passion_n as_o may_v conduct_v they_o according_a to_o our_o design_n the_o three_o mean_v a_o orator_n be_v to_o use_v be_v the_o art_n of_o exciting_a such_o passion_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o his_o

or_o affection_n of_o his_o auditor_n but_o it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o use_v so_o unjust_a mean_n as_o the_o passion_n that_o it_o be_v but_o ill_a practice_n to_o regulate_v and_o clear_v the_o mind_n of_o a_o auditor_n to_o raise_v fume_n of_o passion_n which_o will_v rather_o choke_v and_o obfuscate_v it_o we_o will_v reply_v to_o this_o objection_n as_o a_o thing_n worthy_a to_o be_v consider_v passion_n be_v good_a in_o themselves_o it_o be_v extravagance_n that_o make_v they_o faulty_a there_o be_v motion_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o incline_v it_o to_o good_a and_o divert_v it_o from_o evil_n which_o push_v it_o on_o to_o the_o acquisition_n of_o the_o one_o and_o prick_v it_o forward_o when_o it_o be_v too_o dull_a and_o lazy_a to_o escape_v from_o the_o other_o thus_o far_o there_o be_v no_o evil_a in_o passion_n but_o when_o man_n follow_v their_o false_a idea_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a and_o love_v nothing_o but_o the_o world_n the_o passion_n which_o be_v good_a in_o their_o nature_n become_v bad_a by_o contagion_n of_o the_o object_n upon_o which_o they_o be_v turn_v who_o can_v doubt_v but_o our_o passion_n be_v bad_a when_o in_o the_o idea_n of_o the_o word_n passion_n we_o comprehend_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o sell_v with_o all_o its_o irregularity_n if_o by_o choler_n we_o intend_v the_o rage_n the_o rapture_n the_o transport_v that_o trouble_n our_o reason_n it_o must_v be_v confefse_v that_o choler_n be_v a_o ill_a thing_n but_o if_o we_o take_v it_o for_o a_o motion_n or_o affection_n of_o the_o soul_n that_o animate_v against_o the_o impediment_n which_o retard_v we_o in_o the_o possession_n of_o any_o good_a if_o we_o take_v it_o for_o a_o certain_a force_n or_o power_n enable_v we_o to_o contend_v and_o conquer_v such_o evil_n i_o can_v see_v how_o any_o man_n can_v reasonable_o think_v it_o lawful_a to_o excite_v that_o choler_n and_o make_v use_n of_o its_o efficacy_n to_o encourage_v his_o auditor_n in_o quest_n of_o that_o good_a which_o he_o propose_v to_o they_o in_o our_o most_o exorbitant_a passion_n in_o those_o who_o object_n seem_v nothing_o but_o false_a and_o pretend_a good_a there_o be_v always_o something_o that_o be_v real_o good_a be_v it_o not_o a_o good_a thing_n to_o love_v he_o that_o be_v handsome_a great_a magnificent_a or_o noble_a we_o may_v then_o make_v use_n of_o a_o motion_n that_o carry_v on_o towards_o beauty_n and_o grandeur_n and_o by_o so_o do_v put_v we_o in_o action_n we_o may_v without_o the_o least_o scruple_n awaken_v this_o motion_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o our_o auditory_a by_o display_v the_o grandeur_n and_o beauty_n of_o the_o thing_n to_o which_o we_o persuade_v they_o because_o it_o be_v suppose_v we_o will_v recommend_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v worthy_o great_a and_o what_o be_v real_o beautiful_a man_n be_v not_o to_o be_v act_v but_o by_o motion_n of_o their_o passion_n every_o man_n be_v carry_v away_o by_o what_o he_o love_v
