for_o we_o see_v that_o natural_o they_o be_v all_o good_a and_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o avoid_v only_o the_o ill_a use_n of_o they_o or_o their_o excess_n for_o which_o the_o remedy_n i_o have_v lay_v down_o may_v suffice_v if_o every_o man_n be_v careful_a enough_o to_o practice_v they_o but_o because_o i_o have_v put_v premeditation_n and_o industry_n among_o these_o remedy_n whereby_o the_o defect_n of_o nature_n may_v be_v correct_v by_o use_v to_o separate_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o blood_n &_o spirit_n in_o one_o self_n from_o the_o thought_n wherewith_o they_o use_v to_o be_v

follow_v the_o mere_a impression_n in_o the_o brain_n and_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o organ_n although_o the_o soul_n be_v no_o way_n contributory_a that_o no_o humane_a wisdom_n be_v able_a to_o resist_v they_o when_o one_o be_v not_o enough_o prepare_v so_o many_o can_v refrain_v from_o laugh_v when_o they_o be_v tickle_v though_o they_o take_v no_o delight_n in_o it_o for_o the_o

by_o a_o object_n of_o any_o of_o these_o passion_n but_o what_o may_v be_v do_v on_o such_o a_o occasion_n and_o what_o i_o think_v to_o lay_v down_o here_o as_o the_o most_o general_a remedy_n and_o the_o easy_a to_o he_o practise_v against_o all_o exorbitance_n of_o the_o passion_n be_v that_o when_o a_o man_n perceive_v his_o blood_n thus_o move_v he_o ought_v to_o be_v wary_a and_o remember_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v present_v to_o our_o imagination_n tend_v to_o the_o delusion_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o make_v reason_n that_o serve_v to_o persuade_v the_o object_n of_o passion_n appear_v far_o strong_a than_o they_o be_v and_o those_o which_o serve_v to_o dissuade_v far_o weak_a and_o when_o passion_n persuade_v thing_n the_o execution_n whereof_o admit_v of_o some_o delay_n he_o must_v abstain_v from_o give_v his_o judgement_n thereon_o immediate_o and_o divert_v himself_o from_o it_o to_o other_o thought_n until_o time_n and_o rest_n have_v whole_o allay_v the_o emotion_n in_o the_o blood_n and_o last_o when_o it_o incite_v to_o action_n concern_v which_o resolution_n be_v instant_o to_o be_v take_v the_o will_n must_v peculiar_o dedicate_v itself_o to_o consider_v and_o follow_v the_o reason_n repugnant_a to_o those_o which_o the_o passion_n represent_v although_o they_o appear_v less_o weighty_a as_o when_o a_o man_n be_v sudden_o assault_v by_o a_o enemy_n occasion_n do_v not_o give_v he_o leave_v to_o waste_v any_o time_n in_o debate_n but_o what_o it_o seem_v those_o who_o be_v accustom_v to_o make_v a_o reflection_n on_o their_o own_o action_n may_v do_v that_o be_v when_o they_o feel_v themselves_o strike_v with_o a_o affright_n they_o will_v endeavour_v to_o divert_v their_o thought_n from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o danger_n by_o represent_v to_o themselves_o the_o reason_n wherefore_o there_o be_v more_o safety_n and_o honour_n in_o resistance_n than_o flight_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o they_o feel_v the_o desire_n of_o revenge_n and_o wrath_n incite_v they_o to_o rush_v inconsiderat_o on_o those_o who_o beset_v they_o they_o shall_v call_v to_o mind_n that_o it_o be_v indiscretion_n to_o destroy_v themselves_o when_o they_o may_v be_v save_v without_o dishonour_n and_o if_o there_o be_v too_o much_o odds_o it_o be_v better_a to_o make_v a_o handsome_a retreat_n or_o take_v quarter_n than_o savage_o to_o expose_v themselves_o to_o a_o certain_a death_n the_o 212_o article_n that_o from_o they_o alone_o all_o the_o good_a and_o evil_n of_o this_o life_n depend_v now_o the_o soul_n may_v have_v her_o delight_n distinct_o by_o herself_o but_o for_o those_o which_o be_v common_a to_o she_o with_o the_o body_n they_o absolute_o depend_v on_o the_o passion_n so_o that_o that_o those_o man_n who_o they_o move_v most_o may_v be_v apt_a to_o taste_v most_o sweetness_n in_o this_o life_n it_o be_v true_a they_o may_v also_o find_v the_o most_o bitterness_n when_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v how_o to_o employ_v they_o well_o and_o fortune_n be_v adverse_a to_o they_o but_o wisdom_n be_v herein_o especial_o requisite_a that_o it_o teach_v we_o so_o to_o make_v ourselves_o master_n of_o they_o and_o manage_v they_o with_o so_o much_o dexterity_n that_o the_o evil_n they_o cause_n may_v be_v easy_o endure_v and_o we_o may_v even_o extract_v joy_n from_o they_o all_o the_o end_n

fear_n which_o cause_v the_o soul_n to_o waver_v between_o several_a action_n that_o she_o may_v do_v be_v the_o cause_n she_o can_v execute_v any_o and_o thereby_o she_o have_v time_n to_o choose_v

which_o be_v require_v to_o act_n it_o be_v very_o evil_a now_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o fear_n though_o it_o may_v so_o fall_v out_o when_o a_o man_n have_v choice_n of_o many_o thing_n who_o goodness_n be_v equal_o apparent_a that_o he_o may_v be_v at_o a_o stand_n and_o irresolute_a and_o yet_o not_o be_v afraid_a for_o this_o sort_n of_o irresolution_n come_v only_o from_o the_o

to_o take_v or_o leave_v yet_o it_o seize_v on_o they_o and_o cause_v they_o unprofitable_o to_o stop_v there_o and_o search_v after_o other_o and_o than_o it_o be_v a_o excess_n of_o irresolution_n which_o proceed_v from_o too_o great_a a_o desire_n to_o do_v well_o and_o a_o imbecility_n in_o the_o understanding_n which_o have_v no_o clear_a and_o distinct_a notion_n have_v only_o a_o great_a
