their_o soul_n fight_v for_o her_o honour_n and_o hold_v it_o a_o punishment_n to_o offend_v she_o but_o these_o be_v not_o the_o effect_n of_o jealousy_n which_o contrariwise_o violate_v the_o

with_o a_o imperfect_a passion_n which_o can_v judge_v of_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o party_n belove_v they_o which_o know_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v diverse_a and_o as_o remote_a one_o from_o another_o as_o the_o earth_n be_v from_o heaven_n will_v easy_o pass_v on_o this_o side_n and_o yield_v that_o jealousy_n be_v neither_o compatible_a with_o love_n nor_o be_v any_o sign_n thereof_o yet_o if_o we_o shall_v yield_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o vulgar_a we_o may_v free_o confess_v that_o jealousy_n in_o truth_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o love_n but_o as_o the_o fever_n be_v a_o argument_n of_o life_n it_o be_v unquestionable_a that_o a_o fever_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o life_n see_v the_o dead_a be_v not_o susceptible_a of_o this_o bad_a quality_n but_o as_o a_o fever_n show_v that_o there_o be_v some_o relic_n of_o life_n in_o the_o patient_a that_o be_v torment_v accompany_v he_o to_o his_o grave_n so_o jealousy_n be_v i_o know_v not_o what_o sign_n of_o love_n see_v they_o which_o love_v not_o can_v have_v any_o jealousy_n but_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o we_o expel_v it_o not_o it_o will_v in_o the_o end_n ruin_n love_n like_v unto_o a_o thick_a smoke_n which_o smother_v the_o bright_a flame_n this_o be_v all_o we_o can_v yield_v unto_o the_o vulgar_a so_o as_o according_a to_o this_o opinion_n which_o we_o have_v hold_v the_o most_o probable_a jealousy_n be_v to_o love_n as_o thick_a mist_n be_v to_o flower_n hail_n to_o harvest_n storm_n to_o fruit_n and_o poison_n to_o our_o life_n of_o hatred_n or_o enmity_n chap._n 1._o as_o the_o law_n of_o love_n and_o hatred_n be_v direct_o contrary_a by_o that_o which_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o love_n it_o will_v be_v easy_a to_o judge_v wherein_o hatred_n consist_v and_o how_o far_o her_o effect_n extend_v hatred_n then_o be_v a_o aversion_n and_o horror_n which_o man_n have_v of_o all_o that_o seem_v contrary_a to_o his_o good_a or_o prejudicial_a to_o his_o contentment_n or_o else_o hatred_n be_v a_o horror_n which_o the_o appetite_n have_v of_o that_o which_o seem_v pernicious_a unto_o it_o so_o as_o the_o sheep_n hate_v the_o wolf_n as_o the_o enemy_n and_o persecuter_n of_o his_o life_n but_o we_o must_v here_o observe_v that_o as_o all_o that_o be_v befit_v nature_n be_v put_v in_o the_o rank_n of_o good_a so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n whatsoever_o be_v opposite_a unto_o it_o must_v be_v place_v in_o the_o rank_n of_o evil_n wherefore_o as_o the_o good_a be_v the_o object_n of_o love_n so_o the_o evil_n be_v the_o object_n of_o hatred_n to_o understand_v this_o we_o must_v remember_v that_o whether_o it_o be_v in_o the_o mind_n or_o in_o the_o body_n there_o be_v a_o besit_a estate_n and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o natural_a harmony_n which_o make_v we_o to_o

as_o for_o the_o soul_n this_o same_o harmony_n may_v be_v consider_v first_o in_o the_o sense_n as_o well_o external_a as_o internal_a &_o consist_v in_o the_o proportion_n they_o have_v with_o

of_o thing_n which_o depend_v on_o wisdom_n which_o we_o do_v with_o content_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o first_o our_o spirit_n be_v enemy_n to_o lie_v although_o at_o some_o time_n it_o take_v

when_o as_o the_o intention_n have_v any_o grace_n and_o as_o for_o the_o second_o there_o be_v such_o diversity_n of_o judgement_n in_o human_a action_n which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o element_n of_o prudence_n as_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n in_o a_o manner_n incredible_a for_o hardly_o shall_v you_o see_v two_o person_n which_o have_v the_o same_o feel_n and_o apprehension_n of_o affair_n in_o

in_o nature_n in_o plant_n in_o beast_n and_o in_o man_n brutish_a hatred_n be_v rather_o a_o rage_n then_o a_o passion_n for_o that_o it_o seek_v a_o furious_a destruction_n of_o that_o it_o hate_v and_o to_o see_v the_o last_o relic_n consume_v so_o as_o it_o be_v more_o fit_v for_o raven_a wolf_n or_o for_o monster_n then_o for_o man_n such_o be_v the_o hatred_n of_o those_o who_o not_o

under_o the_o condition_n of_o difficult_a obtain_n but_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o diverse_a motion_n they_o excite_v by_o their_o nature_n in_o the_o appetite_n for_o that_o hope_n strive_v to_o seek_v and_o enjoy_v the_o object_n and_o despair_n to_o fly_v from_o it_o and_o avoid_v it_o whence_o it_o grow_v that_o if_o we_o compare_v hope_n and_o courage_n we_o shall_v find_v they_o contrary_a passion_n not_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o appetite_n see_v that_o both_o agitate_v and_o stir_v up_o the_o spirit_n and_o serve_v it_o as_o a_o spur_n to_o make_v it_o more_o ready_a in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o th●ir_a object_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o object_n for_o that_o hope_n look_v to_o the_o apparent_a good_a and_o courage_n to_o the_o evil_n in_o like_a

the_o strive_n of_o the_o appetite_n then_o to_o excite_v and_o stir_v it_o up_o next_o desire_n and_o flight_n be_v contrary_a passion_n by_o both_o reason_n together_o consider_v that_o the_o one_o have_v the_o good_a for_o object_n and_o the_o other_o the_o evil_n and_o moreover_o desire_v stir_n up_o the_o appetite_n to_o seek_v the_o object_n whereas_o flight_n make_v it_o retire_v to_o avoid_v it_o we_o may_v make_v the_o same_o comparison_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o passion_n but_o this_o will_v appear_v more_o plain_o when_o we_o shall_v treat_v of_o they_o in_o particular_a of_o the_o quality_n of_o passion_n whether_o they_o be_v good_a or_o bad_a chap._n 3._o among_o the_o question_n which_o have_v be_v serious_o dispute_v in_o the_o school_n of_o ancient_a

the_o reason_n which_o move_v they_o to_o this_o opinion_n be_v for_o that_o they_o hold_v it_o a_o unworthy_a thing_n for_o a_o wise_a and_o virtuous_a man_n to_o see_v himself_o subject_a to_o the_o
