familiar_a thing_n aught_o to_o be_v favour_v against_o all_o those_o that_o consist_v in_o sympathy_n or_o in_o secret_a influence_n or_o in_o specific_a quality_n and_o yet_o no_o doubt_n we_o

that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o we_o find_v no_o other_o mean_n to_o deliver_v ourselves_o from_o a_o difficulty_n for_o so_o long_o as_o there_o be_v any_o other_o mean_n of_o escape_v it_o if_o it_o be_v but_o any_o thing_n tolerable_a this_o must_v needs_o be_v very_o bad_a but_o to_o come_v to_o the_o present_a business_n those_o which_o have_v consider_v that_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o month_n of_o august_n be_v great_a than_o that_o of_o the_o month_n of_o june_n and_o july_n although_o in_o they_o the_o sun_n be_v near_o to_o we_o and_o strike_v we_o with_o less_o oblique_a ray_n and_o make_v long_a day_n have_v thence_o infer_v that_o this_o excess_n of_o heat_n proceed_v from_o the_o influence_n of_o a_o star_n which_o be_v call_v the_o dog_n to_o which_o they_o have_v also_o give_v other_o ill_a quality_n for_o this_o if_o we_o will_v believe_v what_o they_o say_v of_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o in_o august_n the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v more_o malignant_a even_o when_o it_o be_v no_o great_a than_o in_o the_o other_o month_n of_o summer_n that_o many_o creature_n and_o especial_o dog_n do_v then_o run_v mad_a and_o that_o it_o be_v then_o more_o dangerous_a to_o go_v into_o the_o water_n and_o that_o sickness_n be_v more_o frequent_a and_o great_a and_o that_o man_n feel_v some_o particular_a weakness_n in_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n but_o all_o thing_n well_o consider_v it_o will_v be_v find_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o all_o this_o that_o shall_v oblige_v we_o to_o attribute_v secret_a and_o particular_a virtue_n to_o the_o dog-star_n and_o to_o leave_v the_o large_a field_n of_o know_a and_o ordinary_a cause_n for_o first_o i_o do_v not_o see_v why_o we_o shall_v wonder_v that_o the_o sun_n be_v hot_a in_o august_n then_o in_o july_n though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o august_n he_o regard_v we_o somewhat_o more_o oblique_o and_o that_o the_o day_n be_v shot_a the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v because_o the_o earth_n have_v be_v exceed_o dry_a by_o the_o former_a heat_n be_v more_o apt_a to_o be_v violent_o scorch_v as_o we_o see_v that_o any_o dry_a thing_n set_v before_o a_o lesser_a fire_n receive_v a_o more_o violent_a heat_n than_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v moist_a from_o a_o fire_n that_o be_v much_o great_a that_o this_o reason_n be_v pertinent_a there_o be_v a_o experience_n that_o methinks_v prove_v it_o plain_o enough_o it_o be_v that_o though_o at_o noon_n the_o sun_n be_v near_o to_o we_o and_o cast_v more_o direct_a ray_n on_o we_o than_o he_o do_v any_o time_n after_o yet_o those_o that_o travel_n in_o summer_n do_v perceive_v a_o more_o violent_a heat_n two_o or_o three_o hour_n afternoon_n then_o at_o noon_n itself_o the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v that_o at_o noon_n the_o moisture_n of_o the_o morning_n be_v not_o so_o well_o dry_v up_o either_o on_o the_o grass_n or_o the_o air_n or_o the_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v a_o while_n after_o this_o example_n be_v so_o put_v to_o the_o subject_n i_o apply_v it_o to_o the_o question_n in_o hand_n that_o there_o can_v be_v find_v any_o difference_n in_o it_o and_o it_o may_v serve_v well_o enough_o to_o prove_v what_o i_o say_v for_o as_o somebody_o have_v well_o observe_v the_o image_n of_o the_o four_o season_n of_o the_o year_n be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o one_o only_a day_n in_o which_o the_o morning_n by_o its_o moisture_n represent_v the_o spring_n noon_n and_o sometime_o after_o be_v like_o the_o summer_n solstice_n and_o the_o two_o month_n that_o follow_v it_o the_o evening_n to_o the_o autumn_n and_o the_o arrival_n of_o night_n to_o the_o arrival_n of_o winter_n now_o as_o this_o reason_n render_v the_o heat_n of_o august_n great_a it_o be_v manifest_a that_o withal_o it_o render_v it_o necessary_o more_o malign_a but_o yet_o if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o it_o be_v often_o more_o malignant_a than_o that_o of_o other_o month_n without_o be_v more_o violent_a i_o answer_v that_o this_o do_v not_o yet_o force_v we_o to_o fly_v to_o a_o secret_a cause_n for_o if_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o attribute_v this_o particular_a malignity_n to_o the_o influence_n