that_o love_v perfect_o say_v plato_n by_o the_o mouth_n of_o phedro_n will_v rather_o abandon_v himself_o to_o death_n then_o expose_v that_o he_o love_v to_o danger_n and_o there_o be_v no_o man_n

essence_n of_o love_n do_v proper_o consist_v the_o which_o we_o may_v define_v in_o this_o manner_n love_n be_v a_o wellwishing_a which_o we_o testify_v with_o all_o our_o power_n to_o those_o to_o who_o we_o have_v a_o inclination_n procure_v they_o for_o their_o own_o sake_n all_o the_o good_a we_o think_v may_v give_v they_o content_a according_a to_o which_o he_o be_v a_o friend_n that_o

principal_a head_n the_o first_o be_v that_o friend_n rejoice_v &_o grieve_v for_o the_o same_o thing_n wherefore_o homer_n describe_v agamemnon_n affliction_n when_o as_o he_o be_v force_v to_o sacrifice_v his_o daughter_n jyhigenia_n he_o represent_v all_o his_o friend_n accompany_v he_o to_o this_o sacrifice_n with_o mournful_a countenance_n &_o full_a of_o sorrow_n and_o at_o rome_n when_o as_o any_o one_o be_v accuse_v and_o bring_v in_o question_n for_o his_o life_n all_o his_o friend_n change_v their_o robe_n with_o he_o to_o show_v that_o they_o do_v participate_v with_o his_o affliction_n the_o reason_n be_v for_o that_o sorrow_n and_o joy_n be_v the_o mark_n of_o our_o affection_n and_o of_o that_o we_o have_v in_o the_o soul_n which_o rejoice_v or_o afflict_v itself_o as_o the_o object_n which_o present_v themselves_o be_v please_a
his_o desire_n and_o intention_n but_o whence_o come_v the_o power_n which_o this_o passion_n have_v thus_o to_o unite_v the_o subject_n where_o it_o work_v this_o can_v well_o be_v explicate_v without_o the_o aid_n of_o philosophy_n first_o of_o all_o love_n say_v the_o philosopher_n be_v a_o desire_n to_o enjoy_v the_o good_a we_o propound_v unto_o ourselves_o as_o proper_a for_o our_o content_n and_o capable_a to_o make_v we_o in_o some_o sort_n better_o by_o the_o fruition_n but_o this_o enjoy_n &_o participation_n can_v be_v effect_v but_o by_o unite_n the_o object_n to_o our_o affection_n which_o be_v the_o same_o good_a we_o propound_v unto_o ourselves_o wherefore_o it_o be_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o love_n that_o it_o produce_v this_o union_n hence_o it_o proceed_v that_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o party_n belove_v be_v so_o dear_a and_o precious_a unto_o we_o and_o that_o we_o feel_v ourselves_o fill_v with_o content_n when_o as_o we_o may_v enjoy_v he_o to_o entertain_v our_o thought_n to_o taste_v the_o sweetness_n of_o his_o company_n and_o to_o discover_v our_o passion_n whereas_o his_o absence_n and_o separation_n give_v we_o a_o thousand_o torment_n and_o afflict_v we_o with_o a_o thousand_o sorrow_n and_o discontent_n which_o we_o will_v redeem_v with_o our_o life_n wherefore_o when_o as_o death_n do_v take_v violent_o from_o we_o those_o who_o we_o love_v dear_o and_o by_o this_o mean_n have_v condemn_v we_o as_o it_o be_v to_o a_o perpetual_a absence_n we_o strive_v to_o ease_v our_o grief_n and_o sweeten_v our_o loss_n by_o transport_v ourselves_o often_o to_o the_o place_n where_o we_o be_v accustom_v to_o see_v they_o represent_v unto_o ourselves_o their_o portract_n and_o image_n read_v over_o their_o letter_n &_o still_o handle_v all_o the_o gauge_n and_o monument_n they_o leave_v we_o of_o their_o affection_n sometime_o the_o same_o gauge_n and_o the_o same_o momument_n of_o their_o affection_n displease_v we_o and_o we_o do_v so_o abhor_v they_o as_o we_o can_v endure_v to_o see_v they_o nor_o handle_v they_o but_o this_o grow_v