for_o their_o heart_n be_v still_o more_o corrupt_v than_o their_o mind_n i_o only_o say_v that_o if_o they_o admit_v nothing_o but_o evident_a principle_n and_o argue_v consequent_o from_o they_o they_o shall_v discover_v the_o same_o truth_n that_o be_v teach_v we_o in_o the_o gospel_n because_o it_o be_v the_o same_o wisdom_n which_o speak_v immediate_o and_o by_o itself_o to_o those_o

consequent_o exceed_v great_a but_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o say_v first_o that_o pure_o intellectual_a joy_n leave_v the_o mind_n to_o its_o entire_a liberty_n and_o take_v up_o but_o very_o little_a of_o its_o think_v capacity_n wherein_o it_o differ_v from_o sensible_a joy_n which_o common_o disturb_v the_o reason_n and_o lessen_v the_o liberty_n i_o answer_v second_o that_o the_o happiness_n of_o adam_n at_o the_o first_o instant_a of_o his_o creation_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o a_o plenary_a and_o entire_a possession_n of_o the_o supreme_a good_a it_o be_v possible_a for_o he_o to_o lose_v it_o and_o become_v miserable_a but_o herein_o his_o happiness_n especial_o consist_v that_o he_o suffer_v no_o evil_n and_o be_v in_o the_o good_a favour_n of_o he_o who_o must_v have_v perfect_v his_o felicity_n if_o he_o have_v persevere_v in_o his_o state_n of_o innocency_n thus_o his_o joy_n be_v not_o excessive_a nay_o it_o be_v or_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v temper_v with_o a_o alloy_n of_o fear_n for_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v diffident_a of_o himself_o i_o answer_v last_o that_o joy_n do_v not_o always_o intend_v the_o mind_n upon_o the_o true_a cause_n that_o produce_v it_o as_o a_o sense_n of_o joy_n arise_v upon_o the_o contemplation_n of_o one_o be_v own_o perfection_n it_o be_v natural_a to_o believe_v that_o prospect_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o for_o when_o a_o thing_n constant_o follow_v from_o another_o it_o be_v natural_o look_v upon_o as_o one_o of_o its_o effect_n thus_o a_o man_n consider_v himself_o as_o the_o author_n of_o his_o own_o present_a happiness_n he_o find_v a_o secret_a complacency_n in_o his_o natural_a perfection_n he_o love_v himself_o and_o think_v not_o of_o he_o who_o operate_v in_o he_o in_o a_o imperceptible_a manner_n it_o be_v true_a adam_n more_o distinct_o know_v than_o the_o great_a of_o philosopher_n that_o god_n alone_o be_v able_a to_o act_v in_o he_o and_o produce_v that_o sense_n of_o joy_n which_o he_o feel_v upon_o the_o consideration_n of_o his_o happiness_n and_o perfection_n this_o he_o know_v clear_o by_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n when_o he_o attend_v to_o it_o but_o not_o by_o any_o sensation_n which_o on_o the_o contrary_a teach_v he_o that_o his_o joy_n be_v a_o consequence_n of_o his_o perfection_n see_v he_o have_v the_o constant_a sense_n of_o it_o and_o that_o without_o any_o application_n on_o his_o part_n and_o so_o this_o sensation_n may_v lead_v he_o to_o consider_v his_o own_o perfection_n and_o take_v pleasure_n in_o himself_o if_o he_o either_o forget_v or_o any_o way_n lose_v sight_n of_o he_o who_o operation_n in_o we_o be_v not_o of_o a_o sensible_a nature_n so_o far_o will_v this_o joy_n have_v be_v from_o render_v he_o impeccable_a as_o be_v pretend_v that_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o may_v probable_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o his_o pride_n and_o fall_n and_o it_o be_v for_o this_o reason_n that_o i_o say_v in_o this_o chapter_n that_o adam_n ought_v to_o have_v take_v care_v not_o to_o have_v suffer_v the_o capacity_n of_o his_o mind_n to_o be_v fill_v with_o a_o presumptuous_a joy_n kindle_v in_o his_o soul_n upon_o reflection_n on_o his_o own_o natural_a perfection_n the_o illustration_n upon_o the_o five_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o book_n where_o i_o say_v that_o prevent_v delight_n be_v the_o

