Now since every Percipient Faculty works upon the Object

answering to it, and perfectly the Faculty in a good state upon

the most excellent of the Objects within its range (for Perfect

Working is thought to be much what I have described; and we will

not raise any question about saying "the Faculty" works, instead

of, "that subject wherein the Faculty resides"), in each case the

best Working is that of the Faculty in its best state upon the

best of the Objects answering to it. And this will be, further,

most perfect and most pleasant: for Pleasure is attendant upon

every Percipient Faculty, and in like manner on every

intellectual operation and speculation; and that is most pleasant

which is most perfect, and that most perfect which is the Working

of the best Faculty upon the most excellent of the Objects within

its range.
