angry_a in_o good_a earnest_n but_o if_o he_o be_v persuade_v that_o it_o be_v just_a he_o shall_v be_v so_o this_o consideration_n will_v without_o fail_v put_v fire_n into_o his_o soul_n as_o soon_o as_o ever_o he_o think_v of_o it_o and_o will_v there_o kindle_v the_o flame_n of_o choler_n hence_o it_o come_v that_o a_o thief_n what_o want_v so_o ever_o he_o have_v of_o money_n will_v not_o be_v angry_a that_o a_o man_n have_v be_v so_o careful_a as_o not_o to_o let_v he_o cut_v his_o purse_n for_o he_o can_v see_v in_o this_o any_o indignity_n and_o he_o do_v absolute_o want_v the_o consideration_n of_o justice_n which_o ought_v to_o begin_v the_o form_n of_o choler_n in_o he_o and_o as_o for_o the_o common_a say_n by_o which_o we_o express_v the_o want_n of_o gratitude_n which_o we_o ordinary_o see_v in_o man_n they_o also_o do_v often_o surpass_v the_o truth_n for_o if_o we_o consider_v it_o well_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o press_v than_o a_o motion_n of_o gratitude_n and_o experience_n show_v sufficient_a example_n of_o it_o among_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n but_o to_o leave_v this_o discourse_n i_o will_v add_v that_o because_o there_o be_v few_o spirit_n so_o miserable_a as_o to_o endeavour_v to_o make_v themselves_o more_o wicked_a than_o they_o be_v man_n for_o that_o reason_n know_v not_o how_o inaccessible_a the_o extremity_n of_o vice_n be_v and_o how_o impossible_a it_o will_v be_v for_o he_o to_o despoil_v himself_o of_o what_o ever_o there_o be_v good_a and_o laudable_a in_o his_o nature_n and_o to_o go_v quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o reason_n and_o that_o this_o make_v he_o sometime_o have_v too_o ill_a a_o opinion_n of_o himself_o and_o to_o pass_v beyond_o the_o bound_n of_o truth_n in_o blame_v himself_o prob._n 49._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 noble_a soul_n so_o have_v they_o also_o a_o great_a propension_n to_o all_o the_o passion_n that_o have_v any_o ray_n of_o nobleness_n and_o beauty_n and_o proceed_v partly_o from_o a_o good_a principle_n indeed_o we_o see_v that_o for_o this_o reason_n they_o be_v subject_a to_o ambition_n because_o ambition_n have_v some_o mixture_n of_o generosity_n and_o of_o the_o love_n of_o that_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 repugnance_n and_o to_o obtain_v some_o good_a of_o he_o but_o he_o also_o take_v pleasure_n in_o this_o very_a act_n of_o submission_n and_o the_o more_o he_o humble_v himself_o with_o innocence_n and_o freeness_n and_o without_o any_o design_n the_o more_o this_o pleasure_n increase_v in_o he_o which_o be_v a_o infallible_a token_n that_o he_o make_v this_o the_o end_n of_o part_n of_o his_o desire_n just_o therefore_o do_v the_o poet_n call_v the_o excess_n of_o love_n handsome_a foolery_n for_o though_o they_o be_v foolery_n in_o that_o they_o choose_v their_o object_n ill_a they_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 two_o contrary_a assault_n because_o this_o seem_v to_o require_v two_o contrary_a disposition_n of_o mind_n and_o that_o for_o this_o reason_n they_o that_o have_v a_o soul_n strong_a to_o resist_v grief_n and_o object_n of_o terror_n be_v many_o time_n extraordinary_a weak_a against_o pleasure_n and_o object_n that_o conquer_v by_o flatter_v our_o sense_n among_o which_o those_o that_o cause_n love_n be_v the_o most_o allure_a certain_o it_o seem_v credible_a when_o we_o consider_v the_o great_a weakness_n with_o which_o man_n the_o most_o famous_a for_o their_o courage_n have_v yield_v to_o pleasure_n of_o this_o kind_n nevertheless_o herein_o their_o courage_n be_v imperfect_a for_o our_o soul_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v firm_a like_o ice_n very_o hard_o freeze_v which_o resist_v the_o blow_n of_o hatchet_n and_o bear_v heavy_a burden_n yet_o make_v