The name of this vice (which signifies etymologically

unchastened-ness) we apply also to the faults of children, there

being a certain resemblance between the cases: to which the name

is primarily applied, and to which secondarily or derivatively,

is not relevant to the present subject, but it is evident that

the later in point of time must get the name from the earlier.

And the metaphor seems to be a very good one; for whatever grasps

after base things, and is liable to great increase, ought to be

chastened; and to this description desire and the child answer

most truly, in that children also live under the direction of

desire and the grasping after what is pleasant is most

prominently seen in these.
