undergo_v not_o only_o at_o his_o passion_n but_o throughout_o his_o whole_a life_n must_v needs_o be_v in_o a_o singular_a manner_n afflictive_a to_o he_o and_o hence_o appear_v the_o vanity_n of_o their_o opinion_n who_o be_v little_a or_o nothing_o affect_v with_o the_o consideration_n of_o our_o lord_n passion_n because_o they_o think_v it_o be_v make_v light_a to_o he_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o union_n with_o the_o godhead_n it_o be_v easy_a for_o he_o some_o inconsiderate_a person_n be_v ready_a to_o say_v to_o suffer_v this_o or_o this_o for_o he_o be_v god_n and_o not_o mere_a man_n as_o we_o be_v true_o he_o be_v so_o but_o his_o being_n god_n do_v no_o way_n lessen_v the_o punishment_n he_o undergo_v as_o man_n but_o only_o support_v he_o in_o his_o existence_n under_o it_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o god_n be_v suppose_v by_o a_o act_n of_o his_o almighty_a power_n to_o preserve_v the_o body_n of_o the_o damn_a incorruptible_a among_o the_o everlasting_a burn_n but_o this_o i_o think_v be_v no_o kindness_n to_o they_o neither_o do_v the_o society_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n any_o more_o diminish_v the_o suffering_n of_o our_o dear_a lord_n nay_o in_o one_o respect_v it_o prove_v a_o accidental_a aggravation_n to_o they_o because_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o this_o noble_a union_n he_o have_v give_v he_o a_o body_n of_o a_o most_o admirable_a complexion_n and_o harmonious_a temperature_n and_o consequent_o of_o a_o flesh_n exceed_v tender_a and_o most_o exquisite_o perceptive_a of_o the_o least_o impression_n so_o long_a the_o sympathize_v sun_n his_o light_n withdraw_v and_o wonder_v how_o the_o star_n their_o die_a lord_n can_v view_v the_o eclipse_n which_o accompany_v the_o passion_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v so_o remarkable_a and_o miraculous_a that_o it_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o by_o many_o of_o the_o gentile_a historian_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o make_v this_o eclipse_n so_o very_o remarkable_a the_o time_n of_o its_o appearance_n the_o time_n of_o its_o duration_n and_o the_o degree_n of_o it_o 1._o for_o the_o time_n of_o its_o appearance_n it_o be_v at_o full_a moon_n when_o the_o moon_n be_v not_o in_o conjunction_n with_o but_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o sun._n and_o this_o appear_v not_o only_o from_o the_o testimony_n of_o dionysius_n who_o affirm_v that_o he_o see_v it_o at_o that_o time_n but_o also_o from_o the_o time_n of_o our_o lord_n passion_n which_o according_a to_o the_o relation_n of_o the_o evangelist_n be_v at_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o passeover_n now_o the_o jew_n be_v bind_v to_o celebrate_v the_o paschal_n solemnity_n always_o at_o full_a moon_n as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o twelve_o of_o exodus_fw-la this_o be_v no_o time_n therefore_o for_o a_o natural_a eclipse_n because_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o moon_n shall_v then_o interpose_v betwixt_o we_o and_o the_o sun._n 2._o for_o the_o time_n of_o its_o duration_n it_o be_v full_a three_o hour_n which_o be_v another_o evidence_n that_o this_o be_v no_o natural_a eclipse_n for_o the_o natural_a eclipse_n of_o the_o sun_n can_v never_o last_v so_o long_o both_o because_o of_o the_o great_a disproportion_n between_o the_o sun_n magnitude_n and_o that_o of_o the_o moon_n and_o because_o of_o the_o swift_a motion_n of_o the_o latter_a 3._o for_o the_o degree_n of_o it_o it_o be_v a_o total_a eclipse_n the_o sun_n be_v so_o darken_v that_o as_o historian_n report_v who_o write_v of_o that_o eclipse_n the_o star_n appear_v and_o this_o be_v another_o argument_n that_o it_o be_v no_o natural_a phoenomenon_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o body_n of_o the_o moon_n which_o be_v so_o infinite_o less_o than_o