from_o the_o grief_n of_o their_o absence_n for_o that_o we_o then_o represent_v they_o as_o infallible_a sign_n of_o our_o loss_n which_o they_o figure_n unto_o we_o as_o irreparable_a by_o reason_n whereof_o their_o picture_n fill_v we_o with_o bitterness_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o as_o the_o same_o thing_n seem_v unto_o we_o to_o supply_v the_o presence_n we_o love_v they_o dear_o and_o can_v be_v weary_a to_o entertain_v ourselves_o with_o those_o thought_n and_o if_o amid_o all_o this_o we_o can_v invent_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v serve_v to_o preserve_v the_o memory_n more_o lively_a in_o our_o soul_n we_o embrace_v the_o invention_n and_o be_v wonderful_o please_v with_o this_o art_n wherein_o doubtless_o artimesia_n queen_n of_o caria_n show_v a_o act_n of_o wonderful_a passion_n towards_o her_o husband_n mausolus_n for_o death_n have_v take_v he_o away_o this_o desolate_a princess_n not_o know_v how_o to_o pull_v the_o thorn_n of_o her_o sorrow_n out_o ofher_o soul_n she_o cause_v his_o body_n to_o be_v reduce_v to_o ash_n and_o mingle_v they_o in_o her_o drink_n mean_v to_o make_v her_o body_n a_o live_a tomb_n whereas_o the_o relic_n of_o her_o dear_a husband_n may_v rest_v from_o who_o she_o can_v not_o endure_v to_o live_v separate_v the_o most_o subtle_a philosopher_n give_v a_o second_o reason_n of_o this_o union_n which_o arise_v from_o love._n love_n say_v they_o have_v her_o feat_n in_o the_o will_v they_o do_v not_o consider_v it_o as_o a_o passion_n only_o which_o rise_v in_o the_o sense_n but_o also_o as_o a_o quality_n which_o in_o the_o end_n become_v spiritual_a but_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o understanding_n and_o will_n the_o understanding_n go_v not_o out_o of_o itself_o to_o join_v with_o his_o object_n but_o rather_o he_o draw_v the_o object_n unto_o he_o whereof_o the_o image_n be_v frame_v to_o produce_v his_o action_n like_v unto_o a_o seal_n which_o print_v its_o form_n in_o the_o wax_n but_o the_o will_n be_v touch_v with_o the_o love_n of_o her_o object_n suffer_v itself_o to_o be_v draw_v to_o his_o image_n and_o go_v out_o of_o itself_o unite_v itself_o unto_o he_o to_o take_v his_o form_n like_v unto_o the_o wax_n which_o receive_v impression_n of_o the_o seal_n so_o as_o by_o this_o reason_n love_n be_v think_v to_o cause_v the_o union_n of_o he_o that_o love_v with_o the_o party_n belove_v for_o that_o his_o will_n ravish_v by_o his_o love_n have_v no_o other_o passion_n but_o to_o see_v herself_o unite_v unto_o she_o but_o these_o meditation_n be_v too_o nice_a for_o our_o subject_n the_o second_o effect_n they_o attribute_v to_o love_n and_o which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o branch_n and_o bud_n of_o the_o first_o be_v that_o it_o cause_v the_o soul_n of_o he_o that_o love_v to_o be_v more_o where_o it_o love_v than_o where_o it_o live_v and_o that_o reciprocal_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o party_n belove_v be_v more_o with_o the_o lover_n then_o with_o his_o own_o body_n the_o reason_n be_v for_o that_o the_o soul_n of_o such_o as_o love_v be_v perpetual_o attentive_a to_o contemplate_v the_o image_n of_o that_o they_o love_v and_o have_v no_o other_o think_n nor_o great_a pleasure_n then_o that_o they_o receive_v by_o this_o sweet_a entertainment_n by_o reason_n whereof_o the_o soul_n make_v show_n of_o a_o more_o exact_a presence_n where_o it_o do_v most_o frequent_o work_v it_o follow_v thereby_o that_o it_o be_v more_o with_o the_o party_n belove_v then_o