He also remembers that anyone who can reason is like him. Caring for all people fits human nature. But honor and praise should not be accepted from everyone — only from those who live according to nature. As for those who don't live this way, he knows what they're like. He knows how they behave at home and in public, day and night. He knows what company they keep and how they waste their time together. So he doesn't care about praise from people who can't even approve of themselves.
He remembers besides that whatsoever partakes of reason, is akin unto him, and that to care for all men generally, is agreeing to the nature of a man: but as for honour and praise, that they ought not generally to be admitted and accepted of from all, but from such only, who live according to nature. As for them that do not, what manner of men they be at home, or abroad; day or night, how conditioned themselves with what manner of conditions, or with men of what conditions they moil and pass away the time together, he knoweth, and remembers right well, he therefore regards not such praise and approbation, as proceeding from them, who cannot like and approve themselves.
