the_o power_n of_o the_o affection_n and_o interest_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n sect._n 1_o the_o belief_n of_o christianity_n be_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n suppose_v to_o be_v thus_o sufficient_o recommend_v to_o the_o understanding_n which_o be_v a_o well-natured_a faculty_n and_o very_o ready_a to_o hear_v reason_n when_o it_o be_v offer_v to_o it_o there_o be_v but_o one_o

work_v mediate_o by_o the_o will_n and_o have_v sometime_o that_o unhappy_a institence_n upon_o that_o as_o by_o their_o importunity_n to_o persuade_v it_o to_o interpose_v before_o the_o full_a representment_n or_o proposal_n of_o the_o object_n and_o so_o to_o hinder_v the_o free_a access_n of_o the_o argument_n to_o the_o understanding_n sect._n 3_o thus_o we_o see_v it_o often_o in_o prejudicate_a and_o passionate_a man_n who_o be_v impatient_a of_o hear_v or_o consider_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v dispossess_v they_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v it_o sometime_o in_o those_o of_o a_o better_a temper_n who_o yet_o be_v unwilling_a to_o lose_v any_o advantage_n which_o they_o can_v make_v use_n of_o to_o maintain_v their_o present_a persuasion_n be_v so_o intent_n upon_o their_o

offer_v or_o to_o which_o if_o it_o have_v happen_v that_o they_o have_v undertake_v the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o other_o part_n they_o can_v have_v heighten_v they_o this_o latter_a be_v not_o a_o effect_n of_o so_o great_a a_o distemper_n be_v not_o so_o discernible_a to_o ourselves_o especial_o as_o the_o other_o but_o yet_o be_v a_o fault_n and_o that_o of_o ill_a consequence_n and_o a_o deviation_n from_o the_o rule_n of_o distributive_a justice_n which_o will_v allow_v as_o much_o of_o our_o attention_n or_o diligence_n to_o the_o improve_n of_o the_o argument_n of_o the_o one_o part_n as_o of_o the_o other_o and_o express_v as_o impartial_a a_o kindness_n to_o the_o neighbour_n as_o to_o myself_o and_o in_o all_o this_o the_o will_n be_v culpable_a for_o be_v thus_o more_o or_o less_o instrumental_a to_o the_o affection_n and_o so_o it_o be_v negative_o also_o whensoever_o we_o do_v not_o use_v that_o industry_n of_o search_n as_o our_o condition_n permit_v and_o the_o importance_n of_o the_o matter_n require_v of_o we_o sect._n 4_o but_o than_o second_o the_o affection_n and_o interest_n do_v themselves_o immediate_o sometime_o perform_v their_o own_o business_n they_o cloud_n and_o darken_v the_o understanding_n and_o make_v it_o less_o capable_a and_o receptive_a of_o such_o representation_n as_o be_v make_v to_o it_o sect._n 5_o this_o make_v aristotle_n to_o affirm_v that_o pleasure_n be_v in_o some_o man_n a_o {non-roman}_o corruptive_a of_o principle_n i_o e._n that_o those_o common_a dictate_v of_o nature_n etc._n etc._n which_o be_v by_o all_o unbiased_a man_n natural_o consent_v to_o as_o true_a and_o unquestioned_a do_v yet_o to_o voluptuous_a man_n and_o the_o same_o hold_n in_o matter_n of_o fear_n and_o interest_n and_o the_o other_o passion_n and_o ill_a habit_n also_o become_v matter_n of_o dispute_n whether_o they_o be_v true_a or_o not_o not_o because_o in_o reason_n any_o thing_n can_v there_o be_v offer_v sit_v to_o infuse_v scruple_n into_o a_o rational_a man_n or_o to_o combat_v with_o the_o far_o great_a potency_n of_o reason_n on_o the_o other_o side_n which_o denominate_v they_o principle_n but_o because_o these_o rational_a dictate_v have_v somewhat_o in_o they_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o and_o unreconcilable_a with_o passion_n and_o sensitive_a pleasure_n those_o consequent_o that_o have_v indulge_v to_o they_o and_o espouse_v they_o as_o the_o most_o desirable_a thing_n do_v for_o the_o enjoy_n of_o they_o undervalue_n and_o despise_v the_o rational_a argument_n which_o will_v cost_v they_o so_o dear_a even_o the_o part_n with_o their_o lust_n if_o they_o continue_v in_o that_o reputation_n which_o be_v due_a to_o they_o sect._n 6_o hence_o be_v it_o that_o the_o more_o prudent_a of_o heathen_a philosopher_n have_v propose_v it_o as_o the_o best_a preparative_n to_o the_o study_v and_o search_n of_o truth_n to_o have_v man_n affection_n and_o appetite_n well_o regulate_v first_o though_o not_o by_o read_v or_o study_v the_o book_n and_o science_n of_o moral_n or_o ethics_n yet_o by_o b_o arist._n assuetude_n and_o virtuous_a custom_n by_o inartificial_a precept_n and_o

they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o pass_v a_o exact_a judgement_n of_o thing_n and_o without_o this_o say_v they_o it_o be_v as_o impossible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o behold_v and_o judge_v aright_o of_o
