like_a affection_n in_o animal_n 2._o that_o the_o affection_n in_o animal_n and_o man_n that_o come_v under_o the_o same_o denomination_n yet_o be_v distinguish_v by_o their_o object_n the_o affection_n of_o a_o bare_a sentient_a nature_n as_o love_n hatred_n fear_v joy_n etc._n etc._n be_v always_o terminate_v in_o a_o sensible_a good_a to_o be_v desire_v or_o evil_a to_o be_v avoid_v but_o the_o affection_n of_o the_o humane_a soul_n have_v not_o only_o for_o their_o object_n sensible_a good_a or_o evil_a but_o also_o good_a and_o evil_a of_o a_o high_a and_o noble_a size_n

vigour_n and_o energy_n by_o how_o much_o they_o be_v great_a and_o of_o great_a importance_n than_o sensible_a good_a or_o evil._n and_o as_o thus_o the_o divine_a goodness_n have_v furnish_v the_o
