, if it renders the body in this respect less capable.
