all_o thing_n believe_v all_o thing_n hope_n all_o thing_n and_o endure_v all_o thing_n but_o it_o seem_v the_o apostle_n have_v forget_v to_o put_v in_o desire_n or_o else_o he_o think_v it_o no_o part_n of_o christian_a charity_n and_o i_o must_v confess_v that_o i_o be_o of_o the_o latter_a opinion_n and_o as_o the_o scripture_n always_o speak_v of_o brotherly_a love_n and_o charity_n in_o term_n import_v benevolence_n so_o whenever_o it_o speak_v of_o the_o opposite_a vice_n do_v it_o not_o always_o describe_v it_o by_o contrary_a character_n do_v it_o ever_o describe_v it_o by_o want_n of_o desire_n no_o but_o by_o want_n of_o good_a will_n by_o anger_n wrath_n envy_n bitterness_n malice_n and_o such_o like_a term_n and_o by_o what_o measure_n of_o love_n it_o be_v that_o christ_n will_v proceed_v in_o his_o judgement_n of_o the_o world_n whether_o by_o love_n of_o benevolence_n or_o by_o love_n of_o desire_n i_o shall_v leave_v to_o be_v determine_v by_o what_o he_o say_v himself_o concern_v that_o matter_n in_o the_o 25_o chapter_n of_o st._n matthew_n from_o all_o which_o put_v together_o i_o think_v nothing_o can_v be_v more_o clear_a and_o certain_a than_o that_o the_o love_n intend_v and_o require_v in_o the_o second_o great_a commandment_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o love_n of_o desire_n but_o only_a love_n of_o benevolence_n and_o i_o can_v imagine_v what_o beside_o the_o equivocation_n of_o the_o word_n love_n shall_v make_v the_o world_n run_v so_o general_o upon_o a_o contrary_a notion_n unless_o it_o be_v that_o clause_n in_o the_o commandment_n and_o the_o second_o be_v like_a unto_o it_o whence_o perhaps_o it_o have_v be_v conclude_v that_o because_o the_o first_o be_v mean_v of_o love_n of_o desire_n therefore_o the_o second_o must_v be_v so_o too_o but_o he_o must_v be_v either_o much_o prejudice_v or_o very_a dull-sighted_n that_o do_v not_o see_v that_o by_o like_a unto_o it_o be_v only_o mean_v of_o equal_a authority_n and_o obligation_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o pharisaic_a partiality_n towards_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o law_n well_o then_o the_o result_n of_o the_o present_a consideration_n be_v this_o since_o that_o most_o entire_a love_n of_o god_n i_o stand_v for_o in_o the_o first_o commandment_n do_v not_o at_o all_o interfere_v with_o the_o love_n of_o our_o neighbour_n in_o the_o second_o suppose_v that_o by_o love_n there_o we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v love_n of_o desire_n but_o only_a love_n of_o benevolence_n and_o since_o as_o i_o have_v show_v love_n of_o benevolence_n be_v the_o love_n there_o sole_o intend_v i_o may_v now_o with_o assurance_n conclude_v that_o the_o account_v i_o have_v give_v of_o the_o first_o commandment_n as_o high_a as_o it_o be_v be_v no_o way_n injurious_a to_o the_o second_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v general_o lay_v to_o my_o charge_n but_o you_o go_v further_o undertake_v to_o show_v that_o my_o account_n of_o the_o

pure_o and_o entire_o from_o ourselves_o the_o former_a part_n of_o this_o i_o absolute_o allow_v and_o contend_v for_o concern_v the_o latter_a i_o distinguish_v when_o you_o say_v that_o all_o our_o evil_n be_v pure_o and_o entire_o from_o ourselves_o if_o you_o mean_v of_o moral_a evil_n i_o grant_v it_o but_o if_o you_o mean_v of_o natural_a evil_n than_o i_o must_v distinguish_v again_o upon_o the_o word_n from_o ourselves_o which_o may_v signify_v either_o a_o physical_a or_o moral_a or_o if_o you_o will_v a_o efficient_a or_o a_o meritorious_a causality_n we_o be_v certain_o the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o all_o our_o natural_a evil_n as_o bring_v they_o upon_o we_o by_o our_o sin_n but_o that_o we_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o any_o of_o they_o i_o deny_v as_o all_o our_o good_a be_v whole_o from_o god_n so_o in_o this_o sense_n be_v also_o our_o evil_n we_o have_v not_o the_o power_n to_o modify_v our_o own_o soul_n and_o can_v no_o more_o raise_v the_o sensation_n of_o pain_n in_o they_o than_o that_o of_o pleasure_n god_n be_v the_o true_a author_n of_o both_o as_o i_o have_v elsewhere_o show_v you_o say_v again_o that_o affliction_n be_v not_o evil_a but_o good_a to_o which_o i_o return_v that_o they_o be_v both_o in_o different_a respect_n they_o be_v certain_o evil_a in_o their_o own_o formal_a nature_n and_o simple_o in_o themselves_o consider_v and_o can_v be_v good_a only_o occasional_o or_o consequential_o as_o they_o may_v serve_v as_o mean_n to_o some_o great_a good_n and_o this_o i_o think_v may_v serve_v to_o reconcile_v the_o goodness_n of_o pain_n to_o that_o assertion_n of_o i_o that_o nothing_o do_v we_o good_a but_o what_o cause_v pleasure_n that_o be_v either_o formal_o and_o direct_o or_o occasional_o and_o consequential_o some_o way_n or_o other_o whatever_o do_v we_o good_a must_v be_v suppose_v to_o cause_v pleasure_n to_o we_o now_o though_o pain_n can_v cause_v pleasure_n formal_o as_o be_v a_o