that_o of_o the_o sun_n shall_v total_o eclipse_v it_o now_o all_o these_o three_o remarkable_n be_v comprise_v in_o the_o compass_n of_o these_o two_o verse_n for_o in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o sun_n withdraw_v his_o light_n it_o be_v intimate_v that_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o intercept_v by_o the_o ordinary_a conjunction_n of_o the_o moon_n but_o that_o by_o a_o extraordinary_a commission_n from_o the_o god_n of_o nature_n the_o sun_n rein_a in_o his_o light_n and_o suspend_v the_o emission_n of_o his_o beam_n and_o this_o denote_v the_o time_n of_o its_o appearance_n viz._n when_o the_o moon_n be_v not_o in_o conjunction_n the_o time_n of_o its_o duration_n be_v imply_v by_o the_o word_n so_o long_o and_o last_o the_o degree_n of_o it_o be_v imply_v in_o the_o last_o verse_n and_o wonder_v how_o the_o star_n their_o die_a lord_n can_v view_v where_o the_o appearance_n of_o the_o star_n be_v not_o direct_o express_v but_o only_o insinuate_v and_o couch_v for_o the_o more_o elegancy_n of_o the_o thought_n and_o calm_v the_o relic_n of_o his_o grief_n with_o hymn_n divine_a it_o be_v here_o suppose_a that_o the_o passion_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v now_o over_o and_o his_o father_n wrath_n whole_o appease_v for_o i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n approve_v the_o opinion_n of_o those_o who_o fancy_n that_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o interim_n betwixt_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n descend_v local_o into_o hell_n there_o to_o suffer_v the_o torment_n of_o the_o damn_a his_o own_o word_n upon_o the_o cross_n it_o be_v finish_v his_o promise_n to_o the_o penitent_a thief_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v with_o he_o that_o day_n in_o paradise_n and_o his_o last_o resignation_n of_o his_o spirit_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o father_n do_v all_o of_o they_o apparent_o contradict_v it_o but_o yet_o though_o the_o bitter_a cup_n be_v whole_o drink_v off_o upon_o the_o cross_n it_o be_v natural_a to_o imagine_v some_o little_a relish_n of_o it_o to_o remain_v behind_o for_o a_o time_n though_o all_o his_o suffering_n and_o penal_a infliction_n be_v end_v before_o his_o death_n yet_o i_o suppose_v and_o i_o think_v very_o natural_o some_o little_a discomposure_n of_o mind_n remain_v like_o the_o after-dropping_n of_o a_o shower_n which_o his_o soul_n can_v not_o immediate_o shake_v off_o upon_o her_o release_n from_o the_o body_n in_o allusion_n to_o that_o of_o virgil_n

a_o letter_n concern_v love_n and_o music_n sir_n to_o the_o first_o of_o your_o inquiry_n concern_v the_o true_a idea_n of_o love_n and_o particular_o that_o between_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o wherein_o it_o stand_v distinguish_v from_o lust_n my_o answer_n in_o short_a be_v this_o that_o love_n may_v be_v consider_v either_o bare_o as_o a_o tendency_n towards_o good_a or_o as_o a_o willing_a this_o good_a to_o something_o capable_a of_o it_o if_o love_n be_v take_v in_o the_o first_o sense_n be_v what_o we_o call_v desire_n if_o in_o the_o second_o it_o be_v wat_fw-mi we_o call_v charity_n or_o benevolence_n 2._o then_o as_o to_o desire_v there_o be_v either_o a_o intellectual_a or_o a_o sensual_a desire_n which_o denomination_n be_v not_o here_o take_v from_o the_o faculty_n but_o from_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o object_n that_o i_o call_v here_o a_o intellectual_a desire_n who_o object_n be_v a_o intellectual_a good_a and_o that_o a_o sensual_a desire_n who_o object_n be_v a_o sensual_a good_a and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o plato_n mean_v by_o his_o two_o cupid_n the_o latter_a of_o these_o be_v what_o we_o call_v lust_n 3._o but_o then_o this_o again_o signify_v either_o abstract_o and_o indifferent_o viz._n a_o bare_a desire_n of_o corporeal_a pleasure_n or_o