of_o some_o star_n it_o will_v follow_v also_o that_o we_o must_v give_v influence_n to_o some_o other_o star_n for_o to_o render_v a_o reason_n of_o the_o particular_a malignity_n of_o the_o sun_n in_o march_n which_o as_o have_v a_o very_a feeble_a hear_v one_o will_v think_v shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o be_v hurtful_a and_o to_o engender_v so_o easy_o rheum_n and_o catarrh_n but_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n these_o two_o several_a malignity_n be_v the_o effect_n only_o of_o the_o course_n of_o the_o year_n and_o of_o two_o contrary_a extreme_n for_o the_o sun_n in_o march_n have_v something_o of_o malign_v and_o dangerous_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a humidity_n it_o meet_v with_o in_o the_o earth_n nay_o and_o in_o our_o brain_n on_o which_o it_o act_v so_o weak_o that_o instead_o of_o dissolve_v it_o only_o dilate_v it_o and_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o sun_n in_o august_n be_v extraordinary_a hurtful_a through_o a_o excess_n of_o dryness_n which_o it_o find_v in_o the_o earth_n after_o it_o have_v endure_v the_o heat_n of_o a_o great_a part_n of_o summer_n and_o in_o our_o body_n which_o the_o same_o heat_n have_v dry_v it_o be_v this_o dryness_n which_o at_o this_o time_n dispose_v beast_n to_o madness_n though_o indeed_o dog_n run_v mad_a not_o only_o in_o august_n but_o also_o very_a often_o in_o the_o month_n of_o june_n and_o july_n or_o september_n which_o need_v not_o for_o this_o borrow_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o dog-star_n from_o this_o excessive_a dryness_n proceed_v likewise_o the_o weakness_n which_o we_o feel_v then_o in_o our_o body_n and_o the_o disposition_n which_o this_o season_n put_v we_o in_o to_o divers_a malady_n for_o every_o extreme_a be_v always_o nigh_o a_o evil_a and_o easy_o fall_v into_o one_o or_o rather_o be_v one_o itself_o to_o conclude_v if_o those_o that_o swim_v in_o this_o month_n do_v find_v that_o the_o water_n be_v more_o unwholesome_a than_o they_o be_v before_o a_o man_n may_v say_v it_o be_v because_o their_o more_o pure_a and_o subtle_a part_n have_v be_v exhale_v by_o the_o precedent_a heat_n and_o that_o what_o remain_v be_v gross_a and_o impure_a and_o i_o do_v not_o see_v that_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o this_o we_o shall_v need_v to_o attribute_v to_o the_o dog-star_n more_o than_o in_o the_o other_o thing_n we_o mention_v the_o end_n
make_v we_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v true_a we_o need_v only_o to_o look_v upon_o the_o visage_n of_o man_n in_o choler_n to_o confess_v that_o nothing_o do_v more_o resemble_v the_o visage_n of_o a_o man_n that_o be_v sad_a and_o there_o appear_v something_o of_o painful_a and_o force_v somewhat_o like_a to_o that_o one_o see_v in_o the_o face_n of_o a_o porter_n employ_v with_o all_o his_o strength_n to_o lift_v up_o a_o great_a burden_n it_o be_v even_o so_o also_o in_o all_o other_o motion_n of_o hate_n for_o in_o a_o word_n it_o be_v as_o unimaginable_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v machinate_v any_o black_a design_n and_o frame_v within_o himself_o some_o malicious_a contrivance_n without_o lose_v the_o native_a quiet_a and_o serenity_n of_o his_o spirit_n as_o that_o the_o air_n shall_v continue_v serene_a when_o it_o be_v form_v into_o storm_n and_o tempest_n and_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v overspread_v with_o dark_a cloud_n before_o it_o pour_v down_o either_o hail_n or_o thunderbolt_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o as_o the_o spring_n of_o a_o pistol_n be_v not_o at_o rest_n and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o its_o due_a place_n so_o long_o as_o it_o be_v cock_v and_o ready_a to_o give_v fire_n and_o kill_v so_o our_o soul_n be_v without_o doubt_n restless_a and_o out_o of_o its_o repose_n so_o long_o as_o it_o continue_v as_o it_o be_v bend_v to_o the_o execution_n of_o some_o malicious_a act_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v mischief_n to_o another_o and_o if_o we_o will_v descend_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o man_n to_o that_o of_o beast_n we_o shall_v there_o also_o find_v some_o testimony_n of_o this_o truth_n since_o that_o they_o which_v when_o they_o be_v alone_o seem_v to_o take_v pleasure_n in_o consider_v the_o beauty_n of_o the_o day_n of_o the_o meadow_n of_o the_o river_n and_o forest_n and_o be_v most_o lightsome_a and_o sportive_a be_v also_o the_o most_o innocent_a and_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_a all_o the_o savage_a and_o