less_o resistance_n to_o a_o small_a heat_n and_o to_o a_o ray_n of_o the_o sun_n than_o the_o most_o weak_a thing_n but_o rather_o like_a to_o a_o diamant_n which_o equal_o resist_v all_o assault_n and_o as_o a_o sword_n cut_v alike_o on_o both_o side_n so_o a_o perfect_a and_o complete_a courage_n shall_v be_v whet_v on_o both_o side_n and_o have_v as_o it_o be_v two_o edge_n and_o two_o point_n to_o resist_v equal_o pleasure_n and_o pain_n or_o else_o these_o two_o different_a part_n of_o courage_n which_o we_o now_o speak_v of_o have_v not_o at_o all_o any_o thing_n of_o contrary_a and_o do_v spring_v rather_o from_o the_o same_o fountain_n but_o as_o though_o the_o visual_a faculty_n have_v one_o and_o the_o same_o spring_n yet_o when_o we_o will_v collect_v it_o into_o one_o of_o the_o eye_n and_o there_o make_v it_o become_v more_o strong_a we_o do_v natural_o shut_v the_o other_o so_o our_o soul_n in_o unite_n all_o its_o force_n towards_o some_o one_o side_n remit_v in_o it_o other_o regard_n and_o in_o avoid_v with_o great_a care_n some_o kind_n of_o weakness_n it_o fall_v more_o ready_o into_o other_o prob._n 50._o whence_o come_v that_o aversion_n to_o marriage_n of_o person_n too_o near_o as_o there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o the_o condemn_v of_o marriage_n between_o person_n too_o near_o be_v less_o clear_a by_o reason_n than_o the_o condemn_v of_o vice_n which_o be_v formal_o the_o motion_n of_o malice_n so_o he_o that_o will_v infer_v from_o thence_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o nature_n in_o this_o and_o that_o it_o be_v whole_o a_o civil_a constitution_n and_o no_o more_o will_v be_v deceive_v since_o that_o the_o general_a inclination_n and_o opinion_n of_o man_n testify_v the_o contrary_a for_o a_o general_a opinion_n can_v never_o fail_v of_o be_v true_a at_o least_o in_o part_n and_o the_o example_n of_o beast_n can_v upon_o this_o subject_n be_v considerable_a to_o a_o man_n of_o judgement_n for_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v that_o beast_n shall_v respect_v a_o affinity_n which_o they_o know_v not_o and_o he_o that_o shall_v say_v that_o laughter_n shame_n desire_v of_o glory_n desire_v of_o knowledge_n and_o the_o like_a be_v not_o natural_a to_o man_n because_o they_o be_v not_o natural_a to_o beast_n will_v evident_o make_v a_o ridiculous_a consequence_n and_o if_o man_n can_v give_v particular_a reason_n why_o they_o disapprove_v this_o sort_n of_o marriage_n and_o specify_v what_o they_o find_v inconvenient_a therein_o according_a to_o reason_n we_o ought_v to_o think_v that_o for_o all_o that_o they_o see_v it_o in_o gross_a and_o at_o a_o distance_n as_o many_o time_n we_o see_v afar_o off_o a_o house_n though_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o distinguish_v the_o door_n window_n and_o other_o part_n of_o it_o and_o by_o how_o

find_v our_o flesh_n soft_a and_o easy_o penetrable_a or_o else_o be_v it_o because_o the_o wind_n that_o cool_v only_o one_o part_n of_o we_o such_o as_o that_o be_v which_o come_v in_o at_o a_o little_a crack_n make_v the_o spirit_n to_o which_o this_o coldness_n be_v a_o enemy_n fly_v to_o the_o other_o part_n which_o be_v hurtful_a to_o this_o or_o else_o in_o plain_a term_n as_o the_o welfare_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n consist_v in_o a_o certain_a proportion_n of_o the_o citizen_n one_o to_o another_o so_o the_o good_a state_n of_o the_o body_n be_v a_o certain_a equal_a temper_n of_o all_o the_o part_n so_o that_o when_o any_o thing_n break_v this_o equality_n and_o harmony_n and_o cool_v one_o part_n while_o the_o rest_n continue_v warm_a this_o be_v in_o itself_o a_o malady_n and_o it_o be_v better_a they_o have_v be_v all_o equal_o cool_v or_o else_o be_v it_o because_o the_o wind_n that_o one_o suffer_v in_o the_o open_a field_n be_v a_o very_a wide_a and_o as_o it_o be_v broad_a motion_n of_o the_o air_n which_o arrive_v at_o we_o must_v needs_o break_v itself_o against_o our_o body_n as_o it_o be_v a_o wave_n and_o pass_v on_o each_o side_n without_o penetrate_v it_o whereas_o the_o wind_n of_o a_o little_a hole_n be_v sharp_a do_v the_o better_a penetrate_v our_o pore_n and_o do_v we_o the_o more_o mischief_n as_o we_o see_v that_o a_o arrow_n

