they_o of_o virtue_n and_o vice_n but_o first_o we_o must_v know_v wherein_o these_o character_n consist_v and_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o they_o the_o character_n of_o passion_n and_o of_o habit_n be_v the_o mark_n of_o the_o motion_n and_o design_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v also_o its_o effect_n as_o be_v already_o say_v but_o because_o there_o be_v also_o two_o sort_n of_o effect_n those_o which_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o soul_n and_o those_o which_o be_v effect_v in_o the_o body_n there_o be_v also_o two_o kind_n of_o character_n the_o one_o moral_a the_o other_o corporal_n for_o if_o you_o consider_v a_o man_n in_o anger_n violence_n appear_v in_o all_o his_o action_n his_o word_n be_v full_a of_o threat_n and_o injury_n he_o cry_v out_o he_o run_v he_o strike_v

two_o kind_n of_o effect_n and_o two_o sort_n of_o character_n the_o one_o whereof_o consist_v in_o moral_a action_n and_o the_o other_o in_o the_o change_n and_o alteration_n of_o the_o body_n now_o we_o must_v see_v what_o these_o action_n be_v and_o what_o this_o change_n be_v for_o all_o moral_a action_n can_v be_v use_v for_o character_n otherwise_o some_o will_v be_v character_n of_o themselves_o since_o passion_n and_o virtue_n be_v moral_a action_n to_o take_v away_o this_o difficulty_n you_o must_v observe_v that_o the_o essence_n of_o human_a action_n consist_v in_o the_o inward_a emotion_n which_o the_o object_n form_n in_o the_o appetite_n and_o that_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v do_v in_o pursuance_n thereof_o be_v but_o as_o rivulet_n run_v from_o the_o same_o spring_n so_o anger_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o desire_n of_o vengeance_n and_o in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o that_o emotion_n the_o soul_n produce_v exterior_a action_n which_o may_v serve_v to_o this_o purpose_n as_o threaten_n blow_n and_o other_o violence_n which_o we_o call_v character_n because_o they_o express_v and_o discover_v the_o alteration_n and_o interior_a motion_n of_o the_o appetite_n but_o there_o be_v also_o another_o thing_n to_o be_v here_o consider_v and_o it_o be_v that_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o passion_n of_o virtue_n and_o of_o vice_n we_o be_v not_o to_o conceive_v they_o as_o quality_n or_o simple_a action_n but_o as_o complete_a quality_n and_o action_n which_o be_v accompany_v by_o many_o other_o and_o yet_o which_o all_o tend_v to_o one_o principal_a end_n which_o the_o soul_n propose_v for_o although_o love_n to_o speak_v proper_o be_v but_o a_o simple_a
