WHEN AND FROM WHENCE THE PERFECTION OF A MAN COMMENCES.
Heraclitus and the Stoics say, that men begin their completeness when the second septenary of years begins, about which time the seminal serum is emitted.

Trees first begin their perfection when they give their seeds; till then they are immature, imperfect, and unfruitful.

After the same manner a man is completed in the second septenary of years, and is capable of learning what is good and evil, and of discipline therein..
