this_o sensual_a love._n and_o according_o plato_n in_o his_o symposion_n distinguish_v between_o his_o two_o cupid_n intellectual_a and_o sensual_a love_n style_v the_o latter_a by_o the_o name_n

sensible_a beauty_n and_o that_o be_v that_o this_o be_v a_o passion_n peculiar_a to_o man._n brutus_n be_v below_o it_o and_o angel_n be_v above_o it_o for_o man_n be_v a_o middle_a sort_n of_o

all_o love_n be_v self-love_n 1_o have_v dispatch_v the_o first_o great_a branch_n of_o love_n love_n of_o concupiscence_n or_o desire_n with_o the_o several_a kind_n of_o it_o i_o come_v now_o to_o consider_v the_o second_o viz._n love_n of_o benevolence_n by_o this_o i_o understand_v a_o desire_v or_o will_v of_o good_a to_o some_o person_n or_o be_v that_o be_v capable_a of_o it_o and_o herein_o it_o be_v difference_v from_o love_n of_o concupiscence_n the_o idea_n of_o love_n of_o concupiscence_n be_v a_o simple_a tendency_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o good_a not_o at_o all_o consider_v whether_o it_o will_v it_o to_o any_o person_n or_o be_v or_o no._n but_o the_o idea_n of_o benevolence_n be_v a_o desire_v or_o will_v this_o good_a to_o some_o be_v or_o other_o as_o far_o as_o it_o be_v asleep_o desire_v or_o will_v of_o good_a it_o agree_v with_o love_n of_o concupiscence_n but_o it_o be_v distinguish_v from_o it_o in_o that_o it_o wish_v well_o too_o 2_o for_o as_o in_o physical_a motion_n a_o body_n may_v be_v consider_v either_o as_o simple_o move_v towards_o another_o or_o as_o move_v this_o other_o to_o some_o certain_a body_n so_o in_o love_n which_o be_v a_o moral_a motion_n the_o soul_n may_v be_v consider_v either_o as_o simple_o desire_v or_o will_v good_a which_o be_v concupiscence_n or_o as_o desire_v or_o will_v it_o to_o some_o capable_a be_v and_o this_o be_v that_o species_n of_o love_n which_o we_o call_v benevolence_n 3_o and_o i_o further_o meditate_v that_o as_o in_o motion_n the_o body_n that_o move_v another_o may_v either_o move_v it_o towards_o itself_o as_o in_o circular_a motion_n or_o towards_o some_o other_o body_n as_o in_o direct_a motion_n so_o in_o the_o love_n of_o benevolence_n this_o wish_v well_o to_o may_v either_o be_v a_o willing_a of_o good_a to_o one_o self_n or_o to_o some_o other_o be_v if_o to_o one_o self_n then_o it_o be_v that_o special_a sort_n of_o benevolence_n which_o we_o call_v self-love_n if_o to_o another_o then_o it_o be_v what_o we_o call_v charity_n 4_o then_o again_o as_o to_o charity_n this_o may_v be_v consider_v either_o as_o extend_v to_o all_o man_n in_o common_a ground_v upon_o one_o common_a consideration_n viz._n similitude_n of_o nature_n and_o a_o capacity_n of_o be_v benefit_v which_o be_v common_a charity_n or_o as_o confine_v to_o one_o or_o two_o and_o as_o mutual_a and_o as_o mutual_o know_v and_o withal_o as_o in_o a_o special_a degree_n of_o intenseness_n and_o application_n and_o then_o it_o be_v friendship_n which_o differ_v not_o from_o common_a charity_n but_o as_o it_o be_v qualify_v by_o the_o precede_a modification_n 5_o but_o this_o our_o division_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o be_v close_v up_o again_o by_o some_o who_o contract_v all_o these_o kind_n of_o benevolence_n into_o one_o by_o tell_v we_o that_o all_o love_n be_v self-love_n thus_o the_o epicurean_o of_o old_a who_o by_o this_o plea_n think_v to_o evade_v the_o necessity_n of_o own_v a_o providence_n for_o when_o you_o argue_v from_o the_o perfection_n of_o god_n that_o the_o world_n be_v care_v for_o and_o govern_v by_o he_o no_o say_v they_o the_o quite_o contrary_a follow_v for_o all_o love_n be_v self-love_n and_o proceed_v from_o indigency_n if_o therefore_o god_n be_v such_o a_o full_a and_o perfect_a be_v as_o you_o suppose_v he_o can_v be_v concern_v for_o any_o thing_n abroad_o as_o have_v no_o self-interest_n to_o serve_v 6_o and_o indeed_o the_o conclusion_n will_v be_v right_a be_v the_o principle_n so_o for_o if_o all_o benevolence_n do_v proceed_v from_o indigence_n it_o will_v certain_o follow_v that_o the_o more_o perfect_a and_o self-sufficient_a any_o be_v be_v the_o less_o he_o must_v needs_o regard_v the_o good_a of_o other_o and_o consequent_o a_o be_v that_o be_v absolute_o perfect_a must_v necessary_o be_v utter_o void_a of_o all_o benevolence_n or_o concern_v for_o another_o welfare_n 7_o but_o to_o hear_v a_o epicurean_a maintain_v this_o principle_n be_v no_o wonder_n even_o plato_n himself_o in_o some_o place_n seem_v to_o look_v favourable_o towards_o it_o particular_o in_o his_o lysis_n where_o purposely_o treat_v of_o friendship_n he_o conclude_v towards_o the_o end_n of_o the_o dialogue_n that_o friendship_n arise_v from_o indigence_n necessity_n and_o privation_n the_o same_o he_o

the_o cloud_n of_o the_o school_n and_o therefore_o notwithstanding_o what_o you_o have_v answer_v it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o soul_n may_v understand_v notional_o and_o actual_o better_a than_o she_o practise_v and_o not_o follow_v the_o dictate_v of_o her_o understanding_n but_o of_o her_o animal_n appetite_n to_o my_o objection_n against_o your_o hypothesis_n that_o thence_o every_o man_n will_v be_v sincere_a nor_o any_o sin_n against_o knowledge_n you_o answer_v that_o a_o sinner_n may_v be_v say_v to_o sin_v both_o know_o and_o ignorant_o he_o may_v know_v in_o theory_n or_o habitual_a judgement_n such_o a_o fact_n be_v a_o sin_n and_o yet_o be_v ignorant_a by_o not_o actual_o attend_v to_o his_o habitual_a knowledge_n or_o by_o judge_v the_o sin_n upon_o the_o whole_a

have_v a_o habitual_a knowledge_n that_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v a_o sin_n shall_v not_o remember_v it_o be_v so_o when_o he_o meet_v with_o it_o or_o be_v enter_v upon_o it_o it_o be_v as_o if_o
