of_o sudden_a death_n these_o two_o contrary_a motion_n therefore_o of_o contraction_n and_o expansion_n i_o suppose_v to_o be_v the_o two_o general_a one_o to_o which_o all_o the_o various_a posture_n of_o the_o sensitive_a soul_n when_o she_o be_v perturb_v may_v be_v commodious_o refer_v it_o seem_v to_o i_o consider_v she_o to_o be_v exact_o like_o a_o flame_n and_o obnoxious_a to_o the_o like_a accidental_a mutation_n that_o she_o be_v not_o natural_o capable_a of_o other_o beside_o these_o and_o that_o how_o great_a soever_o the_o variety_n of_o such_o her_o mutation_n may_v be_v in_o the_o vast_a diversity_n of_o passion_n yet_o they_o be_v all_o but_o several_a degree_n particular_a and_o divers_a mode_n of_o either_o her_o extension_n or_o contraction_n this_o be_v then_o suppose_v i_o proceed_v to_o the_o first_o and_o general_a cause_n of_o all_o passion_n where_o i_o observe_v first_o what_o be_v only_o hint_v a_o little_a afore_o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o simple_a representation_n of_o good_a or_o evil_n in_o any_o object_n how_o great_a soever_o it_o be_v that_o be_v sufficient_a to_o raise_v commotion_n in_o the_o sensitive_a soul_n for_o we_o usualy_a without_o perturbation_n behold_v the_o prosperous_a or_o adverse_a event_n befalling_a other_o man_n no_o way_n relate_v to_o we_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v further_o require_v to_o the_o move_a our_o affection_n that_o the_o good_a or_o evil_n apprehend_v be_v by_o we_o conceive_v to_o concern_v ourselves_o in_o particular_a or_o our_o friend_n at_o least_o and_o near_a relation_n who_o in_o this_o case_n be_v part_n of_o ourselves_o second_o that_o even_o that_o good_a or_o evil_n wherein_o a_o man_n conceive_v himself_o to_o be_v concern_v be_v not_o always_o apprehend_v by_o he_o under_o one_o and_o the_o same_o ration_n or_o aspect_n but_o various_o aswell_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o object_n itself_o as_o of_o the_o subject_a to_o which_o it_o do_v more_o peculiarly_a and_o immediate_o appertain_v of_o the_o divers_a ration_n under_o which_o one_o and_o the_o same_o object_n good_a or_o evil_n may_v be_v apprehend_v by_o one_o and_o the_o same_o man_n respective_o to_o the_o various_a circumstance_n thereof_o we_o shall_v more_o opportune_o speak_v anon_o and_o as_o for_o those_o that_o respect_v the_o subject_a or_o man_n apprehend_v it_o be_v worthy_a our_o serious_a remark_n moral_a that_o all_o good_a or_o evil_a represent_v to_o man_n do_v concern_v the_o sensitive_a soul_n either_o as_o she_o be_v distinct_a from_o the_o body_n and_o abstract_n from_o all_o relation_n or_o as_o she_o be_v intimate_o conjoin_v to_o the_o body_n and_o interress_v therein_o or_o final_o as_o she_o be_v subordinate_a to_o the_o rational_a soul_n for_o though_o every_o affect_v or_o passion_n be_v found_v in_o the_o corporeal_a soul_n yet_o it_o always_o respect_v the_o good_a or_o evil_n of_o one_o or_o other_o of_o these_o three_o subject_n and_o be_v first_o raise_v on_o the_o behalf_n of_o this_o that_o or_o the_o other_o wherefore_o according_a to_o this_o triple_a relation_n of_o the_o sensitive_a soul_n all_o passion_n incident_a thereto_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v either_o physical_a or_o metaphysical_a or_o
