"In a few instances the Second Intention, or Philosophical

employment of a Term, is more extensive than the First Intention,

or popular use." Whately, Logic, iii. 10.

[2] "I have sometimes considered in what troublesome case is that

Chamberlain in an Inn who being but one is to give attendance to

many guests. For suppose them all in one chamber, yet, if one

shall command him to come to the window, and the other to the

table, and another to the bed, and another to the chimney, and

another to come upstairs, and another to go downstairs, and all

in the same instant, how would he be distracted to please them

all? And yet such is the sad condition of nay soul by nature, not

only a servant but a slave unto sin. Pride calls me to the

window, gluttony to the table, wantonness to the bed, laziness to

the chimney, ambition commands me to go upstairs, and

covetousness to come down. Vices, I see, are as well contrary to

themselves as to Virtue." (Fuller's Good Thoughts in Bad Times.

Mix't Contemplations, viii.)
