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

which_o homer_n say_v that_o the_o worthy_n be_v inspire_v with_o a_o divine_a force_n and_o fury_n be_v more_o true_o verify_v in_o those_o that_o love_n who_o love_n have_v often_o inspire_v with_o a_o divine_a fury_n which_o have_v make_v they_o to_o contemn_v death_n to_o preserve_v the_o life_n of_o those_o they_o have_v love_v the_o last_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o love_n be_v that_o we_o wish_v unto_o our_o friend_n the_o thing_n which_o we_o think_v true_o be_v good_a for_o they_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o we_o desire_v for_o they_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v

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

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

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 image_n and_o form_n of_o the_o thing_n belove_v but_o man_n love_v not_o only_o his_o be_v and_o his_o true_a and_o real_a form_n but_o also_o his_o imaginary_a form_n as_o appear_v by_o picture_n and_o looking-glass_n in_o which_o we_o behold_v with_o content_a our_o portraict_n &_o form_n wherefore_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a passion_n for_o the_o thing_n belove_v in_o who_o soul_n he_o do_v contemplate_v his_o form_n which_o love_n have_v engrave_v after_o this_o manner_n resemblance_n breed_v love_n and_o unite_v the_o affection_n of_o man_n the_o truth_n hereof_o appear_v for_o that_o man_n do_v common_o love_v those_o that_o be_v ally_v unto_o they_o in_o nearness_n of_o blood_n so_o as_o kinsman_n do_v common_o love_v one_o another_o or_o by_o some_o conformity_n of_o humour_n and_o complexion_n which_o make_v melancholy_a man_n love_v the_o company_n of_o their_o like_a and_o jovial_a spirit_n delight_v in_o the_o company_n of_o they_o that_o be_v pleasant_a or_o by_o some_o commerce_n of_o profession_n which_o make_v philosopher_n to_o love_v philosopher_n and_o painter_n delight_v in_o painter_n or_o some_o equality_n of_o age_n which_o make_v young_a man_n delight_v in_o the_o company_n of_o youth_n and_o old_a man_n to_o converse_v with_o they_o that_o be_v grave_a or_o some_o coherence_n of_o manner_n which_o make_v good_a man_n love_v the_o virtuous_a and_o the_o wicked_a seek_v after_o such_o as_o be_v wicked_o affect_v but_o notwithstanding_o that_o which_o we_o have_v say_v that_o common_o man_n of_o one_o profession_n love_v one_o another_o must_v be_v understand_v according_a to_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o thing_n for_o by_o occasion_n and_o accident_n this_o comformity_n of_o profession_n may_v engender_v hatred_n and_o

tradesman_n have_v get_v some_o reputation_n do_v hinder_v the_o profit_n of_o his_o companion_n than_o jealousy_n rise_v among_o they_o according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o a_o ancient_n the_o potter_n envy_v the_o potter_n the_o philosopher_n give_v a_o excellent_a reason_n hereof_o he_o that_o love_v say_v they_o love_v himself_o more_o dear_o than_o all_o other_o thing_n beside_o for_o that_o he_o be_v unite_v to_o himself_o by_o essence_n and_o nature_n whereas_o he_o be_v not_o conjoin_v to_o he_o that_o he_o love_v but_o by_o some_o accidental_a and_o external_a form_n and_o therefore_o if_o this_o conformity_n cross_v his_o private_a good_a and_o be_v prejudicial_a unto_o he_o he_o find_v himself_o more_o strict_o tie_v unto_o himself_o then_o to_o his_o like_a wherefore_o see_v his_o loss_n concur_v with_o his_o passion_n he_o who_o he_o love_v be_v a_o obstacle_n to_o his_o desire_n he_o grow_v odious_a unto_o he_o as_o opposite_a to_o his_o good_a man_n do_v also_o love_v

by_o two_o they_o also_o love_v those_o with_o who_o they_o have_v any_o familiarity_n which_o be_v not_o scrupulous_a have_v free_a liberty_n without_o apprehension_n of_o disdain_n to_o do_v and_o

of_o their_o love_n of_o their_o pursuite_n and_o of_o their_o other_o passion_n but_o we_o must_v remember_v that_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n which_o be_v dishonest_a of_o themselves_o the_o which_o a_o good_a man_n may_v neither_o do_v or_o speak_v before_o the_o world_n or_o before_o his_o friend_n but_o there_o be_v other_o which_o be_v shameful_a only_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o