contribute_v to_o the_o same_o effect_n viz._n that_o the_o wind_n of_o a_o little_a hole_n hurt_v we_o the_o more_o because_o we_o take_v no_o heed_n of_o it_o and_o that_o so_o we_o suffer_v it_o a_o great_a while_n before_o we_o put_v ourselves_o in_o a_o condition_n to_o avoid_v it_o prob._n 8._o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o evil_n be_v more_o active_a than_o good_a it_o be_v a_o very_a strange_a thing_n and_o yet_o very_o true_a that_o evil_a be_v more_o active_a than_o good_n grief_n which_o be_v a_o evil_a be_v more_o active_a than_o pleasure_n and_o surmount_v it_o so_o much_o in_o violence_n that_o although_o a_o man_n be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n tickle_v with_o all_o the_o pleasure_n that_o can_v flatter_v the_o sense_n a_o small_a grief_n will_v be_v able_a to_o spoil_v all_o his_o happiness_n as_o grief_n be_v strong_a than_o pleasure_n so_o fear_v which_o be_v a_o production_n of_o evil_a be_v a_o passion_n much_o more_o violent_a than_o hope_n which_o be_v a_o production_n of_o good_n bad_a example_n have_v more_o force_n to_o debase_v our_o mind_n then_o good_a have_v to_o raise_v they_o up_o poison_n be_v strong_a than_o remedy_n and_o whereas_o there_o be_v not_o any_o remedy_n that_o can_v cure_v we_o of_o our_o malady_n unless_o it_o be_v apply_v to_o we_o there_o be_v poison_n so_o violent_a that_o they_o kill_v we_o with_o the_o very_a smell_n of_o they_o if_o they_o do_v but_o come_v nigh_o our_o nostril_n thing_n that_o be_v the_o sweet_a to_o the_o taste_n as_o honey_n and_o sugar_n be_v not_o yet_o so_o sweet_a as_o wormwood_n be_v bitter_a and_o if_o you_o mingle_v a_o equal_a quantity_n of_o they_o together_o the_o result_n will_v be_v bitter_a and_o not_o sweet_a the_o ill_a favour_n prevail_v over_o the_o good_a last_o to_o omit_v nothing_o upon_o this_o subject_n and_o to_o run_v through_o all_o kind_n of_o thing_n by_o which_o this_o truth_n may_v be_v clear_v although_o among_o colour_n white_a be_v natural_o more_o excellent_a than_o black_a as_o more_o approach_v to_o the_o nature_n of_o light_n so_o it_o be_v as_o painter_n have_v observe_v that_o it_o be_v the_o most_o feeble_a of_o all_o and_o that_o if_o one_o mix_v it_o in_o a_o equal_a quantity_n with_o black_a it_o be_v always_o vanquish_v but_o what_o then_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o a_o thing_n that_o seem_v so_o contrary_a to_o reason_n i_o answer_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o give_v of_o it_o but_o this_o that_o good_a here_o below_o be_v not_o in_o its_o fountain_n and_o that_o we_o see_v only_o some_o weak_a ray_n and_o small_a spark_n of_o it_o for_o if_o it_o be_v at_o home_n in_o its_o fountain_n it_o will_v infallible_o conquer_v evil_a and_o will_v be_v too_o strong_a for_o it_o since_o that_o activity_n be_v a_o good_a it_o be_v impossible_a but_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o property_n and_o dependence_n of_o good_a rather_o than_o of_o evil._n but_o as_o of_o two_o king_n he_o that_o be_v the_o strong_a may_v be_v vanquish_v by_o the_o other_o in_o a_o place_n where_o he_o have_v not_o the_o body_n of_o his_o force_n and_o his_o great_a power_n so_o it_o may_v very_o well_o be_v that_o good_a may_v be_v more_o active_a than_o ill_a and_o yet_o that_o it_o may_v be_v vanquish_v by_o it_o in_o this_o world_n where_o we_o be_v and_z as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v in_o this_o low_a region_n of_o thing_n where_o it_o be_v not_o in_o its_o fountain_n and_o in_o its_o great_a glory_n and_o from_o hence_o may_v be_v draw_v a_o very_a strong_a consideration_n to_o demonstrate_v the_o existence_n of_o

