The soul also takes in the whole world. It sees through the emptiness and fake surfaces of everything. It reaches out to endless time. It grasps how all things return to their old places after certain cycles. It understands this clearly: those who come after us will see nothing new that we haven't seen. Those who came before saw nothing more than we do. Anyone who reaches forty and has some sense can see all things — past and future — because they're all the same kind. It's natural for the human soul to love others, to be honest and humble, and to care for itself above all. This is also what the law teaches. So we see that sound reasoning and justice are the same thing. Justice is the main goal that thinking beings should aim for.
Again, she compasseth the whole world, and penetrateth into the vanity, and mere outside (wanting substance and solidity) of it, and stretcheth herself unto the infiniteness of eternity; and the revolution or restoration of all things after a certain period of time, to the same state and place as before, she fetcheth about, and doth comprehend in herself; and considers withal, and sees clearly this, that neither they that shall follow us, shall see any new thing, that we have not seen, nor they that went before, anything more than we: but that he that is once come to forty (if he have any wit at all) can in a manner (for that they are all of one kind) see all things, both past and future. As proper is it, and natural to the soul of man to love her neighbour, to be true and modest; and to regard nothing so much as herself: which is also the property of the law: whereby by the way it appears, that sound reason and justice comes all to one, and therefore that justice is the chief thing, that reasonable creatures ought to propose unto themselves as their end.
