if_o we_o further_o meditate_v upon_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o apt_a emblem_n of_o love_n in_o general_n but_o that_o it_o also_o mystical_o point_v out_o to_o we_o the_o two_o great_a species_n of_o love_n concupiscence_n and_o benevolence_n the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n we_o know_v be_v double_a dilatation_n and_o

great_a pulse_n of_o the_o soul_n love_n be_v there_o not_o here_o also_o the_o like_a double_a motion_n for_o we_o desire_v good_a which_o answer_v to_o the_o dilatation_n and_o immission_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o we_o also_o wish_v well_o to_o which_o answer_v to_o the_o contraction_n and_o emission_n of_o it_o 13_o i_o know_v not_o what_o some_o may_v think_v of_o this_o and_o i_o know_v there_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o never_o think_v themselves_o and_o look_v with_o scorn_n and_o contempt_n upon_o such_o notion_n as_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v out_o without_o more_o than_o ordinary_a think_v but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o must_v needs_o own_o that_o i_o stand_v amaze_v at_o this_o wonderful_a harmony_n and_o correspondence_n and_o that_o i_o be_o thereby_o the_o more_o confirm_v in_o that_o celebrate_a notion_n of_o the_o platonist_n that_o as_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o image_n of_o god_n so_o the_o body_n be_v the_o image_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o that_o this_o visible_a and_o material_a be_v but_o the_o shadow_n or_o as_o plotinus_n will_v have_v it_o the_o echo_n of_o the_o invisible_a and_o immaterial_a world._n sect_n iv._o of_o the_o first_o great_a branch_n of_o love_n viz._n love_n of_o concupiscence_n or_o desire_n with_o the_o several_a kind_n of_o it_o 1_o we_o have_v consider_v the_o nature_n of_o love_n in_o general_n and_o have_v show_v it_o to_o consist_v in_o a_o motion_n of_o the_o soul_n towards_o good_a whence_o we_o take_v occasion_n to_o represent_v the_o analogy_n between_o love_n and_o physical_a motion_n which_o we_o find_v to_o be_v exact_a and_o apposite_a even_o to_o surprise_n and_o admiration_n we_o have_v also_o discover_v the_o double_a motion_n of_o this_o mystical_a pulse_n and_o according_o have_v branch_v out_o love_n into_o two_o general_a part_n love_n of_o concupiscence_n and_o love_n of_o benevolence_n i_o come_v now_o to_o treat_v of_o each_o of_o these_o several_o 2_o and_o first_o of_o love_n of_o concupiscence_n or_o desire_n the_o general_a idea_n of_o which_o i_o conceive_v to_o 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 not_o that_o there_o be_v or_o can_v be_v any_o desire_n without_o wish_v well_o to_o for_o as_o i_o observe_v before_o these_o be_v always_o inseparable_a concomitant_n but_o their_o idea_n be_v very_o distinct_a i_o think_v i_o may_v very_o well_o abstract_n from_o the_o one_o when_o my_o business_n lie_v only_o to_o consider_v the_o other_o 3_o concern_v this_o love_n of_o desire_n i_o further_o consider_v that_o the_o primary_n and_o adequate_a object_n of_o it_o be_v the_o same_o that_o be_v of_o all_o love_n namely_o good_a in_o general_a or_o god._n for_o we_o desire_v good_a as_o good_a or_o good_a in_o common_a before_o we_o desire_v this_o or_o that_o good_a in_o particular_a and_o when_o we_o do_v desire_v any_o particular_a good_a it_o be_v still_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o universal_a good_a whereof_o it_o partake_v and_o according_a to_o the_o degree_n of_o this_o participation_n either_o real_a or_o apparent_a so_o we_o measure_v out_o and_o dispense_v our_o love._n so_o that_o good_a in_o general_n be_v the_o primary_n and_o adequate_a object_n of_o desire_n 4_o

