The use of the Practical is to act in or through us virtuously, that is to say, honestly or uprightly, with Prudence, with Temperance, with Courage, and with Justice.

The use of the Speculative is not to work or act through us, but to consider the works of God and of Nature.

This and the other form our Beatitude and Supreme Happiness, which is the sweetness of the before-mentioned seed, as now clearly appears.

To this often such seed does not attain, through being ill cultivated, or through its tender growing shoots being perverted.

In like manner it is quite possible, by much correction and cultivation of him into whom this seed does not fall primarily, to induce it by the process of steady endeavour after goodness, so that it may attain to the power of bearing this fruit.
