may_v declare_v that_o weep_v and_o complaint_n do_v not_o always_o testify_v impatience_n but_o only_o they_o show_v that_o we_o be_v not_o utter_o insensible_a let_v we_o declare_v that_o if_o god_n

to_o a_o man_n for_o be_v liable_a to_o grief_n than_o for_o be_v subject_a to_o die_v we_o be_v no_o more_o unsensible_a in_o this_o life_n than_o we_o be_v immortal_a after_o all_o what_o

of_o let_v this_o bitterness_n drop_v out_o by_o the_o eye_n or_o of_o breathe_v it_o off_o with_o a_o few_o complaint_n a_o great_a poet_n have_v reason_n to_o say_v that_o the_o tear_n as_o well_o

there_o be_v also_o many_o sort_n of_o passion_n within_o we_o to_o trouble_v and_o shake_v our_o mind_n but_o it_o must_v be_v own_a that_o among_o all_o these_o movement_n there_o be_v but_o two_o principal_o which_o cause_n the_o most_o remarkable_a change_n in_o we_o i_o mean_v when_o the_o presence_n of_o good_a give_v we_o too_o much_o joy_n or_o that_o of_o evil_a too_o much_o grief_n there_o be_v some_o passion_n that_o make_v the_o blood_n fly_v out_o too_o much_o to_o the_o extreme_n of_o the_o body_n there_o be_v other_o that_o cause_v it_o to_o retire_v and_o throng_v too_o

we_o into_o the_o house_n in_o like_a manner_n the_o occasion_n of_o joy_n make_v we_o go_v too_o much_o out_o of_o ourselves_o those_o of_o sadness_n make_v we_o retire_v too_o much_o within_o ourselves_o the_o excess_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o hinder_v the_o due_a equality_n of_o the_o mind_n it_o remain_v then_o only_o at_o present_a that_o we_o show_v which_o of_o these_o two_o passion_n give_v we_o the_o great_a trouble_n and_o disorder_n and_o to_o see_v whether_o there_o be_v more_o danger_n of_o be_v too_o joyful_a in_o a_o good_a fortune_n or_o of_o be_v too_o sad_a in_o a_o bad_a one_o certain_o there_o be_v more_o die_n of_o grief_n than_o of_o joy_n and_o there_o be_v more_o shipwreck_n in_o tempest_n than_o in_o calm_n prosperity_n destroy_v less_o than_o adversity_n and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v imagine_v that_o good_a shall_v do_v as_o much_o evil_n as_o evil_n itself_o though_o all_o the_o passion_n be_v able_a to_o cause_v some_o

afflict_v and_o in_o the_o disorder_n that_o it_o bring_v into_o the_o thought_n of_o the_o wise_a person_n i_o do_v not_o wonder_v at_o all_o that_o those_o woman_n who_o be_v possess_v with_o grief_n be_v also_o pale_a and_o deject_a as_o if_o they_o have_v no_o life_n remain_v in_o they_o since_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n grief_n be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o long_a death_n and_o death_n be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o short_a sadness_n and_o indeed_o grief_n keep_v we_o too_o long_o under_o punishment_n it_o will_v seem_v a_o very_a favourable_a blow_n that_o shall_v put_v a_o end_n to_o our_o suffering_n though_o together_o with_o our_o life_n we_o never_o see_v any_o that_o kill_v themselves_o because_o they_o be_v too_o joyful_a but_o there_o be_v many_o do_v that_o fatal_a office_n for_o themselves_o because_o they_o think_v themselves_o too_o much_o afflict_v and_o who_o take_v death_n for_o a_o remedy_n to_o their_o grief_n how_o much_o mischief_n do_v this_o passion_n do_v both_o to_o body_n and_o soul_n it_o dispirit_n the_o blood_n it_o infect_v the_o whole_a constitution_n it_o give_v disease_n to_o the_o body_n and_o inequality_n to_o the_o mind_n it_o weaken_v the_o instrument_n first_fw-mi and_o then_o the_o reason_n it_o have_v sometime_o need_v of_o physic_n as_o well_o as_o philosophy_n to_o heal_v it_o i_o own_o that_o there_o be_v season_n sometime_o wherein_o affliction_n quicken_v we_o and_o open_v our_o eye_n but_o if_o we_o examine_v they_o thorough_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o dull_v the_o spirit_n more_o frequent_o than_o they_o awaken_v and_o excite_v it_o and_o that_o we_o may_v not_o dissemble_v the_o truth_n how_o many_o woman_n may_v we_o see_v who_o in_o their_o adversity_n become_v like_o the_o niobe_n of_o the_o poet_n who_o lose_v all_o sense_n in_o her_o misery_n and_o be_v turn_v into_o a_o marble_n statue_n how_o many_o be_v there_o that_o grow_v stupid_a and_o immovable_a as_o she_o be_v who_o

the_o comfort_a or_o defend_v of_o themselves_o it_o ought_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v think_v strange_a if_o sadness_n do_v so_o much_o destroy_v the_o wit_n since_o as_o this_o be_v ordinary_o

make_v reflection_n upon_o their_o unsteadiness_n they_o will_v confess_v that_o when_o the_o poet_n invent_v their_o chimaera_n they_o have_v a_o design_n to_o draw_v their_o picture_n since_o to_o

that_o the_o same_o mind_n shall_v be_v capable_a in_o so_o little_a time_n of_o so_o different_a thought_n even_o to_o contrariety_n sometime_o if_o many_o of_o these_o woman_n have_v a_o painter_n

a_o mere_a landscape_n of_o a_o wilderness_n we_o may_v see_v some_o of_o they_o that_o will_v on_o this_o day_n appear_v mighty_a chaste_a and_o on_o the_o next_o they_o be_v lewd_a now_o they_o show_v themselves_o covetous_a and_o anon_o liberal_a it_o will_v be_v well_o for_o they_o that_o they_o can_v forget_v this_o shameful_a variety_n and_o that_o they_o be_v without_o memory_n as_o
