Now that you have taken on these names — good, modest, true, wise, accepting, transcendent — be careful not to lose your right to them by acting contrary to what they mean. If you do slip, return to them as quickly as possible. Remember what these words mean. "Wise" means you consider every situation clearly, without distraction. "Accepting" means you readily embrace whatever common nature brings to you. "Transcendent" means your mind rises above all bodily pain and pleasure, honor and disgrace, death and similar things — treating them as completely neutral matters that a wise person should not be bothered by.
Now that thou hast taken these names upon thee of good, modest, true; of ἔμφρων, σύμφρων, ὑπέρφρων; take heed lest at any times by doing anything that is contrary, thou be but improperly so called, and lose thy right to these appellations. Or if thou do, return unto them again with all possible speed. And remember, that the word ἔμφρων notes unto thee an intent and intelligent consideration of every object that presents itself unto thee, without distraction. And the word σύμφρων, a ready and contented acceptation of whatsoever by the appointment of the common nature, happens unto thee. And the word ὑπέρφρων, a super-extension, or a transcendent, and outreaching disposition of thy mind, whereby it passeth by all bodily pains and pleasures, honour and credit, death and whatsoever is of the same nature, as matters of absolute indifferency, and in no wise to be stood upon by a wise man.