concomitancy_n to_o infer_v indistinction_n and_o identity_n but_o notwithstanding_o this_o connexion_n the_o idea_n of_o desire_n and_o benevolence_n be_v very_o distinct_a as_o will_v easy_o and_o clear_o appear_v to_o any_o close_a and_o attentive_a thinker_n sect_n iii_o the_o analogy_n between_o love_n and_o motion_n particular_o with_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n with_o a_o further_a illustration_n of_o the_o first_o and_o great_a division_n of_o love._n 1_o have_v in_o the_o forego_n section_n fix_v the_o general_a idea_n of_o love_n in_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o soul_n towards_o good_a and_o this_o be_v a_o term_n somewhat_o metaphorical_a and_o withal_o not_o so_o often_o apply_v by_o scholastic_a writer_n to_o this_o purpose_n i_o think_v it_o concern_v i_o to_o draw_v here_o a_o short_a parallel_n between_o love_n and_o physical_a motion_n and_o to_o show_v the_o admirable_a agreement_n and_o correspondency_n that_o be_v between_o they_o whereby_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o the_o general_a idea_n of_o love_n can_v not_o have_v have_v a_o more_o convenient_a representation_n 2_o the_o excellent_a mounseur_fw-fr malebranche_n undertake_v to_o describe_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o consider_v its_o idea_n to_o be_v very_a abstract_n and_o such_o as_o do_v not_o fall_v within_o the_o sphere_n of_o imagination_n 2._o think_v it_o best_o to_o shadow_n it_o forth_o by_o the_o two_o eminent_a property_n of_o matter_n viz._n that_o of_o receive_v various_a figure_n and_o that_o of_o motion_n or_o mobility_n to_o the_o property_n of_o receive_v various_a figure_n he_o resemble_v that_o faculty_n of_o the_o mind_n which_o we_o call_v understanding_n and_o to_o motion_n or_o mobility_n he_o liken'_v the_o will._n the_o first_o of_o these_o parallel_n he_o pursue_v and_o illustrate_v in_o many_o particular_n but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o the_o last_o he_o give_v only_o this_o one_o instance_n of_o resemblance_n that_o as_o all_o motion_n natural_o proceed_v in_o a_o right_a line_n unless_o by_o the_o interposition_n of_o external_a and_o particular_a cause_n they_o be_v otherwise_o determine_v so_o all_o the_o inclination_n which_o we_o have_v receive_v from_o god_n be_v right_o and_o will_v tend_v only_o to_o the_o true_a good_a be_v they_o not_o turn_v aside_o to_o ill_a end_n by_o the_o impulse_n of_o some_o foreign_a cause_n 3_o this_o indeed_o be_v fine_o observe_v by_o this_o ingenious_a and_o learned_a theorist_n but_o for_o a_o enlargement_n of_o the_o parallel_n i_o consider_v further_o that_o as_o in_o the_o motion_n of_o body_n gravity_n precede_v actual_a gravitation_n that_o be_v we_o necessary_o conceive_v a_o certain_a congruity_n or_o connaturality_n of_o a_o body_n to_o a_o certain_a term_n before_o its_o actual_a tendency_n thither_o so_o in_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v a_o natural_a complacency_n or_o like_n of_o good_a before_o its_o actual_a exert_v itself_o towards_o it_o for_o we_o desire_v nothing_o but_o what_o we_o like_v or_o relish_v as_o convenient_a and_o agreeable_a to_o we_o but_o this_o i_o have_v touch_v upon_o already_o and_o shall_v therefore_o no_o long_o insist_v upon_o it_o 4_o further_o therefore_o as_o this_o affection_n call_v gravity_n in_o body_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o first_o impression_n or_o alteration_n make_v upon_o they_o by_o the_o various_a act_n of_o those_o effluvium_n or_o stream_n of_o particle_n which_o issue_n out_o from_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o great_a magnet_n the_o earth_n so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v either_o no_o such_o magnetic_a body_n or_o a_o vacuum_n to_o intercept_v its_o influence_n there_o will_v be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o gravity_n so_o in_o the_o like_a manner_n this_o radical_a complacency_n and_o connaturality_n of_o the_o soul_n towards_o good_a which_o i_o call_v she_o moral_a gravity_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o first_o alteration_n or_o impression_n which_o be_v make_v upon_o she_o by_o the_o stream_a influence_n of_o the_o great_a and_o supreme_a magnet_n god_n continual_o act_v upon_o she_o and_o attract_v she_o by_o his_o active_a and_o powerful_a charm_n so_o that_o if_o either_o there_o be_v no_o god_n or_o this_o his_o influence_n never_o so_o little_a a_o while_n intercept_v there_o will_v be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o this_o complacency_n or_o moral_a gravity_n of_o the_o soul._n 5_o again_o as_o this_o physical_a gravity_n cause_v in_o body_n a_o actual_a effort_n or_o tendency_n towards_o the_o centre_n and_o that_o with_o such_o necessity_n that_o they_o can_v but_o tend_v thither_o even_o while_o violent_o detain_v and_o when_o at_o liberty_n hasten_v