III. That the man of Imperfect Self-Control does things at the

instigation of his passions, knowing them to be wrong, while the

man of Self-Control, knowing his lusts to be wrong, refuses, by

the influence of reason, to follow their suggestions.

IV. That the man of Perfected Self-Mastery unites the qualities

of Self-Control and Endurance, and some say that every one who

unites these is a man of Perfect Self-Mastery, others do not.

V. Some confound the two characters of the man who has no

Self-Control, and the man of Imperfect Self-Control, while others

distinguish between them.

VI. It is sometimes said that the man of Practical Wisdom cannot

be a man of Imperfect Self-Control, sometimes that men who are

Practically Wise and Clever are of Imperfect Self-Control.

VII. Again, men are said to be of Imperfect Self-Control, not

simply but with the addition of the thing wherein, as in respect

of anger, of honour, and gain.

These then are pretty well the common statements.
