Francis Bacon has a rarest confluence of excellent qualities ever bestowed upon a human brain. His initial and never-ending love throughout his entire life was the passionate and glorious aspiration for knowledge. And yet, it wasn't just a miserable existence; it was a life of poverty. Bacon sold himself to James I's despicable and dishonest government. He was prepared to work for Bacon, who was his most devoted and wealthy employer, to pursue Essex. Essex was guilty to the State—deeply guilty. With his eyes open, he willingly submitted to a system that was beneath him. It appears that he lived by the guiding principle of his natural philosophy, parendo vincitur. He experienced a sense of being engulfed by powerful forces in both the moral and physical realms, powerless against direct confrontation. His first lesson on nature is that it must be conquered by paying attention to its inclinations and requirements. He was sent to Cambridge at the age of twelve and placed under Whitgift at Trinity. When Bacon was just 16 years old, he was accepted into Gray's Inn's Society of "Ancients." He travelled to France as a member of Sir Amyas Paulet's household, the Queen's ambassador.
