Look at all worldly things and break them down into three parts: what they're made of, what they look like, and what they're for.
All worldly things thou must behold and consider, dividing them into matter, form, and reference, or their proper end.
When it comes to using your principles, practice them like a pancratist — someone who fights with both hands and feet at the same time. Don't be like a gladiator. If a gladiator loses his sword, he's finished. But the pancratist always has his hands free. He can easily turn and use them however he needs to.
As for the use of thy dogmata, thou must carry thyself in the practice of them, rather like unto a pancratiastes, or one that at the same time both fights and wrestles with hands and feet, than a gladiator. For this, if he lose his sword that he fights with, he is gone: whereas the other hath still his hand free, which he may easily turn and manage at his will.
