deliver_v he_o at_o least_o for_o some_o time_n from_o a_o passion_n which_o owe_v all_o its_o force_n and_o vehemence_n to_o the_o imagination_n xiii_o four_o the_o sense_n join_v we_o only_o to_o certain_a object_n that_o lie_v round_o about_o we_o and_o be_v within_o their_o sphere_n but_o the_o imagination_n make_v the_o mind_n a_o slave_n to_o every_o thing_n it_o unite_v it_o to_o the_o

great_a quality_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n be_v the_o most_o prolific_a and_o the_o most_o general_a cause_n of_o the_o blindness_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o heart_n what_o i_o here_o assert_v be_v a_o paradox_n i_o must_v not_o expect_v to_o be_v believe_v without_o proof_n xv._o the_o soul_n be_v rational_a only_o by_o reason_n it_o be_v regular_a only_o by_o

darkness_n and_o put_v it_o in_o disorder_n because_o in_o our_o present_a condition_n we_o can_v strengthen_v this_o union_n without_o weak_z that_o which_o be_v opposite_a to_o it_o now_o it_o be_v by_o the_o imagination_n that_o the_o soul_n dilate_v and_o spread_v itself_o over_o the_o creature_n for_o it_o be_v unite_v to_o truth_n only_o by_o pure_a idea_n free_a from_o all_o imaginary_a

this_o i_o have_v say_v before_o now_o when_o the_o imagination_n be_v beautiful_a easy_a clear_a and_o sprightly_a the_o image_n which_o it_o form_n be_v lively_a animate_v and_o delightful_a always_o draw_v to_o the_o life_n and_o even_o beyond_o it_o thus_o he_o who_o by_o the_o strength_n of_o his_o imagination_n raise_v a_o great_a variety_n of_o different_a object_n in_o his_o mind_n who_o make_v his_o phantom_n always_o appear_v in_o a_o fashionable_a dress_n and_o put_v they_o into_o certain_a regular_a and_o harmonious_a motion_n which_o give_v a_o agreeable_a agitation_n to_o

they_o delight_v continual_o in_o see_v his_o own_o farce_n act_v and_o applaud_v the_o fiction_n of_o his_o own_o brain_n xvi_o it_o be_v natural_a for_o all_o man_n to_o seek_v admirer_n and_o the_o

elastic_a force_n of_o the_o several_a spring_n and_o the_o open_n and_o shut_v of_o the_o passage_n by_o the_o action_n of_o object_n on_o the_o sense_n and_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o principal_a

for_o as_o long_o as_o the_o passion_n last_v this_o admirable_a circulation_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o blood_n be_v continual_o make_v which_o set_v the_o machine_n a_o go_v according_a as_o the_o

extreme_o opposite_a to_o the_o acquisition_n of_o the_o true_a and_o spiritual_a good_n the_o good_n due_a to_o virtue_n and_o merit_n viii_o for_o 1._o the_o passion_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o our_o will_n nothing_o be_v more_o difficult_a than_o to_o govern_v they_o because_o we_o have_v lose_v that_o power_n by_o sin_n which_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v have_v have_v over_o our_o body_n 2._o they_o be_v so_o contrary_a to_o virtue_n and_o merit_n that_o a_o man_n must_v sacrifice_v and_o destroy_v they_o if_o he_o will_v deserve_v the_o name_n and_o reward_n of_o a_o true_o
