alone_o have_v more_o heat_n and_o motion_n than_o any_o of_o our_o limb_n we_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o heat_n and_o all_o the_o motion_n within_o we_o see_v they_o depend_v not_o on_o the_o mind_n belong_v only_o to_o the_o body_n the_o five_o article_n that_o it_o be_v a_o error_n to_o believe_v the_o soul_n give_v motion_n and_o heat_n to_o the_o body_n whereby_o we_o shall_v eschew_v a_o

whereas_o indeed_o the_o contrary_n shall_v be_v suppose_v that_o the_o soul_n absent_v itself_o in_o death_n only_o because_o this_o natural_a heat_n cease_v and_o the_o organ_n which_o seem_v to_o

will_v not_o here_o omit_v to_o say_v succinct_o that_o while_o we_o live_v there_o be_v a_o continual_a heat_n in_o our_o heart_n which_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o fire_n that_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o

they_o may_v yet_o he_o annex_v to_o other_o by_o habit_n as_o experience_n show_v in_o word_n that_o excite_v motion_n in_o the_o kernel_n which_o according_a to_o the_o institution_n of_o nature_n

the_o kernel_n as_o the_o spirit_n and_o brain_n which_o represent_v certain_a object_n to_o the_o soul_n be_v natural_o join_v with_o those_o that_o excite_v certain_a passion_n in_o she_o yet_o they_o may_v by_o habit_n be_v separate_v and_o annex_v to_o other_o very_o different_a and_o moreover_o that_o this_o habit_n may_v be_v acquire_v by_o one_o action_n only_o and_o require_v not_o a_o long_o usuage_v as_o as_o when_o a_o man_n at_o unaware_o meet_v with_o any_o nasty_a thing_n in_o a_o dish_n of_o meat_n which_o he_o have_v a_o very_a good_a stomach_n to_o this_o accident_n may_v so_o alter_v the_o disposition_n of_o the_o brain_n thataman_n shall_v never_o afterward_o see_v any_o such_o kind_n of_o meat_n without_o loathe_v whereas_o before_o he_o take_v delight_n in_o eat_v it_o the_o very_a same_o thing_n may_v be_v see_v in_o beast_n for_o although_o they_o have_v no_o reason_n nor_o it_o may_v be_v any_o thought_n all_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o kernel_n which_o excite_v passion_n in_o we_o yet_o be_v in_o they_o and_o serve_v to_o foment_n and_o fortify_v not_o as_o in_o we_o the_o passion_n but_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o nerve_n andmuscle_n their_o concomitant_n so_o when_o a_o dog_n see_v a_o partridge_n he_o be_v natural_o incline_v to_o run_v to_o it_o and_o when_o he_o hear_v a_o piece_n go_v off_o this_o noise_n incite_v

discharge_v piece_n make_v they_o run_v to_o it_o now_o these_o thing_n be_v profitable_a to_o know_v to_o encourage_v every_o one_o to_o study_v the_o regulation_n of_o his_o passion_n for_o since_o with_o a_o little_a be_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o brain_n in_o beast_n who_o be_v void_a of_o reason_n may_v be_v alter_v it_o be_v evident_a they_o may_v more_o easy_o in_o man_n and_o that_o even_o those_o who_o have_v the_o weak_a soul_n may_v acquire_v a_o most_o absolute_a empire_n over_o all_o their_o passion_n if_o art_n and_o industry_n be_v use_v to_o manage_v and_o govern_v they_o the_o passion_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o number_n and_o order_n of_o the_o passion_n and_o explication_n of_o the_o six_o chief_a or_o primitive_a the_o 51th_o article_n what_o be_v the_o first_o cause_n of_o the_o passion_n it_o be_v know_v by_o what_o have_v former_o be_v say_v that_o the_o utmost_a and_o near_a cause_n of_o the_o passion_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v nothing_o

another_o it_o be_v necessary_a therefore_o to_o seek_v after_o their_o original_n and_o examine_v their_o first_o cause_n now_o although_o they_o may_v sometime_o be_v cause_v by_o the_o action_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o determine_v to_o conceive_v such_o or_o such_o object_n as_o also_o by_o the_o mere_a temper_n of_o the_o body_n or_o by_o the_o impression_n accidental_o find_v in_o the_o

because_o they_o may_v several_a way_n hurt_v sore_o profit_v we_o or_o else_o in_o general_a be_v important_a to_o we_o and_o that_o the_o use_n of_o all_o the_o passion_n consist_v only_o in_o
