More From George Herbert

Good and evil are names that signify our appetites and aversions, which in different tempers, customs, and doctrines of men, are different: and diverse men differ not only in their judgment, on the senses of what is pleasant and unpleasant to the taste, smell, hearing, touch, and sight, but also of what is conformable, or disagreeable to reason, in the actions of the common life. nay, the same man, in diverse times, differs from himself, and one time praiseth, that is, calleth good, what another time he dispraiseth, and calleth evil.
