Is wiser in his own conceit, because by his idleness he avoids those troubles and dangers to which other men by their activity expose themselves, forgetting in the mean thee what reproach and loss, and how much greater mischiefs, both here and hereafter, are brought upon him by his slothfulness. That can render a reason, to wit, a satisfactory reason, of all their actions, i.e. who are truly wise men.
