of_o the_o soul_n so_o as_o if_o we_o shall_v give_v the_o name_n of_o passion_n to_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o understanding_n or_o of_o the_o will_n it_o be_v by_o a_o kind_n of_o improper_a and_o figurative_a speech_n allude_v to_o the_o passion_n of_o the_o sense_n with_o the_o which_o they_o have_v some_o resemblance_n the_o reason_n why_o passion_n be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o rational_a part_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v for_o that_o this_o part_n do_v not_o employ_v any_o corporeal_a organ_n in_o her_o action_n and_o that_o her_o office_n be_v not_o to_o alter_v or_o bring_v any_o change_n unto_o the_o body_n the_o which_o notwithstanding_o be_v a_o action_n which_o do_v accompany_v the_o passion_n inseparable_o but_o see_v they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o any_o other_o part_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o in_o the_o sensitive_a appetite_n there_o rise_v here_o a_o great_a question_n whether_o this_o appetite_n shall_v be_v divide_v into_o the_o irascible_a &_o concupiscible_a or_o desire_a power_n as_o into_o two_o different_a and_o distinct_a power_n or_o whether_o it_o make_v but_o one_o power_n of_o both_o the_o common_a opinion_n be_v that_o as_o their_o object_n be_v diverse_a so_o they_o be_v two_o distinct_a power_n whereof_o the_o reason_n be_v gather_v by_o that_o which_o experience_n do_v show_v we_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n subject_a to_o corruption_n for_o we_o see_v in_o other_o corruptible_a creature_n that_o they_o have_v not_o only_o a_o inclination_n and_o power_n to_o seek_v after_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v fit_a and_o convenient_a for_o they_o and_o to_o fly_v those_o which_o may_v hurt_v or_o annoy_v they_o but_o moreover_o they_o have_v another_o faculty_n or_o power_n to_o resist_v and_o fight_v against_o that_o which_o may_v cross_v their_o action_n or_o destroy_v their_o be_v as_o for_o example_n fire_n be_v not_o only_o endue_v with_o lightness_n to_o fly_v up_o high_a but_o it_o have_v also_o receive_v heat_n from_o nature_n by_o mean_n whereof_o it_o do_v resist_v and_o fight_v against_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o action_n in_o like_a manner_n it_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o good_a of_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v have_v two_o kind_n of_o inclination_n the_o one_o to_o pursue_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v please_a &_o agreeable_a to_o the_o sense_n and_o to_o avoid_v those_o which_o may_v any_o way_n annoy_v he_o and_o this_o we_o call_v the_o concupiscible_a or_o desire_a power_n and_o the_o other_o by_o mean_n whereofhee_o may_v encounter_v and_o vanquish_v whatsoever_o oppose_v itself_o cross_v his_o inclination_n or_o that_o tend_v to_o the_o destruction_n of_o his_o be_v or_o the_o decay_n of_o his_o contentment_n which_o be_v that_o we_o call_v the_o irascible_a or_o angry_a power_n this_o differ_v from_o the_o concupiscible_a for_o that_o the_o concupiscible_a tend_v to_o the_o sensible_a good_a absolúte_o consider_v and_o without_o any_o cross_n whereas_o the_o irascible_a do_v always_o aim_v at_o the_o good_a which_o be_v environ_v with_o some_o difficulty_n the_o which_o she_o strive_v to_o vanquish_v to_o the_o end_n she_o may_v take_v all_o obstacle_n from_o the_o concupiscible_a power_n which_o across_o her_o content_n and_o hinder_v she_o from_o enjoy_v the_o good_a which_o she_o desire_v to_o attain_v unto_o so_o as_o the_o irascible_a be_v as_o a_o sword_n and_o target_n to_o the_o concupiscible_a for_o that_o she_o combat_n for_o her_o content_n and_o resist_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v cross_v she_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n prove_v that_o they_o be_v two_o different_a and_o distinct_a power_n for_o as_o mathematician_n have_v note_v diverse_a apparent_a irregularity_n in_o the_o planet_n and_o observe_v that_o they_o seem_v sometime_o to_o hasten_v their_o course_n and_o sometime_o to_o slack_v it_o sometime_o they_o stand_v as_o it_o be_v fix_v and_o sometime_o to_o return_v back_o in_o the_o zodiaque_fw-la sometime_o they_o seem_v near_o to_o the_o earth_n &_o sometime_o they_o appear_v far_o off_o they_o have_v hold_v it_o necessary_a to_o multiply_v their_o heaven_n and_o to_o give_v they_o many_o to_o avoid_v all_o disorder_n in_o these_o excellent_a body_n of_o the_o universe_n in_o like_a manner_n the_o diversity_n of_o passion_n in_o man_n the_o contrary_a motion_n &_o desire_n wherewith_o his_o soul_n be_v toss_v have_v let_v philosopher_n understand_v that_o there_o be_v in_o he_o not_o only_o a_o concupiscible_a power_n but_o also_o a_o irascible_a for_o that_o many_o time_n we_o have_v a_o desire_n of_o that_o which_o we_o strive_v against_o and_o resist_v with_o vehemency_n and_o if_o we_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v vanquish_v we_o be_v grieve_v as_o he_o who_o desire_v to_o see_v the_o body_n of_o such_o as_o have_v be_v execute_v suppress_v this_o desire_n and_o divert_v his_o eye_n from_o this_o infamous_a spectacle_n yet_o suffer_v himself_o

