[38] The meaning is, there is one End including all others; and

in this sense [Greek: phronesis] is concerned with means, not

Ends but there are also many subordinate Ends which are in fact

Means to the Great End of all. Good counsel has reference not

merely to the grand End, but to the subordinate Ends which

[Greek: phronesis] selects as being right means to the Grand End

of all.

[39] The relative [Greek: on] might be referred to [Greek:

sumpheron], but that [Greek: eubonlia] has been already divided

into two kinds, and this construction would restrict the name to

one of them, namely that [Greek: pros ti telos] as opposed to

that [Greek: pros to telos aplos].

[40] We have no term which at all approximates to the meaning of

this word, much less will our language admit of the play upon it

which connects it with [Greek: suggnomae].