in_o we_o to_o drive_v from_o our_o mind_n all_o malicious_a thought_n when_o we_o will_v full_o enjoy_v any_o great_a happiness_n or_o else_o the_o joy_n which_o a_o good_a fortune_n cause_v in_o we_o render_v we_o sweet_a and_o easy_a to_o pardon_v injury_n because_o after_o have_v get_v external_a good_n we_o do_v the_o more_o violent_o desire_v those_o that_o respect_v the_o soul_n namely_o

be_v unwilling_a to_o deprive_v we_o of_o it_o by_o disabuse_v we_o and_o take_v from_o we_o that_o delightful_a error_n in_o which_o we_o be_v no_o more_o than_o they_o will_v wake_v we_o if_o they_o know_v we_o be_v in_o a_o pleasant_a dream_n or_o else_o be_v it_o because_o many_o man_n think_v they_o do_v well_o to_o make_v use_n of_o a_o lie_n to_o uphold_v the_o truth_n or_o else_o be_v we_o not_o chief_o deceive_v by_o false_a relation_n because_o we_o think_v it_o reasonable_a to_o give_v credit_n to_o one_o that_o be_v no_o bad_a man_n but_o have_v on_o the_o contrary_a much_o of_o

what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o according_a to_o the_o common_a say_n of_o the_o poet_n and_o of_o aristotle_n himself_o in_o the_o second_o book_n of_o his_o politic_n valiant_a and_o courageous_a person_n be_v most_o subject_a to_o love_v be_v it_o not_o because_o courage_n and_o a_o inclination_n to_o love_n have_v one_o and_o the_o same_o original_a in_o the_o temperament_n namely_o heat_n of_o blood_n which_o may_v be_v perceive_v in_o that_o the_o age_n wherein_o man_n be_v most_o courageous_a through_o the_o heat_n of_o his_o blood_n be_v that_o wherein_o he_o be_v most_o incline_v to_o love_n or_o else_o be_v it_o not_o because_o love_n be_v a_o passion_n which_o have_v some_o beauty_n and_o nobleness_n and_o that_o man_n true_o courageous_a as_o they_o have_v a_o more_o

which_o be_v honest_a and_o to_o opinionativeness_n because_o it_o have_v a_o shadow_n of_o constancy_n but_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_n they_o be_v far_o than_o other_o man_n from_o avarice_n cruelty_n and_o desire_v of_o revenge_n because_o these_o motion_n of_o the_o soul_n have_v not_o the_o least_o footstep_n of_o any_o nobleness_n and_o beauty_n now_o to_o show_v that_o love_n be_v a_o passion_n which_o have_v some_o nobleness_n and_o something_o of_o praiseworthy_a we_o may_v bring_v this_o reason_n that_o whatsoever_o some_o say_v that_o will_v decide_v this_o business_n by_o fine_a expression_n and_o have_v their_o jest_n pass_v for_o oracle_n a_o true_a lover_n do_v in_o some_o sort_n love_n beauty_n for_o itself_o and_o not_o only_o for_o the_o hope_n of_o a_o base_a and_o brutish_a pleasure_n for_o he_o not_o only_o humble_v himself_o before_o the_o belove_a object_n as_o we_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o a_o great_a man_n by_o constraint_n and_o with_o

have_v some_o beauty_n in_o that_o they_o denote_v in_o the_o soul_n where_o they_o be_v form_v some_o violent_a inclination_n to_o love_v perfection_n or_o else_o may_v we_o say_v that_o even_o the_o inclination_n to_o love_v perfection_n be_v the_o sole_a motive_n and_o only_a fountain_n of_o true_a courage_n so_o that_o if_o love_n have_v in_o it_o any_o ray_n or_o spark_n thereof_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o those_o who_o have_v a_o extreme_a high_a courage_n be_v the_o more_o subject_a to_o it_o or_o else_o be_v it_o that_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o resist_v at_o once_o

