This may be shown also from the intimate connection subsisting

between each Pleasure and the Working which it perfects: I mean,

that the Pleasure proper to any Working increases that Working;

for they who work with Pleasure sift all things more closely and

carry them out to a greater degree of nicety; for instance, those

men become geometricians who take Pleasure in geometry, and they

apprehend particular points more completely: in like manner men

who are fond of music, or architecture, or anything else, improve

each on his own pursuit, because they feel Pleasure in them. Thus

the Pleasures aid in increasing the Workings, and things which do

so aid are proper and peculiar: but the things which are proper

and peculiar to others specifically different are themselves also

specifically different.
