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 himself_o be_v please_v to_o show_v that_o he_o be_v indeed_o man_n too_o by_o sadness_n and_o tear_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v ashamed_a to_o confess_v ourselves_o such_o likewise_o by_o the_o same_o sign_n and_o appearance_n however_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o weakness_n to_o do_v thus_o yet_o be_v this_o so_o universal_a in_o this_o world_n that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o blame_v due_a 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 advantage_n be_v it_o to_o be_v sullen_a in_o our_o grief_n be_v it_o not_o better_a to_o diminish_v our_o displeasure_n by_o weep_v than_o to_o be_v harden_v into_o a_o pillar_n of_o salt_n instead_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 as_o water_n have_v a_o right_n to_o a_o passage_n and_o we_o ought_v to_o moderate_v only_o not_o forbid_v the_o use_n of_o they_o grief_n be_v sometime_o like_o a_o stream_n it_o swell_v if_o it_o be_v resist_v it_o slide_v away_o and_o be_v spend_v in_o the_o less_o time_n if_o we_o give_v it_o way_n provide_v we_o can_v overcome_v this_o enemy_n what_o matter_n be_v it_o whether_o we_o do_v this_o by_o fly_v or_o fight_v he_o but_o certain_o i_o fear_v i_o may_v be_v accuse_v for_o want_v of_o judgement_n for_o my_o insist_v upon_o this_o matter_n in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o seem_v no_o way_n necessary_a to_o allow_v woman_n the_o liberty_n to_o complain_v of_o their_o grievance_n and_o the_o most_o part_n of_o they_o seem_v to_o understand_v the_o trade_n of_o that_o but_o too_o well_o they_o mighty_o extol_v the_o constancy_n and_o strength_n of_o mind_n that_o be_v in_o isabel_n queen_n of_o spain_n because_o she_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o complain_v under_o sickness_n and_o the_o extreme_a pain_n and_o nevertheless_o they_o find_v at_o time_n enough_o of_o their_o sex_n who_o have_v a_o vice_n quite_o contrary_a to_o her_o virtue_n such_o who_o do_v not_o only_o complain_v with_o reason_n but_o with_o artifice_n too_o and_o who_o will_v seldom_o be_v long_o ill_a if_o complain_v be_v enough_o to_o cure_v they_o however_o that_o be_v we_o may_v learn_v from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v that_o to_o have_v a_o equal_a mind_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o we_o always_o abstain_v both_o from_o laugh_v or_o weep_v it_o be_v a_o philosophy_n too_o stoical_a that_o will_v not_o permit_v any_o but_o the_o same_o resentment_n to_o event_n that_o be_v favourable_a or_o deadly_a i_o judge_v that_o according_a to_o the_o occasion_n that_o present_v whether_o they_o be_v good_a or_o evil_a a_o wise_a man_n may_v be_v joyful_a or_o grieve_v yea_o i_o believe_v that_o he_o may_v complain_v when_o he_o have_v cause_n without_o be_v guilty_a of_o cowardliness_n in_o so_o do_v and_o that_o he_o need_v not_o be_v too_o much_o a_o philosopher_n as_o possidonius_fw-la who_o will_v needs_o appear_v well_o when_o he_o be_v real_o sick_n let_v we_o proceed_v further_o and_o have_v see_v wherein_o the_o equality_n of_o mind_n do_v not_o consist_v let_v we_o observe_v wherein_o it_o do_v and_o have_v overthrow_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o vulgar_a let_v we_o examine_v that_o of_o the_o wise_a in_o this_o matter_n i_o grant_v then_o that_o as_o there_o be_v many_o sort_n of_o wind_n upon_o the_o sea_n that_o can_v toss_v the_o ship_n so_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 much_o about_o the_o heart_n and_o then_o that_o dilate_v or_o contract_v itself_o too_o much_o as_o it_o may_v be_v see_v that_o fair_a wether_n envite_v we_o to_o walk_v and_o a_o storm_n drive_v 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 inequality_n in_o we_o yet_o there_o be_v none_o more_o capable_a to_o destroy_v we_o than_o grief_n this_o appear_v sufficient_o even_o in_o the_o colour_n of_o the_o face_n in_o those_o that_o be_v 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 testify_v neither_o wit_n nor_o courage_n who_o abandon_v themselves_o to_o their_o grief_n and_o be_v to_o such_o a_o degree_n disable_v that_o they_o can_v make_v one_o effort_n either_o towards_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 accompany_v with_o despair_n it_o make_v no_o resistance_n it_o stand_v with_o the_o arm_n across_o it_o give_v up_o its_o self_n a_o prey_n to_o the_o enemy_n one_o may_v judge_v from_o hence_o how_o much_o more_o dangerous_a this_o be_v than_o joy_n for_o that_o moderation_n depend_v more_o upon_o we_o than_o patience_n it_o be_v much_o more_o difficult_a say_v aristotle_n to_o support_v one_o self_n under_o grief_n than_o to_o abstain_v from_o pleasure_n temperance_n have_v its_o dependence_n on_o our_o liberty_n but_o toleration_n depend_v upon_o the_o malice_n of_o our_o enemy_n if_o joy_n persuade_v sadness_n constrain_v we_o
