if_o we_o further_o meditate_v upon_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o apt_a emblem_n of_o love_n in_o general_n but_o that_o it_o also_o

thereby_o the_o more_o confirm_v in_o that_o celebrate_a notion_n of_o the_o platonist_n that_o as_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o image_n of_o god_n so_o the_o body_n be_v the_o image_n of_o the_o soul_n

first_o great_a branch_n of_o love_n viz._n love_n of_o concupiscence_n or_o desire_n with_o the_o several_a kind_n of_o it_o 1_o we_o have_v consider_v the_o nature_n of_o love_n in_o general_n and_o have_v show_v it_o to_o consist_v in_o a_o motion_n of_o the_o soul_n towards_o good_a whence_o we_o take_v occasion_n to_o represent_v the_o analogy_n between_o love_n and_o physical_a motion_n which_o we_o find_v to_o be_v exact_a and_o apposite_a even_o to_o surprise_n and_o admiration_n we_o have_v also_o discover_v the_o double_a motion_n of_o this_o mystical_a pulse_n and_o according_o have_v branch_v out_o love_n into_o two_o general_a part_n love_n of_o concupiscence_n and_o love_n of_o benevolence_n i_o come_v now_o to_o treat_v of_o each_o of_o these_o several_o 2_o and_o first_o of_o love_n of_o concupiscence_n or_o desire_n the_o general_a idea_n of_o which_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v a_o simple_a tendency_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o good_a not_o at_o all_o consider_v whether_o it_o will_v it_o to_o any_o person_n or_o be_v or_o no._n not_o that_o there_o be_v or_o can_v be_v any_o desire_n without_o wish_v well_o to_o for_o as_o i_o observe_v before_o these_o be_v always_o inseparable_a concomitant_n but_o their_o idea_n be_v very_o distinct_a i_o think_v i_o may_v very_o well_o abstract_n from_o the_o one_o when_o my_o business_n lie_v only_o to_o consider_v the_o other_o 3_o concern_v this_o love_n of_o desire_n i_o further_o consider_v that_o the_o primary_n and_o adequate_a object_n of_o it_o be_v the_o same_o that_o be_v of_o all_o love_n namely_o good_a in_o general_a or_o god._n for_o we_o desire_v good_a as_o good_a or_o good_a in_o common_a before_o we_o desire_v this_o or_o that_o good_a in_o particular_a and_o when_o we_o do_v desire_v any_o particular_a good_a it_o be_v still_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o universal_a good_a whereof_o it_o partake_v and_o according_a to_o the_o degree_n of_o this_o participation_n either_o real_a or_o apparent_a so_o we_o measure_v out_o and_o dispense_v our_o love._n so_o that_o good_a in_o general_n be_v the_o primary_n and_o adequate_a object_n of_o desire_n 4_o

