Whatever happens to anyone serves the good of the whole. This alone should be enough to satisfy us — that it benefits everyone. But you will also notice, if you pay close attention, that whatever happens to any person... And now I am content to use the word 'beneficial' more broadly. I mean those things we usually call neutral — like health, wealth, and similar things.
Whatsoever in any kind doth happen to any one, is expedient to the whole. And thus much to content us might suffice, that it is expedient for the whole in general. But yet this also shalt thou generally perceive, if thou dost diligently take heed, that whatsoever doth happen to any one man or men.... And now I am content that the word expedient, should more generally be understood of those things which we otherwise call middle things, or things indifferent; as health, wealth, and the like.
