propriety_n whereof_o one_o be_v that_o it_o have_v not_o only_o a_o internal_a cause_n viz._n such_o a_o disposition_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o body_n that_o desire_n and_o hope_n may_v have_v great_a power_n in_o impel_v the_o blood_n in_o abundance_n to_o the_o heart_n than_o fear_v or_o despair_n can_v have_v in_o hinder_v that_o motion_n but_o also_o a_o external_a cause_n namely_o the_o example_n of_o other_o who_o have_v be_v prosperous_a in_o the_o like_a attempt_n which_o create_v a_o belief_n in_o we_o that_o we_o also_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o conquer_v the_o difficulty_n occur_v afwell_n as_o those_o other_o have_v do_v the_o other_o this_o that_o emulation_n be_v ever_o accompany_v with_o secret_a grief_n which_o arise_v from_o see_v ourselves_o exceed_v or_o excel_v by_o our_o concurrent_n but_o simple_a animosity_n want_v both_o example_n for_o incitement_n and_o grief_n for_o alloy_n but_o both_o these_o passion_n equaly_a depend_v upon_o hope_n of_o good_a success_n for_o though_o the_o object_n of_o audacity_n be_v difficulty_n yet_o to_o animate_v we_o to_o contend_v brave_o with_o that_o difficulty_n despair_n we_o must_v be_v possess_v with_o a_o strong_a hope_n or_o certain_a belief_n that_o we_o shall_v at_o length_n attain_v our_o end_n yet_o this_o end_n be_v not_o the_o same_o thing_n with_o that_o object_n for_o there_o can_v be_v both_o certitude_n and_o despair_n of_o the_o same_o thing_n at_o the_o same_o time_n so_o when_o the_o roman_a decii_n rush_v into_o the_o thick_a troop_n of_o their_o enemy_n and_o run_v to_o certain_a death_n the_o object_n of_o their_o dare_a be_v the_o difficulty_n of_o conserve_n their_o life_n in_o that_o action_n for_o which_o difficulty_n they_o have_v nothing_o but_o desperation_n be_v resolve_v certain_o to_o die_v but_o their_o end_n be_v either_o by_o their_o example_n to_o inspire_v courage_n into_o the_o roman_a army_n and_o by_o they_o to_o obtain_v the_o victory_n they_o hope_v or_o to_o acquire_v posthume_n glory_n whereof_o they_o be_v certain_a if_o therefore_o even_o in_o this_o action_n that_o be_v in_o itself_o desperate_a courage_n be_v ground_v upon_o hope_n we_o may_v well_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v always_o so_o doubt_v from_o the_o reason_n we_o have_v allege_v of_o hope_n and_o fear_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o we_o may_v have_v those_o contrary_a passion_n excite_v in_o we_o though_o the_o event_n of_o the_o thing_n expect_v no_o way_n depend_v upon_o ourselves_o but_o when_o we_o proceed_v to_o consider_v the_o event_n as_o altogether_o or_o for_o the_o most_o part_n depend_v upon_o our_o own_o counsel_n and_o perceive_v a_o difficulty_n to_o arise_v either_o in_o our_o election_n or_o execution_n of_o the_o mean_n whereby_o to_o obtain_v our_o end_n then_o there_o immediate_o follow_v a_o doubt_v or_o fluctuation_n of_o the_o mind_n whereby_o we_o be_v dispose_v to_o deliberate_v and_o consult_v and_o which_o be_v indeed_o a_o species_n of_o fear_n and_o this_o waver_a while_o it_o retain_v the_o soul_n as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o doubtful_a balance_n betwixt_o two_o action_n which_o be_v offer_v to_o her_o election_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o she_o perform_v neither_o but_o take_v time_n to_o consider_v before_o she_o determine_v which_o to_o do_v for_o fear_n of_o err_v in_o her_o choice_n which_o fear_n if_o moderate_a and_o under_o the_o command_n of_o prudence_n be_v always_o of_o good_a use_n in_o that_o it_o serve_v to_o prevent_v temerity_n or_o rashness_n but_o in_o some_o over-cautious_a person_n it_o be_v so_o vehement_a that_o though_o but_o one_o thing_n occur_v to_o be_v do_v or_o omit_v by_o they_o it_o hold_v they_o too_o long_o upon_o the_o rack_n of_o suspense_n and_o hinder_v they_o from_o proceed_v to_o action_n and_o in_o this_o case_n the_o passion_n be_v excess_n of_o doubt_v arise_v from_o too_o ardent_a desire_n of_o good_a success_n and_o weakness_n of_o understanding_n which_o have_v indeed_o many_o confuse_a notion_n but_o none_o perspicuous_a and_o distinct_a concern_v the_o mean_n to_o effect_v its_o design_n if_o during_o this_o irresolution_n acquiescence_n we_o have_v determine_v the_o liberty_n of_o our_o choice_n and_o fix_v upon_o some_o one_o action_n in_o order_n to_o our_o end_n and_o the_o event_n be_v not_o answerable_a to_o our_o expectation_n