his_o eye_n whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o desire_n and_o anger_n be_v two_o diverse_a faculty_n see_v that_o one_o power_n be_v not_o carry_v at_o one_o instant_a to_o contrary_a desire_n and_o we_o find_v in_o ourselves_o that_o often_o time_n we_o be_v incline_v to_o angry_a passion_n &_o be_v not_o much_o move_v with_o those_o of_o the_o concupiscible_a or_o to_o the_o contrary_n in_o like_a manner_n there_o be_v creature_n which_o have_v desire_n but_o no_o motion_n of_o choler_n as_o for_o example_n sheep_n pigeon_n and_o turtle_n make_v show_v to_o have_v impression_n of_o desire_n and_o yet_o there_o appear_v in_o they_o no_o sign_n of_o anger_n so_o as_o to_o observe_v their_o disposition_n well_o we_o may_v call_v in_o question_n that_o which_o aristotle_n say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o creature_n but_o have_v some_o touch_n of_o choler_n final_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o sometime_o the_o irascible_a make_v we_o to_o pursue_v thing_n which_o be_v absolute_o contrary_a to_o the_o concupiscible_a as_o when_o with_o the_o hazard_n of_o life_n which_o be_v so_o dear_a and_o precious_a to_o all_o creature_n we_o seek_v to_o revenge_v ourselves_o of_o a_o powerful_a enemy_n which_o have_v wrong_v us._n for_o this_o revenge_n which_o put_v our_o life_n in_o danger_n can_v proceed_v from_o the_o same_o power_n which_o desire_v passionate_o to_o preserve_v it_o and_o so_o the_o irascible_a and_o concupiscible_a be_v two_o different_a power_n and_o there_o be_v no_o part_n of_o passion_n proper_o take_v but_o in_o these_o two_o sensitive_a faculty_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o thing_n we_o gather_v from_o the_o definition_n we_o have_v give_v it_o appear_v also_o by_o the_o same_o definition_n that_o the_o passion_n of_o our_o soul_n shall_v always_o be_v follow_v with_o a_o sensible_a alteration_n in_o the_o body_n by_o the_o impression_n of_o the_o sensitive_a appetite_n touch_v with_o the_o imagination_n of_o good_a or_o evil_n which_o present_v itself_o and_o here_o first_o we_o must_v not_o wonder_v if_o the_o ●oule_n do_v impart_v her_o motion_n and_o cause_v such_o great_a alteration_n in_o the_o body_n see_v that_o the_o body_n do_v impart_v his_o pain_n when_o as_o it_o suffer_v any_o violence_n for_o if_o it_o be_v lay_v on_o the_o rack_n break_v on_o a_o wheel_n or_o cast_v into_o the_o fire_n the_o soul_n groan_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o his_o torment_n the_o which_o happen_v for_o that_o be_v unite_v as_o form_n and_o matter_n and_o make_v but_o one_o body_n which_o grow_v from_o their_o union_n of_o necessity_n all_o thing_n must_v be_v common_a unto_o they_o except_o those_o thing_n which_o repugn_v and_o can_v agree_v with_o their_o particular_a nature_n and_o therefore_o by_o a_o certain_a contagion_n they_o communicate_v their_o passion_n one_o unto_o another_o but_o in_o this_o subject_n there_o be_v a_o strong_a reason_n for_o the_o which_o the_o soul_n excite_v these_o alteration_n in_o the_o body_n by_o her_o passion_n that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o that_o the_o soul_n do_v not_o only_o reside_v in_o the_o body_n as_o the_o form_n but_o do_v preside_v there_o in_o quality_n of_o the_o move_a cause_n by_o mean_n whereof_o she_o do_v change_n and_o alter_v it_o at_o her_o will_n for_o as_o the_o intellectual_a power_n which_o move_v a_o heaven_n apply_v her_o virtue_n to_o move_v it_o make_v it_o to_o change_v place_n and_o draw_v it_o from_o east_n to_o west_n or_o from_o west_n to_o east_n even_o so_o the_o soul_n which_o have_v a_o move_a power_n command_v over_o the_o body_n change_v his_o natural_a disposition_n and_o by_o her_o agitation_n pull_v he_o from_o his_o rest_n wherein_o he_o be_v before_o she_o trouble_v he_o in_o this_o
manner_n moreover_o we_o must_v not_o wonder_v if_o the_o sensitive_a appetite_n in_o particular_a make_v so_o great_a a_o impression_n in_o the_o body_n this_o proceed_v from_o the_o sympathy_n which_o be_v find_v in_o those_o power_n which_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o same_o soul_n which_o employ_v they_o so_o as_o the_o sensitive_a appetite_n come_v to_o play_v her_o part_n she_o do_v stir_v up_o the_o move_a faculty_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o which_o dilate_v itself_o or_o shrink_v up_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o object_n which_o have_v make_v impression_n upon_o the_o sensitive_a appetite_n whence_o grow_v all_o the_o alteration_n which_o be_v make_v in_o the_o body_n of_o man_n and_o here_o we_o must_v remember_v that_o nature_n have_v fashion_v the_o heart_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o it_o be_v in_o perpetual_a motion_n according_a unto_o which_o it_o sometime_o extende_v itself_o and_o sometime_o retire_v of_o itself_o with_o a_o certain_a measure_n and_o proportion_n the_o which_o continue_v within_o the_o bound_n which_o nature_n have_v prescribe_v it_o as_o conformable_a unto_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o creature_n this_o motion_n be_v whole_o natural_a but_o if_o it_o once_o come_v to_o break_v this_o law_n and_o show_v itself_o more_o violent_a or_o more_o slow_a than_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o creature_n require_v the_o natural_a harmony_n be_v break_v and_o there_o follow_v a_o great_a alteration_n in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o creature_n of_o all_o the_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n those_o of_o the_o sensitive_a appetite_n only_o cause_v the_o alteration_n of_o this_o motion_n who_o action_n alone_o may_v make_v it_o more_o violent_a or_o more_o slow_a than_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n do_v allow_v and_o hence_o it_o come_v that_o none_o but_o the_o action_n of_o the_o sensitive_a appetite_n be_v make_v with_o a_o visible_a change_n of_o the_o body_n and_o with_o a_o sensible_a alteration_n of_o the_o natural_a

