of Good are both of them good Cupidity may so far extend to either as they are future But if any man thinks it more proper that Cupidity about the last Object should be called Desire and about the first Flight I am indifferent Only this is plain from what is gone before that among the sorts of Cupidity those of them excel which spring up either from Horror or from Complacency For nothing kindles Desire so much as Pulchritude or Beauty and nothing puts sooner to flight than any horrid Deformity And the thing which commonly is thought most horrible is Death XII TO this Passion of Cupidity there may first be reduced Hope Fear Jealousie Security and Despair Then in the next place Irresolution Animosity Boldness Emulation Cowardise and Consternation The first Sett of these agree in this that the Object of them all presents it self in the shape of what is easie or difficult yet without any Dependency of the Event upon our selves The latter Sett agree in this that the Object of all seems to depend upon our selves yet either with difficulty in the choice of Means whence comes Irresolution or else in the execution unto which all the rest refer XIII HOPE is a Passion of the Soul by which it is disposed to believe the Event which it desires And Fear is a Passion by which it is disposed to believe that what it desires will not happen When Hope excludes all Fear it is called Security or Presumption and Fear when it shuts out all Hope Despair Jealousie is Fear of losing a Good we highly esteem but grounded upon trivial Canses XIV IRRESOLUTION is a Fear of erring in the choice of those Means which are proper to any certain end Animosity is a Passion which disposes the Mind to act manfully in the execution of whatever it sets about And if this happen in things that are attended with much danger it is called Boldness or Daring if it spring from the Example of what success others have had then Emulation But Cowardise is opposed to Animosity as Consternation is to Daring or Boldness For Cowardise is a certain feeble cold Passion of the Soul that hinders her from doing those things which it were otherwise in her Power to do Consternation is Cowardise or Timorousness accompanied with Trouble and Amazement which disables the Soul from resisting an Impending Evil. XV. The 4th Rank of the Passions THE Fourth Classis is Joy and Grief which have respect to the Good or Evil that is present The Passions which refer to this Head are chiefly distinguished by these Circumstances First barely in respect to our selves or unto others For present Good as it regards our selves begets Joy even as present Evil does Grief And if Evil betides another who has deserved it it causes Laughter but if he hath not deserved it then Commiseration If Good happens to an unworthy Man there follows Envy but Good happening to another and which redounds any way to our Benefit produceth Congratulation XVI MOREOVER Good and Evil are considered in the first place in respect of the Cause whether as to our selves or unto others For Good done by our selves begets Satisfaction or Tranquillity of Mind Evil begets Repentance but the doing a thing which we doubt whether it be good or evil begets Remorse of Conscience However Good performed by others begets Favor altho not done to our selves but if to our selves then Gratitude So Evil committed by others if not done against our selves begets Indignation only but if it touches us then Anger Again in respect of the Opinion of others as the Good which we enjoy exciteth Glory in us so doth Evil Shame Lastly in respect of Time As the Duration of Good begets Satiety or a Loathing so the Duration of Evil lessens Grief but from Good that is past there arises what is properly called Desire viz. to enjoy it again as from Evil that is past Mirth XVII JOY is a pleasant Commotion of the Soul or a Passion in which does consist the Fruition of Good which she regards as her own Grief is an ungrateful Passion of the Soul in which does consist the Inconvenience of Evil or of some Deficiency which she sensibly regards as her own Derision is a Joy begotten on any slight Mischief happening to one who is thought to have deserved it If this be upon very great Grounds and accompanied with Intentions of open Contempt it is called Insulting Envy is Grief which ariseth when Good happens to any that are unworthy of it Commiseration is Grief when Evil happens to any one who has not deserved it Congratulation is Joy arising by Good that happens to another in which we think we are some way concerned Acquiescing or Self-satisfaction is of all Joys the most pleasing and it ariseth from the Opinion of some good Work we have lately performed Repentance is Grief and the bitterest that can happen as arising from the Conviction of some Evil committed by us Remorse of Conscience is Grief that ariseth upon doubting whether what we have done be good or not For 't is the effect of Rashness to attempt any Work before all Hesitation or Wavering of the Mind be quieted XVIII FAVOR is a sort of chearful Good-Will or Benevolence towards those with whose Well-doing we are delighted Gratitude is a kind of pleasing desire to do good to them who have done good unto us Indignation is Grief that is kindled against those who have done some ill thing Anger is Indignation against those who have done us hurt and for which we have purpose of Revenge Glory is Joy which ariseth from Opinion or from Hope of Praise among Men. Shame is Grief that ariseth from the Opinion or Fear of Reproach Satiety is Grief that ariseth from the same Cause from whence Joy did before proceed Desire properly so called is Grief upon the Loss of Good that is never to be recovered Mirth is Joy from the Remembrance of past Evil. XIX THIS is almost the same Enumeration of the Passions that Des Cartes has given us as well of those which are the primitive ones as of such as are derivative from them or else complicated with them together with the Definitions of all as near as we could approach unto that eminent Philosopher As to the Complication it self of those Passions that issue from the Primitive I here omit it for Brevity's sake as intending elsewhere and more opportunely to speak very soon thereunto But for those deep and Natural Causes of such Passions which lie abstruse and remote as relating either to the Conarion before spoken of or to the Brain or to certain Motions of the Blood or Spirits or to the Orifices of the Heart which are sometimes more dilated or more contracted or else to the Nerves of the Bowels and Stomach or to the Spleen and Liver or finally to the Heart it self I do willingly and knowingly pass them all-by as well for other Reasons as chiefly that they rather belong to Natu●