regret_n which_o yet_o do_v not_o as_o the_o precedent_a passion_n respect_v the_o future_a but_o present_a or_o past_a time_n this_o remorse_n of_o conscience_n be_v no_o other_o but_o a_o kind_n of_o sorrow_n arise_v from_o a_o scruple_n interpose_v whether_o what_o we_o be_v do_v or_o have_v do_v be_v good_a or_o not_o and_o it_o necessary_o presuppose_v dubitation_n for_o if_o we_o be_v

be_v a_o devotion_n also_o to_o one_o prince_n or_o country_n or_o city_n or_o to_o any_o private_a person_n who_o we_o esteem_v above_o ourselves_o and_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o these_o three_o sort_n of_o love_n be_v chief_o manifest_a from_o their_o divers_a effect_n for_o when_o in_o each_o of_o they_o the_o person_n love_v consider_v himself_o as_o join_v and_o unite_v to_o the_o thing_n

simple_a benevolence_n the_o lover_n always_o prefer_v himself_o to_o the_o thing_n love_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_a in_o devotion_n he_o always_o prefer_v the_o thing_n love_v so_o far_o above_o

of_o love_n as_o they_o be_v various_a object_n to_o excite_v it_o see_v there_o be_v many_o passion_n very_o different_a among_o themselves_o and_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o several_a object_n which_o yet_o agree_v in_o this_o that_o they_o all_o participate_v of_o love_n for_o example_n the_o passion_n by_o which_o the_o ambitious_a be_v carry_v on_o to_o glory_n the_o avaricious_a to_o

differ_v very_o much_o among_o themselves_o and_o yet_o so_o far_o resemble_v each_o other_o that_o they_o all_o participate_v of_o love_n but_o the_o love_n of_o the_o first_o four_o aim_v at_o nothing_o but_o the_o possession_n of_o their_o peculiar_a object_n nor_o have_v they_o indeed_o any_o thing_n of_o love_n for_o those_o object_n but_o only_o desire_v mix_v with_o some_o other_o special_a passion_n whereas_o the_o love_n of_o a_o parent_n to_o his_o child_n be_v so_o pure_a that_o he_o desire_v to_o obtain_v nothing_o at_o all_o from_o they_o nor_o to_o possess_v they_o in_o any_o other_o manner_n than_o he_o do_v already_o or_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o near_a conjunction_n with_o himself_o but_o consider_v they_o as_o part_n of_o himself_o seek_v their_o good_a as_o his_o own_o yea_o with_o great_a care_n than_o his_o own_o as_o not_o fear_v to_o purchase_v their_o felicity_n at_o the_o rate_n of_o his_o own_o undo_n and_o the_o love_n of_o a_o honest_a man_n to_o his_o friend_n be_v also_o of_o the_o same_o perfection_n but_o the_o love_n of_o a_o man_n to_o his_o mistress_n common_o distinguish_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o erotic_a passion_n be_v always_o mix_v with_o desire_n of_o fruition_n love_n and_o as_o for_o hatred_n though_o that_o be_v direct_o oppose_v to_o love_n yet_o can_v it_o be_v distinguish_v into_o as_o many_o different_a

she_o always_o look_v forward_o to_o the_o time_n to_o come_v it_o it_o may_v be_v collect_v also_o that_o though_o desire_n can_v be_v without_o love_n yet_o love_n may_v be_v without_o desire_n of_o