in_o its_o own_o body_n but_o let_v we_o hear_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o platonician_o upon_o this_o point_n the_o soul_n say_v they_o which_o be_v touch_v to_o the_o quick_a with_o love_n die_v in_o i●s_n own_o body_n find_v life_n in_o that_o it_o love_v and_o when_o this_o love_n be_v reciprocal_a it_o die_v but_o once_o whereas_o it_o revive_v twice_o for_o he_o that_o love_v die_v true_o when_o as_o love_n make_v he_o neglect_v and_o forget_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o life_n to_o think_v whole_o upon_o the_o party_n belove_v but_o he_o recover_v his_o life_n double_o when_o as_o he_o see_v himself_o embrace_v and_o entertain_v by_o the_o party_n belove_v and_o that_o he_o find_v in_o his_o arm_n his_o dear_a image_n which_o he_o preserve_v more_o careful_o than_o his_o own_o life_n who_o will_v not_o then_o say_v they_o hold_v this_o death_n happy_a which_o be_v recompense_v by_o two_o such_o sweet_a life_n but_o this_o discourse_n of_o the_o platonician_o presuppose_v a_o equal_a correspondency_n in_o love_n without_o the_o which_o they_o maintain_v that_o this_o passion_n be_v full_a of_o despair_n &_o leave_v nothing_o in_o our_o soul_n but_o importune_a and_o troublesome_a thorn_n wherefore_o the_o ancient_n say_v that_o to_o make_v love_n grow_v she_o have_v need_n of_o a_o brother_n but_o we_o have_v treat_v sufficient_o of_o this_o subject_n they_o attribute_v other_o effect_n to_o love_n that_o be_v to_o say_v languish_n ecstasy_n and_o amazement_n but_o that_o love_n must_v be_v very_o violent_a which_o do_v produce_v they_o and_o moreover_o we_o may_v consider_v these_o ecstasy_n and_o ravish●ments_n which_o may_v happen_v in_o a_o violent_a love_n after_o two_o sort_n first_o we_o may_v observe_v they_o as_o a_o true_a alienation_n of_o the_o sense_n which_o arise_v for_o that_o the_o spirit_n and_o will_n of_o he_o that_o love_v be_v whole_o employ_v in_o the_o contemplation_n and_o enjoy_n of_o the_o thing_n belove_v suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v so_o transport_v with_o this_o content_n as_o the_o soul_n remain_v as_o it_o be_v quench_v and_o without_o motion_n the_o which_o may_v also_o proceed_v from_o a_o more_o powerful_a cause_n that_o be_v to_o say_v either_o from_o god_n or_o from_o evil_a spirit_n which_o sometime_o stir_v up_o these_o ravishment_n and_o extraordinary_a ecstasy_n second_o we_o may_v consider_v these_o ecstasy_n &_o ravishment_n as_o a_o kind_n of_o madness_n which_o transport_v they_o that_o love_n and_o make_v they_o to_o commit_v many_o folly_n wherefore_o a_o ancient_n say_v that_o jupiter_n himself_o can_v not_o be_v wise_a and_o love_n at_o one_o instant_n these_o ecstasy_n and_o ravishment_n produce_v sometime_o prodigious_a effect_n in_o their_o soul_n that_o be_v afflict_v with_o this_o passion_n for_o that_o his_o soul_n that_o love_v entire_o be_v perpetual_o employ_v in_o the_o contemplation_n of_o the_o party_n belove_v and_o have_v no_o other_o thought_n but_o of_o his_o merit_n the_o heat_n abandon_v the_o part_n and_o retire_v into_o the_o brain_n leave_v the_o whole_a body_n in_o great_a

thing_n that_o have_v any_o corresponcy_n with_o he_o so_o as_o respect_v he_o who_o he_o love_v as_o another_o himself_o he_o can_v but_o be_v inflame_v with_o this_o consideration_n the_o platonician_o have_v another_o reason_n the_o which_o in_o my_o opinion_n concurre_v with_o this_o love_n say_v they_o make_v a_o impression_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o he_o that_o love_v of_o the_o