but_o now_o this_o general_a or_o universal_a good_a be_v various_o participate_v by_o particular_a being_n hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o our_o desire_n have_v many_o subordinate_a and_o secondary_a object_n which_o it_o tend_v to_o with_o more_o or_o less_o inclination_n according_a as_o the_o mark_n and_o footstep_n of_o the_o universal_a good_a appear_v in_o they_o more_o or_o less_o discernible_a for_o the_o universal_a good_a be_v so_o congenial_a and_o connatural_a to_o the_o soul_n as_o always_o act_v upon_o it_o and_o attract_v it_o to_o itself_o that_o we_o love_v every_o thing_n that_o carry_v the_o least_o image_n or_o semblance_n of_o it_o 5_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n only_o between_o the_o love_n of_o the_o universal_a and_o the_o love_n of_o particular_a good_n our_o love_n to_o the_o universal_a good_a be_v natural_a necessary_a and_o unavoidable_a we_o have_v no_o more_o command_n over_o this_o love_n than_o we_o have_v over_o the_o circulation_n of_o our_o blood_n or_o the_o motion_n of_o our_o pulse_n for_o god_n be_v the_o centre_n of_o spirit_n as_o the_o earth_n be_v of_o body_n and_o in_o our_o love_n of_o he_o we_o be_v as_o much_o determine_v as_o fire_n be_v to_o burn_v or_o a_o stone_n to_o descend_v and_o the_o bless_a in_o heaven_n love_v he_o with_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o necessity_n and_o determination_n but_o now_o we_o be_v not_o thus_o determine_v to_o the_o love_n of_o particular_a good_n i_o say_v not_o thus_o determine_v for_o it_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o determination_n even_o here_o also_o for_o good_a be_v desirable_a as_o good_a and_o consequent_o in_o every_o degree_n of_o it_o so_o far_o as_o we_o consider_v any_o thing_n as_o good_a we_o must_v needs_o love_v it_o with_o a_o natural_a inclination_n that_o which_o the_o school_n term_v a_o velleity_n or_o voluntas_fw-la naturae_fw-la or_o a_o love_a a_o thing_n secundum_fw-la quid_fw-la according_a to_o a_o certain_a respect_n but_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o this_o lesser_a particular_a good_a may_v in_o some_o circumstance_n come_v into_o competition_n with_o a_o great_a particular_a good_a or_o with_o the_o great_a of_o all_o the_o universal_a good_a and_o so_o upon_o the_o whole_a become_v evil_a it_o be_v not_o necessary_a nor_o be_v we_o determine_v to_o love_v it_o absolute_o thorough_o and_o efficacious_o but_o may_v will_z and_o decline_v it_o absolute_o though_o still_o we_o retain_v a_o natural_a love_n or_o velleity_n towards_o it_o as_o before_o 6_o for_o the_o case_n be_v the_o same_o here_o as_o it_o be_v in_o evil_a we_o necessary_o hate_v evil_a as_o evil_a and_o the_o great_a evil_n we_o hate_v absolute_o as_o well_o as_o necessary_o but_o for_o particular_a and_o lesser_a evil_n though_o we_o necessary_o hate_v they_o too_o by_o a_o natural_a aversion_n as_o far_o as_o we_o consider_v they_o as_o evil_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o we_o shall_v always_o hate_v they_o absolute_o but_o may_v in_o some_o circumstance_n absolute_o will_v they_o as_o a_o mean_n either_o to_o avoid_v a_o great_a evil_n or_o to_o obtain_v a_o great_a good_a and_o in_o the_o same_o proportion_n as_o any_o evil_n less_o than_o the_o great_a though_o it_o be_v necessary_o nill_v and_o decline_v in_o some_o respect_n may_v yet_o be_v absolute_o will_v and_o embrace_v so_o any_o particular_a good_a though_o it_o be_v in_o some_o respect_n necessary_o love_v may_v yet_o absolute_o be_v nill_v and_o refuse_v 7_o indeed_o the_o excellent_a mounseur_fw-fr malebranche_fw-mi in_o his_o treatise_n of_o nature_n and_o grace_n assert_n this_o non_fw-la determination_n of_o our_o love_n to_o particular_a good_n in_o more_o large_a and_o unlimited_a term_n when_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o natural_a motion_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o good_a in_o general_n be_v not_o invincible_a in_o respect_n of_o any_o particular_a good_a and_o in_o this_o non_fw-la invincibility_n he_o place_v our_o liberty_n or_o free_n will._n but_o in_o my_o judgement_n this_o proposition_n of_o his_o must_n either_o be_v correct_v or_o better_o explain_v for_o without_o this_o our_o distinction_n it_o will_v not_o hold_v true_a our_o love_n to_o particular_a good_a be_v invincible_a secundum_fw-la quid_fw-la or_o as_o to_o a_o certain_a respect_n but_o absolute_o and_o simple_o speak_v it_o be_v not_o invincible_a and_o if_o in_o this_o absolute_a non_fw-la invincibility_n he_o will_v have_v our_o liberty_n or_o free_a will_n to_o consist_v i_o ready_o agree_v with_o he_o and_o do_v think_v the_o notion_n to_o be_v very_o sound_a and_o good_a 8_o and_o thus_o the_o difference_n between_o our_o love_n of_o the_o universal_a and_o our_o love_n of_o particular_a good_n be_v clear_a and_o apparent_a our_o love_n to_o the_o universal_a good_a be_v primary_n and_o immediate_n but_o our_o love_n to_o particular_a good_a secondary_a and_o mediate_v our_o love_n to_o the_o universal_a good_a be_v invincible_a absolute_o and_o simple_o we_o will_v it_o necessary_o and_o we_o will_v thorough_o but_o our_o love_n to_o particular_a good_a be_v invincible_a only_o in_o some_o certain_a respect_n we_o do_v not_o always_o love_v it_o thorough_o and_o effectual_o though_o we_o must_v always_o love_v it_o in_o short_a our_o love_n to_o the_o universal_a good_a be_v like_o the_o motion_n of_o our_o blood_n within_o our_o vein_n which_o we_o have_v no_o manner_n of_o empire_n or_o command_v over_o but_o our_o love_n to_o particular_a good_a be_v like_o the_o motion_n of_o respiration_n partly_o necessary_a and_o partly_o free._n we_o can_v live_v without_o breathe_v at_o all_o and_o yet_o we_o can_v suspend_v any_o one_o turn_n of_o respiration_n in_o particular_a but_o yet_o not_o without_o a_o natural_a inclination_n to_o the_o contrary_a and_o so_o in_o like_a manner_n we_o can_v live_v without_o love_v some_o particular_a good_a or_o other_o but_o when_o we_o point_v to_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a good_a there_o be_v not_o one_o but_o what_o we_o may_v will_z and_o refuse_v absolute_o and_o simple_o though_o yet_o in_o some_o respect_n we_o must_v love_v it_o too_o with_o a_o natural_a love._n 9_o thus_o far_o i_o have_v consider_v the_o general_a nature_n of_o this_o first_o great_a branch_n of_o love_n love_n of_o concupiscence_n or_o desire_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o kind_n of_o it_o for_o the_o right_a distribution_n of_o which_o i_o consider_v first_o that_o any_o motion_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v specify_v from_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o object_n or_o term_n to_o which_o it_o tend_v now_o the_o object_n of_o desire_n be_v good_a it_o follow_v that_o the_o kind_n of_o desire_n must_v receive_v their_o distinction_n from_o the_o kind_n of_o good_a now_o good_a be_v relative_n and_o the_o relation_n that_o it_o imply_v be_v a_o relation_n of_o convenience_n either_o to_o the_o soul_n or_o body_n that_o be_v either_o to_o the_o soul_n direct_o and_o immediate_o or_o indirect_o and_o by_o the_o mediation_n of_o bodily_a sensation_n so_o that_o all_o good_a be_v either_o intellectual_a or_o sensual_a and_o consequent_o the_o same_o member_n of_o divisition_n will_v be_v the_o adequate_a distribution_n of_o desire_n that_o be_v a_o intellectual_a desire_n who_o object_n be_v a_o intellectual_a good_a and_o a_o sensual_a desire_n be_v that_o who_o object_n be_v a_o sensual_a good_a 10_o but_o i_o further_o observe_v that_o this_o same_o denomination_n of_o intellectual_a and_o sensitive_a may_v be_v take_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o part_n move_v as_o well_o as_o from_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o object_n the_o appetitive_a faculty_n in_o

there_o be_v pure_a intellect_n whereby_o idea_n be_v apprehend_v without_o any_o corporeal_a image_n and_o imagination_n whereby_o object_n be_v present_v to_o our_o mind_n under_o some_o corporeal_a
