- To be in favor or disgrace is to live in fear. To take the body seriously is to admit one can suffer.

- What does that mean, to be in favor or disgrace is to life in fear? Favor debases: we fear to lose it, fear to win it. So to be in favor or disgrace is to live in fear.

- What does that mean, to take the body seriously is to admit one can suffer? I suffer because I'm a body; if I weren't a body, how could I suffer?

- So people who set their bodily good before the public good could be entrusted with the commonwealth, and people who treated the body politic as gently as their own body would be worthy to govern the commonwealth.