else_o concrete_o and_o immoral_o viz._n a_o desire_n or_o longing_n after_o corporeal_a pleasure_n in_o forbid_a and_o unlawful_a instance_n 4._o these_o thing_n be_v thus_o brief_o premise_v my_o next_o resolution_n be_v this_o that_o the_o ordinary_a passion_n of_o love_n that_o which_o we_o mean_v when_o we_o say_v such_o a_o man_n or_o such_o a_o woman_n be_v in_o love_n be_v no_o other_o than_o plain_a lust_n if_o lust_n be_v take_v according_a to_o the_o first_o signification_n namely_o for_o a_o sensual_a desire_n or_o a_o tendency_n towards_o a_o sensual_a good_a but_o if_o lust_n be_v take_v in_o the_o latter_a sense_n as_o a_o tendency_n to_o corporeal_a pleasure_n in_o unlawful_a instance_n that_o which_o our_o saviour_n mean_v when_o he_o say_v he_o that_o look_v upon_o a_o woman_n to_o lust_n after_o she_o etc._n etc._n then_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o the_o passion_n we_o here_o speak_v of_o shall_v be_v lust_n because_o then_o it_o will_v be_v a_o sin_n to_o be_v in_o love_n and_o consequent_o there_o will_v be_v a_o necessity_n of_o sin_v in_o order_n to_o marriage_n because_o no_o man_n be_v suppose_v to_o marry_v but_o who_o he_o thus_o love_v 5._o and_o now_o to_o your_o 2d_o enquiry_n whether_o music_n be_v a_o sensual_a or_o intellectual_a pleasure_n before_o this_o can_v be_v determine_v the_o idea_n of_o a_o sensual_a and_o intellectual_a pleasure_n must_v be_v state_v 6._o and_o one_a i_o observe_v that_o the_o precise_a difference_n of_o a_o sensual_a pleasure_n can_v consist_v in_o this_o that_o the_o body_n be_v please_v or_o grateful_o affect_v nor_o of_o a_o intellectual_a that_o the_o mind_n be_v please_v for_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o strict_a union_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n one_o so_o sympathize_v with_o the_o other_o that_o these_o pleasure_n be_v always_o mutual_a and_o complicate_v so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o pleasure_n of_o mind_n that_o do_v not_o also_o recreate_v the_o body_n and_o no_o pleasure_n of_o body_n but_o whereof_o the_o mind_n have_v its_o share_n and_o thus_o far_o there_o be_v agreement_n and_o reciprocation_n that_o than_o which_o be_v peculiar_a and_o discriminative_a must_v be_v take_v from_o the_o primaryness_n or_o secondaryness_n of_o the_o perception_n that_o pleasure_n therefore_o be_v a_o intellectual_a pleasure_n when_o the_o soul_n be_v primary_o and_o immediate_o affect_v and_o the_o body_n only_o secondary_o and_o by_o participation_n and_o that_o be_v a_o sensual_a pleasure_n when_o the_o body_n be_v primary_o and_o immediate_o affect_v and_o the_o soul_n only_o secondary_o and_o by_o participation_n 7._o now_o according_a to_o this_o measure_n we_o must_v of_o necessity_n define_v the_o pleasure_n of_o hear_v music_n to_o be_v proper_o intellectual_a because_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o part_n that_o be_v then_o primary_o and_o immediate_o affect_v and_o the_o body_n only_o by_o result_n and_o that_o for_o this_o evident_a reason_n because_o music_n consist_v formal_o in_o proportion_n and_o proportion_n please_v only_o as_o understand_v that_o part_n must_v be_v primary_o and_o direct_o please_v which_o be_v capable_a of_o understandiug_v but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o body_n but_o the_o soul._n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o the_o ear_n may_v be_v direct_o please_v by_o a_o single_a sound_n as_o the_o eye_n be_v recreate_v by_o a_o single_a colour_n suppose_v green_a and_o this_o i_o grant_v to_o be_v a_o pleasure_n of_o sense_n as_o much_o as_o smell_v or_o taste_v though_o not_o so_o gross_a but_o the_o ear_n may_v no_o more_o proper_o be_v say_v to_o be_v please_v with_o the_o proportion_n of_o sound_n or_o with_o sound_n as_o proportionate_a than_o the_o eye_n be_v with_o a_o picture_n 8._o if_o it_o be_v here_o object_v that_o music_n be_v a_o