to_o renounce_v our_o own_o sense_n reason_n prudence_n and_o wisdom_n and_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o the_o counsel_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n and_o to_o judge_v of_o good_a and_o of_o

as_o for_o grief_n or_o sorrow_n we_o may_v judge_v of_o this_o affection_n by_o the_o contrary_a which_o be_v joy_n be_v namely_o that_o it_o be_v a_o motion_n and_o a_o affection_n of_o the_o

dolour_n and_o torment_n for_o it_o engender_v melancholy_a melancholy_n and_o melancholy_a engender_v it_o and_o increase_v it_o more_o so_o that_o we_o often_o see_v melancholy_a man_n very_o sad_a although_o no_o harm_n have_v befall_v they_o neither_o can_v they_o give_v any_o reason_n of_o their_o heaviness_n moreover_o this_o black_a melancholy_a humour_n be_v of_o this_o nature_n that_o it_o will_v make_v the_o spirit_n and_o mind_n darkish_a whereby_o it_o grow_v to_o be_v blockish_a &_o the_o heart_n lose_v all_o his_o cheerfulness_n and_o because_o the_o brain_n be_v cool_v thereby_o it_o wax_v very_o heavy_a &_o drowsy_a now_o when_o grief_n be_v in_o great_a measure_n sorrow_n it_o bring_v withal_o a_o kind_n of_o loathe_v &_o tediousness_n which_o cause_v a_o man_n to_o hate_v &_o to_o be_v weary_a of_o all_o thing_n even_o of_o the_o light_n and_o of_o a_o man_n self_n so_o that_o he_o shall_v take_v pleasure_n in_o nothing_o but_o in_o his_o melancholy_n in_o

to_o be_v the_o scourge_n of_o god_n to_o chastise_v our_o fault_n which_o be_v worthy_a of_o great_a punishment_n thus_o let_v we_o always_o look_v to_o the_o first_o cause_n of_o our_o affliction_n and_o to_o god_n who_o visit_v we_o just_o whatsoever_o the_o mean_n be_v which_o he_o use_v and_o not_o to_o second_o cause_n and_o to_o the_o next_o mean_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o do_v not_o

who_o throw_v it_o not_o to_o stir_v up_o ourselves_o to_o despite_v he_o or_o to_o be_v avenge_v of_o he_o but_o to_o crave_v for_o pardon_n and_o grace_n at_o his_o hand_n and_o this_o be_v the_o

matter_n it_o remain_v that_o we_o shall_v know_v whether_o this_o affection_n be_v altogether_o vicious_a and_o whole_o proceed_v from_o our_o corrupt_a nature_n or_o whether_o it_o have_v within_o it_o any_o seed_n of_o virtue_n it_o as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o it_o be_v give_v of_o god_n to_o man_n to_o stir_v he_o up_o to_o the_o desire_n of_o excellent_a thing_n to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o he_o see_v himself_o despise_v and_o reject_v for_o base_a action_n and_o abject_a thing_n and_o be_v grieve_v for_o the_o same_o he_o shall_v endeavour_n to_o leave_v

of_o anger_n be_v very_o good_a for_o be_v angry_a in_o this_o sort_n our_o anger_n be_v turn_v upon_o ourselves_o only_o to_o blame_v and_o reprehend_v ourselves_o for_o our_o sloth_n and_o

we_o will_v be_v angry_a according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n let_v we_o first_o be_v angry_a against_o ourselves_o for_o our_o fault_n and_o imperfection_n and_o when_o we_o have_v just_a

enuy._n chap._n 56._o achitob._n forasmuch_o as_o nature_n wisdom_n and_o goodness_n teach_v that_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v knit_v together_o by_o love_n as_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o and_o that_o we_o be_v by_o the_o self_n same_o nature_n frame_v and_o fashion_v thereunto_o as_o we_o may_v learn_v by_o that_o which_o we_o have_v hear_v of_o the_o form_n and_o disposition_n of_o the_o

of_o our_o heart_n the_o cause_n of_o this_o natural_a obligation_n concern_v the_o succour_n we_o owe_v one_o to_o another_o namely_o love_n what_o can_v be_v either_o find_v or_o place_v there_o but_o hardness_n inhumanity_n cruelty_n and_o all_o kind_n of_o barbarousness_n which_o be_v to_o be_v account_v and_o take_v for_o monster_n in_o man_n nature_n for_o how_o strange_a and_o

