 1 If these statements be compared with what we have
 2 pointed out concerning the strength of the emotions in this Part
 3 up to Prop. xviii., we shall readily see the difference between a
 4 man, who is led solely by emotion or opinion, and a man, who is
 5 led by reason.  The former, whether will or no, performs actions
 6 whereof he is utterly ignorant; the latter is his own master and
 7 only performs such actions, as he knows are of primary importance
 8 in life, and therefore chiefly desires; wherefore I call the
 9 former a slave, and the latter a free man, concerning whose
10 disposition and manner of life it will be well to make a few
11 observations.