which_o do_v whole_o trouble_v the_o natural_a constitution_n of_o the_o creature_n the_o which_o happen_v after_o this_o manner_n the_o object_n of_o the_o sense_n strike_v first_o upon_o the_o

of_o the_o soul_n and_o induce_v they_o to_o embrace_v or_o fly_v they_o and_o by_o the_o impression_n of_o its_o motion_n agitate_v the_o spirit_n which_o we_o call_v vital_a the_o which_o go_v from_o the_o heart_n disperse_v themselves_o throughout_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o at_o the_o same_o instant_n the_o blood_n which_o derive_v from_o the_o liver_n participate_v in_o this_o

for_o in_o motion_n of_o joy_n and_o desire_n the_o heart_n melt_v with_o gladness_n in_o those_o of_o sorrow_n and_o trouble_n it_o shrink_v up_o and_o freeze_v with_o grief_n in_o those_o of_o

a_o choleric_a man_n be_v sharp_a and_o rough_a final_o there_o rise_v no_o passion_n in_o the_o soul_n which_o leave_v not_o some_o visible_a trace_n of_o her_o agitation_n upon_o the_o body_n of_o man_n last_o we_o may_v gather_v from_o the_o definition_n of_o passion_n that_o this_o alteration_n which_o happen_v in_o the_o body_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n for_o that_o as_o we_o have_v say_v it_o transport_v the_o heart_n beyond_o the_o bound_n which_o nature_n have_v prescribe_v it_o and_o do_v agitate_v it_o extraordinary_o hence_o it_o grow_v that_o among_o all_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o sensitive_a appetite_n those_o only_o be_v proper_o call_v passion_n which_o be_v accompany_v with_o some_o notable_a defect_n for_o as_o we_o call_v passion_n of_o the_o body_n disease_n wound_n pain_n inflammation_n incision_n and_o all_o other_o violent_a accident_n which_o happen_v extraordinary_o so_o we_o proper_o call_v passion_n of_o the_o soul_n those_o infirmity_n wherewith_o she_o be_v afflict_v and_o trouble_v as_o pity_n fear_v bashfulness_n or_o shame_n love_n hatred_n desire_n choler_n and_o the_o rest_n for_o in_o this_o subject_a the_o word_n passion_n be_v not_o take_v in_o that_o sense_n whereas_o we_o say_v that_o a_o subject_n suffer_v when_o as_o it_o receive_v some_o new_a form_n be_v it_o that_o at_o the_o come_n of_o this_o form_n

or_o contrary_a unto_o it_o as_o when_o water_n grow_v cold_a or_o be_v make_v hot_a but_o the_o word_n passion_n be_v take_v here_o for_o a_o change_n which_o be_v make_v in_o man_n contrary_a to_o

that_o it_o be_v so_o of_o other_o passion_n but_o have_v appoint_v they_o their_o seat_n elsewhere_o and_o have_v maintain_v that_o some_o do_v reside_v in_o the_o liver_n other_o in_o the_o spleen_n

unless_o it_o extend_v unto_o the_o sense_n wherefore_o some_o affirm_v that_o this_o kind_n of_o joy_n be_v find_v in_o the_o essence_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n and_o they_o