as_o above_o all_o other_o produce_v familiarity_n and_o do_v necessary_o deface_v and_o abolish_v respect_n and_o inequality_n i_o mean_v that_o union_n wherein_o marriage_n consist_v it_o remain_v then_o only_o to_o speak_v of_o that_o marriage_n which_o may_v be_v imagine_v between_o brother_n and_o sister_n in_o regard_n of_o which_o the_o precede_a reason_n can_v have_v no_o place_n see_v they_o owe_v one_o another_o no_o respect_n but_o mere_o amity_n it_o be_v well_o know_v what_o a_o great_a personage_n discourse_v on_o this_o subject_n have_v say_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o affection_n which_o will_v arise_v from_o such_o a_o marriage_n as_o be_v produce_v from_o the_o concourse_n of_o two_o such_o potent_a consideration_n will_v be_v somewhat_o too_o ardent_a but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o do_v not_o think_v he_o shall_v have_v take_v it_o thus_o nay_o i_o conceive_v that_o in_o some_o sort_n it_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v take_v quite_o contrary_a but_o before_o i_o explain_v myself_o more_o clear_o i_o will_v say_v that_o in_o every_o species_n of_o the_o passion_n there_o be_v of_o they_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o one_o another_o and_o that_o expel_v one_o another_o and_o be_v incompatible_a instead_o of_o increase_v and_o mutual_o assist_v each_o other_o thus_o for_o example_n there_o be_v contrary_a joy_n for_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a brutish_a joy_n which_o be_v so_o incompatible_a with_o another_o spiritual_a joy_n that_o when_o this_o last_o possess_v the_o soul_n the_o other_o must_v necessary_o give_v place_n and_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o many_o that_o feel_v within_o themselves_o most_o perfect_a pleasure_n and_o such_o as_o be_v very_o spiritual_a have_v in_o their_o countenance_n a_o air_n of_o sadness_n very_o far_o from_o have_v their_o eye_n cheerful_a and_o those_o other_o mark_n that_o accompany_v low_a and_o base_a pleasure_n thus_o a_o sadness_n that_o raise_v in_o a_o man_n a_o discourse_n which_o he_o intend_v to_o make_v upon_o humane_a vanity_n and_o misery_n be_v very_o far_o from_o increase_a that_n which_o the_o loss_n of_o a_o suit_n at_o law_n or_o the_o like_a have_v beget_v in_o he_o diminish_v it_o and_o instead_o of_o overcharge_v his_o spirit_n comfort_v it_o thus_o grief_n for_o a_o disgrace_n far_o from_o augment_v the_o weakness_n into_o which_o our_o soul_n be_v cast_v through_o a_o corporal_a grief_n serve_v many_o time_n to_o take_v from_o she_o the_o sense_n of_o it_o in_o a_o word_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v also_o thus_o anger_n be_v fear_n love_n enemy_n as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v one_o to_o another_o and_o incompatible_a this_o be_v thus_o premise_v i_o say_v that_o the_o passion_n which_o we_o proper_o call_v love_n as_o arise_v from_o a_o bodily_a pleasure_n and_o be_v altogether_o sportful_a and_o wanton_a and_o a_o enemy_n to_o all_o serious_a thought_n and_o consideration_n according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o poet_n and_o of_o lover_n themselves_o can_v but_o be_v of_o a_o nature_n more_o contrary_a to_o fraternal_a love_n which_o be_v altogether_o spiritual_a holy_a and_o serious_a and_o flow_v only_o from_o reason_n that_o for_o this_o cause_n so_o far_o be_v they_o from_o increase_a one_o another_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o that_o must_v necessary_o loosen_v all_o the_o bond_n of_o this_o and_o that_o as_o we_o perceive_v that_o it_o loosen_v they_o and_o that_o we_o have_v a_o very_a great_a inclination_n to_o keep_v they_o still_o fast_o and_o unite_a and_o such_o as_o nature_n will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v we_o feel_v also_o for_o this_o cause_n a_o repugnance_n by_o reason_n of_o that_o which_o thus_o loosen_v they_o and_o herein_o we_o do_v for_o all_o the_o world_n as_o

we_o shall_v soon_o perceive_v that_o quite_o contrary_a these_o two_o sort_n of_o joy_n can_v agree_v together_o much_o less_o augment_v one_o another_o and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o extravigance_n to_o
