[Sidenote: _P. _ Have I not shown that the things which the
majority of mankind so eagerly pursue are not true and perfect
goods, for they differ from one another; and because where one of
them is absent the others cannot confer absolute happiness (or

made up of an assemblage of all the goods in such a way, that if
sufficiency is an attribute of this good, it must at the same time