think_v fit_a to_o confine_v my_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n pleasure_n to_o such_o only_a as_o be_v true_o agreeable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n by_o which_o i_o suppose_v you_o mean_v those_o pleasure_n which_o be_v call_v rational_a and_o intellectual_a to_o this_o i_o reply_v that_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o very_o evident_a and_o i_o think_v i_o have_v elsewhere_o make_v it_o so_o that_o god_n be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o all_o the_o pleasure_n that_o be_v resent_v by_o man._n but_o you_o say_v you_o know_v not_o how_o it_o can_v consist_v with_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o most_o

suppose_v that_o sensual_a pleasure_n as_o such_o be_v evil_a or_o that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o a_o sinful_a pleasure_n proper_o speak_v as_o sin_n can_v be_v formal_o pleasant_a so_o neither_o can_v pleasure_n be_v formal_o sinful_a all_o pleasure_n in_o itself_o be_v simple_o good_a as_o be_v a_o real_a modification_n of_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v the_o circumstantiate_a of_o it_o

reasonable_a that_o we_o shall_v have_v none_o it_o will_v be_v in_o vain_a to_o go_v about_o to_o define_v any_o of_o the_o modification_n of_o our_o spirit_n which_o since_o we_o have_v no_o idea_n of_o they_o must_v be_v learn_v by_o inward_a sentiment_n and_o can_v no_o more_o be_v make_v know_v by_o word_n to_o those_o that_o have_v not_o feel_v they_o than_o colour_n can_v be_v describe_v to_o a_o man_n that_o be_v blind_a and_o therefore_o you_o must_v excuse_v i_o if_o i_o own_v myself_o unable_a to_o gratify_v your_o request_n in_o give_v you_o a_o definition_n of_o pleasure_n which_o though_o i_o know_v when_o i_o feel_v it_o and_o be_o able_a to_o distinguish_v from_o light_n or_o colour_n or_o sound_v or_o from_o the_o opposite_a sensation_n of_o pain_n yet_o since_o i_o know_v it_o by_o internal_a consciousness_n only_o or_o sentiment_n and_o not_o by_o idea_n i_o can_v by_o word_n render_v it_o intelligible_a to_o any_o body_n else_o but_o must_v remit_v he_o that_o desire_v the_o knowledge_n of_o its_o nature_n to_o sense_n and_o experience_n for_o he_o can_v never_o know_v it_o till_o he_o feel_v it_o and_o have_v those_o motion_n excite_v in_o the_o organ_n of_o his_o sense_n to_o which_o the_o author_n of_o nature_n have_v annex_v this_o sensation_n however_o i_o may_v venture_v to_o call_v pain_n a_o uneasy_a thought_n not_o that_o i_o intend_v thereby_o to_o define_v it_o for_o i_o think_v it_o no_o more_o capable_a of_o a_o definition_n strict_o so_o call_v than_o pleasure_n but_o only_a to_o intimate_v in_o general_a that_o it_o be_v a_o modification_n belong_v to_o spirit_n and_o not_o to_o body_n for_o see_v clear_o in_o the_o idea_n which_o i_o have_v of_o extension_n that_o all_o its_o modification_n reduce_v themselves_o to_o figure_n and_o motion_n or_o certain_a relation_n of_o distance_n i_o conclude_v that_o pleasure_n and_o pain_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o those_o sensation_n which_o i_o feel_v in_o myself_o by_o interior_a sentiment_n be_v not_o modification_n belong_v to_o my_o corporeal_a substance_n but_o to_o some_o other_o which_o i_o call_v my_o spirit_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n it_o be_v that_o i_o call_v pain_n a_o uneasy_a thought_n but_o then_o for_o the_o reconcile_n this_o with_o my_o say_n that_o it_o anticipate_v and_o prevent_v all_o thought_n i_o need_v only_o suggest_v to_o you_o that_o when_o i_o call_v pain_n a_o uneasy_a thought_n i_o take_v thought_n in_o its_o utmost_a latitude_n for_o all_o that_o we_o be_v any_o way_n conscious_a of_o to_o ourselves_o as_o my_o most_o

and_o reflect_a thought_n which_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a and_o evident_a by_o all_o experience_n that_o pain_n do_v prevent_v and_o as_o certain_a that_o grief_n do_v suppose_v follow_v and_o proceed_v from_o it_o but_o to_o return_v from_o these_o digression_n for_o i_o call_v all_o thing_n so_o that_o have_v not_o a_o immediate_a connection_n with_o religion_n to_o that_o which_o be_v the_o principal_a subject_n of_o our_o correspondence_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o subject_a of_o all_o our_o thought_n the_o love_n of_o god._n our_o saviour_n place_n it_o in_o the_o head_n of_o

which_o in_o order_n of_o conception_n we_o can_v suppose_v to_o result_v from_o the_o be_v of_o a_o intelligent_a creature_n will_v be_v to_o love_v the_o author_n of_o it_o and_o if_o he_o who_o
