hope_n which_o be_v by_o the_o testimony_n of_o aristotle_n a_o species_n of_o love_n contemn_v and_o surmount_v all_o difficulty_n which_o hinder_v its_o attain_n to_o its_o good_n here_o one_o object_v that_o anger_n which_o arise_v from_o hatred_n and_o inward_a grief_n have_v more_o violent_a effect_n than_o hope_v and_o the_o other_o passion_n it_o be_v answer_v that_o anger_n consist_v of_o a_o mixture_n of_o love_n and_o hatred_n therefore_o homer_n say_v that_o to_o be_v angry_a be_v a_o thing_n more_o sweet_a than_o honey_n for_o anger_n tend_v to_o revenge_n and_o cease_v when_o we_o be_v revenge_v for_o the_o wrong_n we_o apprehend_v do_v to_o we_o now_o revenge_n seem_v a_o good_a and_o delectable_a thing_n to_o the_o person_n that_o seek_v it_o and_o therefore_o all_o the_o great_a ebullition_n and_o commotion_n observe_v in_o anger_n ought_v to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o love_n and_o desire_n of_o revenge_n beside_o the_o motion_n which_o attend_v hatred_n be_v motion_n of_o flight_n as_o those_o which_o accompany_v love_n be_v motion_n of_o pursuit_n and_o anger_n be_v rather_o a_o pursuit_n and_o seek_v of_o revenge_n than_o a_o flight_n from_o any_o evil_n it_o be_v more_o reasonable_o to_o be_v rank_v under_o love_n than_o under_o hatred_n again_o we_o see_v amorous_a person_n be_v more_o easy_o put_v into_o heat_n than_o even_o those_o which_o be_v draw_v up_o in_o battalion_n and_o ready_a to_o kill_v one_o another_o in_o fine_a if_o hatred_n and_o all_o the_o passion_n attend_v it_o have_v any_o force_n and_o violence_n love_n be_v the_o prime_a cause_n thereof_o we_o hate_v no_o thing_n but_o because_o we_o love_v some_o thing_n and_o that_o more_o or_o less_o proportionable_o as_o we_o love_v wherefore_o the_o philosopher_n who_o will_v introduce_v a_o apathy_n and_o banish_v all_o the_o passion_n shall_v have_v do_v well_o rather_o to_o extinguish_v love_n for_o he_o who_o love_v no_o thing_n hate_v no_o thing_n and_o when_o we_o have_v lose_v any_o thing_n our_o sadness_n and_o resentment_n be_v proportionable_a to_o the_o love_n we_o have_v for_o it_o he_o that_o love_v no_o thing_n fear_v no_o thing_n and_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o he_o do_v not_o love_v his_o own_o life_n he_o do_v not_o fear_v death_n it_o be_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v inquire_v which_o excite_v the_o great_a commotion_n love_n or_o hatred_n since_o even_o those_o which_o hatred_n excite_v proceed_v from_o love_n the_o three_o say_v that_o the_o act_n or_o motion_n of_o the_o appetite_n be_v call_v passion_n because_o they_o make_v the_o body_n suffer_v and_o cause_v a_o alteration_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o pulse_n such_o as_o aim_v at_o pleasure_n enervate_v the_o motion_n of_o contraction_n because_o they_o dilate_v the_o spirit_n and_o augment_v that_o of_o dilatation_n whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a those_o which_o belong_v to_o sadness_n diminish_v the_o motion_n of_o dilatation_n because_o they_o further_o that_o of_o contraction_n we_o may_v consider_v the_o passion_n either_o material_o or_o formal_o the_o former_a consideration_n denote_v the_o impression_n which_o they_o make_v upon_o the_o body_n the_o latter_a the_o relation_n to_o their_o object_n so_o anger_n consider_v material_o be_v define_v a_o ebullition_n and_o fervour_n of_o the_o blood_n about_o the_o heart_n and_o formal_o a_o desire_n of_o revenge_n this_o be_v premize_v i_o affirm_v that_o hatred_n be_v much_o more_o powerful_a than_o love_n if_o we_o consider_v they_o material_o not_o as_o alone_o but_o as_o leader_n of_o a_o party_n viz._n love_n with_o all_o the_o train_n of_o passion_n that_o follow_v the_o same_o towards_o good_a and_o hatred_n with_o all_o its_o adherent_n in_o reference_n to_o evil._n for_o either_o of_o they_o take_v apart_o and_o by_o itself_o make_v very_o little_a impression_n and_o alteration_n in_o the_o heart_n love_n be_v a_o bare_a acknowledgement_n of_o and_o complacency_n in_o good_a and_o go_v no_o further_a as_o love_n hatred_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o bare_a rejection_n disavow_v and_o aversion_n of_o evil._n in_o verification_n of_o which_o conception_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o those_o passion_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o effect_n ascribe_v to_o love_n as_o ecstasy_n languish_v be_v the_o effect_n not_o of_o love_n but_o of_o hope_n weary_a and_o

which_o be_v material_o a_o expansion_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o heart_n towards_o the_o part_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n wherein_o appear_v rather_o a_o cessation_n from_o action_n than_o any_o violence_n but_o hatred_n which_o terminate_v in_o anger_n make_v a_o furious_a havoc_n it_o dause_v the_o blood_n to_o boil_v about_o the_o heart_n and_o call_v to_o its_o aid_n the_o same_o passion_n that_o be_v subservient_fw-fr to_o love_n as_o hope_n and_o boldness_n conceive_v it_o a_o good_a to_o be_v revenge_v on_o the_o present_a evil._n the_o case_n be_v the_o same_o also_o if_o they_o be_v consider_v according_a to_o their_o formality_n for_o the_o object_n of_o love_n be_v a_o good_a not_o absolute_a but_o according_a to_o some_o consideration_n see_v the_o good_a of_o a_o