pleasure_n of_o sense_n because_o it_o be_v convey_v by_o the_o ear_n i_o reply_v that_o if_o this_o be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v a_o pleasure_n sensual_a the_o most_o intellectual_a pleasure_n we_o be_v here_o capable_a of_o may_v be_v call_v sensual_a as_o read_v fine_a discourse_n contemplate_v the_o beauty_n of_o the_o creation_n attend_v to_o mathematical_a diagram_n and_o the_o like_a because_o all_o these_o as_o well_o as_o music_n be_v enjoy_v by_o the_o mediation_n of_o the_o sense_n 9_o but_o it_o matter_n not_o though_o the_o sense_n be_v the_o instrument_n of_o conveyance_n so_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o part_n direct_o and_o primary_o affect_v which_o be_v the_o case_n here_o for_o though_o the_o ear_n may_v be_v please_v with_o those_o single_a sound_n which_o with_o relation_n to_o each_o other_o be_v real_o harmonical_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o it_o can_v be_v please_v with_o they_o as_o such_o or_o in_o that_o formality_n this_o be_v the_o sole_a privilege_n of_o the_o mind_n which_o as_o it_o can_v only_o judge_v of_o so_o be_v it_o only_o capable_a of_o be_v please_v with_o harmony_n 10._o and_o thus_o sir_n you_o have_v my_o sentiment_n with_o as_o much_o brevity_n and_o clearness_n as_o i_o can_v use_v and_o it_o may_v be_v as_o the_o matter_n will_v bear_v i_o have_v now_o nothing_o further_a to_o add_v but_o to_o renew_v the_o assurance_n of_o my_o be_v your_o friend_n and_o servant_n j._n n._n a_o letter_n concern_v friendship_n sir_n 1._o to_o your_o question_n whether_o in_o propriety_n of_o speak_v there_o may_v be_v strict_a friendship_n between_o a_o man_n and_o his_o wife_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o the_o solution_n of_o this_o question_n depend_v upon_o another_o viz._n what_o be_v the_o requisite_n essential_o necessary_a to_o the_o exercise_n of_o friendship_n and_o this_o question_n likewise_o depend_v upon_o another_o viz._n what_o be_v the_o true_a notion_n or_o idea_n of_o friendship_n this_o be_v right_o state_v it_o will_v be_v easy_a to_o discern_v what_o be_v the_o essential_a requisite_n and_o consequent_o whether_o man_n and_o wife_n be_v capable_a term_n in_o this_o relation_n or_o no._n 2._o now_o as_o to_o the_o idea_n of_o friendship_n i_o answer_v first_o in_o general_n that_o friendship_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o benevolence_n or_o charity_n under_o some_o certain_a modification_n or_o accidental_a circumstance_n accidental_a i_o mean_v as_o to_o charity_n though_o necessary_a and_o essential_a to_o friendship_n and_o thus_o far_o i_o think_v all_o moralist_n be_v agree_v but_o now_o what_o these_o certain_a modification_n be_v here_o they_o begin_v to_o be_v divide_v it_o will_v be_v too_o tedious_a a_o work_n to_o insist_v here_o upon_o the_o variety_n of_o other_o man_n opinion_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v only_o brief_o deliver_v my_o own_o which_o be_v that_o all_o the_o modification_n of_o charity_n necessary_a to_o the_o constitution_n of_o friendship_n may_v be_v well_o enough_o reduce_v to_o these_o three_o 1._o that_o it_o be_v in_o a_o special_a manner_n intense_a 2_o that_o it_o be_v mutual_a and_o 3_o that_o it_o be_v manifest_a or_o mutual_o know_v charity_n when_o clothe_v with_o these_o three_o modification_n immediate_o commence_v friendship_n more_o than_o these_o it_o need_v not_o have_v but_o of_o these_o not_o one_o may_v be_v spare_v as_o will_v easy_o appear_v if_o you_o examine_v they_o several_o 3._o now_o from_o this_o idea_n of_o friendship_n it_o be_v very_o obvious_a to_o deduce_v what_o be_v the_o requisite_n necessary_a to_o friendship_n not_o in_o reference_n to_o its_o idea_n for_o that_o be_v already_o state_v but_o in_o reference_n to_o its_o existence_n or_o actual_a exercise_n that_o be_v in_o one_o word_n what_o be_v those_o disposition_n or_o aptness_n