with_o all_o possible_a speed_n to_o this_o last_o term_n of_o their_o motion_n so_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o moral_a gravity_n the_o soul_n actual_o put_v forth_o and_o exert_v herself_o towards_o the_o great_a magnet_n good_a in_o general_a or_o god_n and_o that_o with_o as_o much_o necessity_n as_o a_o stone_n fall_v downward_o and_o though_o detain_v violent_o by_o the_o interposition_n of_o her_o body_n yet_o still_o she_o endeavour_v towards_o her_o centre_n and_o be_v no_o soon_o set_v at_o liberty_n but_o she_o hasten_v away_o to_o it_o and_o unite_v herself_o with_o it_o for_o the_o will_n notwithstanding_o all_o her_o sovereignty_n and_o dominion_n act_v according_a to_o nature_n and_o necessity_n when_o she_o tend_v to_o her_o perfection_n nay_o i_o take_v this_o necessity_n to_o be_v such_o that_o i_o think_v it_o absolute_o impossible_a for_o god_n to_o create_v a_o soul_n without_o this_o tendency_n to_o himself_o and_o that_o not_o only_o because_o it_o be_v against_o order_n and_o decorum_n that_o he_o shall_v do_v so_o but_o also_o because_o this_o moral_a gravity_n of_o the_o soul_n whence_o proceed_v all_o her_o actual_a tendency_n be_v cause_v by_o the_o continual_a act_n of_o god_n upon_o she_o by_o this_o attractive_a and_o magnetic_a influence_n for_o god_n be_v the_o first_o mover_n in_o moral_a as_o well_o as_o in_o natural_a motion_n and_o whatever_o he_o move_v he_o move_v to_o himself_o 6_o again_o i_o consider_v that_o as_o the_o gravitation_n or_o actual_a endeavour_n of_o body_n towards_o the_o centre_n be_v always_o alike_o and_o uniform_a however_o their_o real_a progress_n may_v be_v hinder_v or_o the_o swiftness_n of_o it_o resist_v by_o accidental_a letts_n and_o impediment_n so_o be_v this_o moral_a gravitation_n or_o actual_a endeavour_n of_o the_o soul_n towards_o good_a in_o general_a or_o god_n always_o equal_a and_o uniform_a for_o a_o man_n do_v not_o desire_v to_o be_v happy_a more_o at_o one_o time_n than_o at_o another_o as_o i_o have_v elsewhere_o show_v i_o say_v this_o endeavour_n of_o the_o soul_n towards_o good_a be_v always_o equal_a 296._o however_o her_o real_a advance_n to_o it_o be_v hinder_v or_o resist_v by_o the_o interposition_n of_o the_o body_n 7_o again_o i_o consider_v that_o as_o natural_a motion_n be_v a_o tendency_n or_o translation_n of_o a_o body_n from_o a_o undue_a and_o incongruous_a place_n to_o a_o place_n of_o rest_n and_o acquiescence_n whereby_o it_o acquire_v as_o it_o be_v a_o new_a form_n of_o perfection_n so_o love_n be_v ecstatical_a and_o carry_v a_o man_n out_o from_o himself_o as_o insufficient_a to_o be_v his_o own_o good_a towards_o good_a without_o he_o which_o by_o union_n he_o endeavour_v to_o make_v his_o own_o and_o so_o to_o better_v and_o improve_v his_o be_v till_o at_o length_n his_o desire_n be_v swallow_v up_o in_o the_o fruition_n of_o the_o universal_a good_a and_o motion_n be_v exchange_v for_o rest_n and_o acquiescence_n 8_o this_o parallel_n between_o love_n and_o motion_n in_o general_n may_v be_v carry_v on_o much_o further_o but_o beside_o that_o it_o be_v convenient_a to_o leave_v something_o for_o the_o contemplative_a reader_n to_o work_v out_o by_o himself_o i_o have_v also_o another_o parallel_n to_o make_v between_o love_n and_o a_o certain_a particular_a motion_n namely_o that_o of_o the_o heart_n wherein_o as_o there_o be_v as_o much_o harmony_n and_o correspondency_n in_o other_o respect_n so_o there_o be_v this_o peculiar_a in_o it_o that_o this_o be_v a_o motion_n perform_v within_o a_o man_n self_n and_o depend_v upon_o a_o intrinsic_n and_o vital_a principle_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o 9_o first_o then_o we_o may_v consider_v that_o the_o heart_n be_v the_o great_a wheel_n of_o the_o humane_a machine_n the_o spring_n of_o all_o animal_n and_o vital_a motion_n and_o the_o head-fountain_n of_o life_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d as_o hypocrates_n somewhere_o call_v it_o and_o that_o its_o motion_n be_v the_o first_o and_o lead_a motion_n of_o all_o that_o it_o begin_v as_o soon_o as_o the_o flame_n of_o life_n be_v kindle_v and_o end_v not_o till_o the_o vital_a congruity_n be_v quite_o dissolve_v and_o thus_o it_o be_v in_o love._n this_o be_v the_o great_a wheel_n of_o the_o intellectual_a