than_o other_o be_v it_o not_o because_o water_n have_v a_o certain_a faint_a quality_n that_o offend_v the_o stomach_n and_o the_o juice_n of_o fruit_n correct_v that_o quality_n and_o be_v to_o they_o as_o a_o kind_n of_o wine_n which_o they_o be_v not_o averse_a from_o or_o else_o do_v not_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o make_v they_o love_v water_n make_v they_o also_o love_v fruit_n to_o wit_n because_o they_o love_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v moist_a and_o cool_a and_o that_o fruit_n as_o well_o as_o water_n be_v in_o the_o number_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v most_o so_o or_o else_o be_v it_o not_o because_o they_o which_o drink_v water_n only_o do_v with_o more_o difficulty_n digest_v and_o for_o this_o reason_n they_o love_v thing_n that_o be_v easy_o digest_v such_o as_o be_v most_o fruit_n and_o prefer_v they_o before_o viand_n that_o give_v more_o pain_n to_o the_o natural_a heat_n and_o if_o any_o demand_n whence_o it_o be_v that_o they_o say_v also_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_a those_o which_o be_v great_a lover_n of_o wine_n do_v not_o care_n at_o all_o for_o fruit_n be_v it_o not_o the_o contrary_a to_o those_o reason_n i_o now_o mention_v or_o else_o do_v they_o not_o hate_v fruit_n because_o by_o their_o moisture_n they_o dull_a and_o deaden_a the_o palate_n and_o so_o render_v it_o less_o sensible_a of_o the_o pleasure_n to_o which_o they_o be_v so_o much_o addict_v or_o do_v not_o the_o same_o reason_n for_o which_o they_o love_v salt_n and_o dry_a meat_n make_v they_o also_o hate_v those_o that_o quench_v the_o thirst_n among_o which_o it_o seem_v fruit_n hold_v the_o first_o rank_n prob._n 10._o what_o be_v the_o reason_n there_o be_v no_o such_o enmity_n as_o that_o which_o succeed_v amity_n be_v it_o not_o because_o our_o mind_n do_v ardent_o affect_v all_o new_a thing_n and_o love_v change_v and_o that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o hate_v he_o who_o we_o have_v a_o long_a time_n love_v it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a novelty_n and_o a_o extreme_a change_n which_o consequent_o have_v some_o particular_a allurement_n to_o attract_v our_o mind_n and_o engage_v it_o more_o violent_o in_o its_o design_n or_o else_o do_v not_o great_a friendship_n leave_v behind_o they_o great_a enmity_n because_o they_o can_v not_o have_v be_v destroy_v but_o by_o great_a quarrel_n and_o great_a subject_n of_o hatred_n and_o discontent_n or_o else_o be_v it_o because_o as_o a_o stranger_n who_o we_o do_v not_o know_v can_v be_v either_o hate_v or_o love_v by_o the_o same_o reason_n he_o that_o be_v very_o well_o know_v may_v be_v hate_v more_o and_o love_v more_o than_o another_o and_o that_o there_o be_v none_o so_o well_o know_v to_o we_o as_o those_o who_o a_o long_a friendship_n have_v make_v we_o familiar_o acquaint_v with_o and_o indeed_o as_o the_o great_a knowledge_n we_o have_v of_o they_o make_v we_o more_o lively_o imagine_v the_o motion_n of_o hatred_n they_o bear_v we_o the_o word_n they_o will_v say_v the_o thought_n they_o will_v have_v and_o their_o very_a gesture_n in_o their_o anger_n it_o be_v credible_a that_o this_o serve_v to_o inflame_v our_o wrath_n or_o else_o perhaps_o we_o may_v say_v that_o those_o that_o be_v great_a lover_n of_o one_o another_o do_v only_o seem_v to_o hate_v more_o than_o

other_o man_n and_o perhaps_o they_o seem_v so_o because_o that_o some_o relic_n of_o friendship_n which_o they_o can_v chase_v out_o of_o their_o mind_n render_v the_o injury_n which_o they_o