all_o from_o one_o fountain_n nevertheless_o we_o see_v that_o man_n be_v incline_v rather_o to_o hatred_n then_o to_o love_n but_o let_v we_o search_v out_o the_o cause_n thereof_o there_o be_v many_o that_o take_v hatred_n to_o be_v a_o inveterate_a anger_n be_v because_o it_o be_v a_o habit_n of_o anger_n whereby_o the_o heart_n eschew_v something_o as_o evil_a and_o desire_v to_o repel_v and_o drive_v it_o away_o wherefore_o this_o affection_n be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o love_v &_o so_o likewise_o be_v anger_n for_o it_o be_v a_o offence_n root_v in_o the_o hart_n which_o cause_v it_o to_o wish_v great_o his_o hurt_n by_o who_o it_o take_v itself_o to_o be_v offend_v now_o because_o contempt_n do_v often_o accompany_v hatred_n and_o envy_n be_v never_o without_o it_o beside_o that_o it_o breed_v strife_n contention_n manslaughter_n and_o murder_n therefore_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n hatred_n be_v often_o take_v for_o all_o these_o thing_n it_o as_o for_o the_o vehement_a cause_n of_o hatred_n they_o be_v in_o every_o one_o according_a as_o a_o man_n esteem_v of_o the_o thing_n he_o hate_v therefore_o proud_a and_o envious_a person_n be_v always_o very_o much_o incline_v to_o hatred_n some_o man_n also_o be_v of_o such_o a_o hateful_a nature_n that_o they_o scarce_o wish_v well_o to_o any_o body_n and_o sure_o these_o be_v very_o devilish_a nature_n some_o likewise_o be_v give_v thereunto_o of_o custom_n which_o they_o have_v get_v by_o rejoice_v at_o other_o man_n harm_n but_o the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v easy_a for_o we_o to_o hate_v then_o to_o love_n love_n and_o why_o hatred_n take_v deep_a root_n in_o our_o heart_n then_o love_n be_v because_o hatred_n find_v a_o better_a soil_n there_o and_o a_o more_o apt_a foundation_n to_o be_v

nor_o celestial_a flame_n to_o stir_v up_o and_o to_o kindle_v the_o heart_n with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o to_o procure_v it_o to_o follow_v after_o that_o knowledge_n therefore_o man_n be_v

of_o appetite_n among_o the_o creature_n which_o be_v common_o call_v the_o one_o natural_a the_o other_o sensitive_a and_o the_o three_o voluntary_a appetite_n as_o for_o the_o natural_a we_o may_v

without_o any_o action_n proceed_v from_o any_o soul_n or_o life_n as_o when_o we_o say_v that_o heavy_a thing_n desire_v to_o go_v downward_o and_o light_a thing_n upward_o as_o we_o see_v it_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o element_n which_o be_v without_o soul_n and_o life_n but_o beside_o this_o natural_a appetite_n common_a to_o all_o creature_n there_o be_v a_o other_o that_o have_v action_n join_v with_o the_o inclination_n which_o nevertheless_o proceed_v not_o of_o any_o sense_n this_o appetite_n be_v proper_a to_o the_o vegetative_a and_o nourish_a soul_n and_o life_n whereof_o plant_n be_v partaker_n for_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o they_o have_v a_o natural_a appetite_n to_o draw_v unto_o they_o and_o to_o retain_v that_o which_o be_v meet_v for_o their_o nature_n and_o food_n and_o to_o expel_v the_o contrary_n for_o if_o a_o plant_n wax_v dry_a it_o desire_v to_o be_v water_v and_o draw_v and_o keep_v humour_n and_o moisture_n necessary_a for_o itself_o we_o

their_o food_n so_o they_o desire_v to_o be_v unburthen_v when_o they_o have_v too_o much_o the_o appetite_n which_o we_o call_v hunger_n &_o thirst_n thirst_n may_v be_v refer_v to_o this_o kind_n of_o natural_a appetite_n if_o this_o be_v except_v that_o we_o can_v not_o say_v it_o be_v without_o sense_n and_o feeling_n for_o beside_o the_o desire_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v there_o be_v withal_o a_o sense_n of_o this_o attraction_n whereby_o the_o member_n suck_v the_o vein_n and_o the_o vein_n the_o blood_n and_o this_o sense_n be_v not_o without_o grief_n and_o displeasure_n so_o that_o every_o live_a creature_n be_v stir_v up_o to_o seek_v for_o his_o food_n and_o to_o take_v his_o refection_n whereupon_o we_o may_v divide_v this_o natural_a appetite_n also_o into_o two_o

of_o the_o whole_a body_n but_o only_o for_o themselves_o it_o be_v more_o like_a to_o that_o appetite_n that_o be_v in_o plant_n for_o they_o feel_v neither_o hunger_n nor_o thirst_n as_o other_o

the_o more_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v love_v so_o that_o every_o will_n shall_v desire_v to_o join_v itself_o thereunto_o to_o follow_v after_o it_o and_o to_o have_v the_o fruition_n thereof_o and_o

of_o true_a love_n of_o true_a faith_n and_o of_o true_a patience_n we_o see_v then_o that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o hire_a love_n because_o it_o may_v be_v such_o not_o only_o in_o respect_n
