by_o evil_a genij_fw-la so_o that_o passion_n natural_o be_v not_o evil_a but_o be_v make_v so_o by_o the_o use_n or_o rather_o the_o abuse_n of_o they_o now_o if_o you_o grant_v as_o you_o can_v deny_v that_o the_o god_n create_v man_n good_a and_o pure_a what_o you_o have_v say_v to_o prove_v the_o evilenesse_n of_o this_o passion_n be_v to_o no_o effect_n for_o though_o this_o passion_n be_v conjoin_v with_o desire_n which_o i_o grant_v be_v a_o token_n of_o need_n or_o want_v yet_o that_o want_n be_v not_o evil_a of_o itself_o for_o the_o god_n so_o create_v man_n and_o make_v he_o

therefore_o that_o privation_n you_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o evil_a for_o to_o desire_v which_o you_o call_v the_o badge_n of_o the_o wan●_n be_v as_o natural_a as_o to_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o

and_o desire_v be_v not_o absolute_o good_a so_o that_o the_o cause_n or_o foundation_n be_v evil_a or_o rot_a the_o effect_n or_o build_n can_v be_v good_a or_o find_v i_o say_v as_o all_o outward_a

the_o only_a scope_n of_o it_o tend_v to_o the_o seek_v of_o good_a as_o aversion_n the_o eschew_v of_o evil_a but_o now_o if_o our_o desire_n be_v illude_v by_o our_o judgement_n or_o be_v guide_v by_o our_o sense_n and_o not_o true_o place_v by_o our_o understanding_n and_o will_n than_o they_o be_v exorbitant_a and_o become_v evil_a and_o we_o oftentimes_o desire_v evil_n not_o as_o evil_n

the_o use_n of_o the_o object_n but_o to_o become_v one_o with_o it_o to_o be_v incorporate_v with_o it_o and_o not_o to_o take_v any_o thing_n from_o it_o but_o to_o immerge_n itself_o in_o it_o and_o very_o like_o the_o true_a love_n of_o friendship_n wherein_o be_v exercise_v all_o virtue_n and_o where_o love_n be_v of_o a_o more_o celestial_a nature_n though_o that_o be_v not_o without_o

and_o as_o you_o propose_v mean_n for_o the_o shake_n off_o of_o this_o passion_n so_o i_o say_v those_o that_o be_v imbue_v with_o it_o though_o they_o may_v not_o have_v the_o power_n to_o decusse_v

it_o to_o be_v so_o than_o we_o do_v it_o not_o out_o of_o passion_n but_o out_o of_o judgement_n so_o that_o the_o passion_n quicken_v the_o understanding_n when_o it_o give_v it_o leave_v to_o