what_o he_o have_v merit_v but_o i_o name_v it_o so_o to_o distinguish_v it_o from_o the_o grace_n which_o god_n give_v adam_n in_o his_o creation_n which_o common_o we_o call_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o creator_n for_o the_o grace_n by_o which_o adam_n may_v have_v persevere_v in_o innocence_n be_v chief_o a_o grace_n of_o light_n or_o knowledge_n as_o i_o have_v explain_v in_o the_o forego_n

thing_n i_o divide_v pleasure_n into_o two_o sort_n the_o one_o sort_n precede_v reason_n as_o be_v agreeable_a sensation_n and_o go_v common_o by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o body_n the_o other_o sort_n neither_o precede_v reason_n nor_o the_o sense_n and_o be_v general_o call_v the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o soul_n such_o be_v the_o joy_n that_o arise_v in_o we_o in_o pursuance_n of_o a_o clear_a knowledge_n of_o confuse_a sensation_n we_o have_v of_o some_o good_a that_o either_o do_v or_o shall_v accrue_v to_o we_o for_o example_n a_o man_n in_o taste_v a_o fruit_n which_o he_o do_v not_o know_v find_v pleasure_n in_o eat_v it_o if_o it_o be_v good_a for_o nourishment_n which_o be_v a_o precede_a or_o prevent_v pleasure_n for_o since_o he_o feel_v it_o before_o he_o know_v whether_o the_o fruit_n be_v good_a it_o be_v evident_a it_o prevent_v his_o reason_n a_o huntsman_n when_o hungry_a expect_v to_o find_v or_o actual_o find_v something_o eatable_a which_o give_v he_o a_o actual_a sense_n of_o joy_n now_o this_o joy_n be_v a_o pleasure_n which_o follow_v the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o present_a or_o future_a good_a it_o be_v perhaps_o evident_a by_o this_o distinction_n of_o pleasure_n into_o that_o which_o follow_v and_o that_o which_o prevent_v reason_n that_o neither_o of_o they_o but_o differ_v from_o love_n for_o prevent_v pleasure_n undoubted_o precede_v love_n since_o it_o precede_v all_o knowledge_n which_o some_o way_n or_o other_o be_v always_o suppose_v by_o love_n on_o the_o contrary_a joy_n or_o the_o pleasure_n which_o suppose_v forego_v knowledge_n presuppose_v likewise_o love_n since_o joy_n suppose_v either_o a_o confuse_a sensation_n or_o a_o clear_a knowledge_n of_o the_o present_a or_o future_a possession_n of_o what_o we_o love_v for_o if_o we_o possess_v a_o thing_n for_o which_o we_o have_v no_o love_n we_o shall_v receive_v no_o joy_n from_o it_o therefore_o pleasure_n be_v very_o different_a from_o love_n since_o that_o which_o prevent_v reason_n prevent_v and_o cause_n love_n and_o that_o which_o follow_v reason_n necessary_o suppose_v love_n as_o a_o effect_n suppose_v the_o

without_o itself_o nevertheless_o a_o christian_a love_n his_o enemy_n and_o a_o well-educated_a child_n his_o father_n though_o never_o so_o irrational_a and_o unkind_a the_o sight_n of_o their_o

that_o be_v no_o way_n delightful_a i_o own_o they_o sometime_o have_v the_o sense_n of_o pleasure_n or_o joy_n upon_o the_o reflection_n that_o they_o perform_v their_o duty_n or_o upon_o the_o

though_o perhaps_o it_o may_v be_v the_o motive_n of_o it_o it_o sometime_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o motive_n of_o their_o act_n but_o it_o be_v only_o a_o abstract_n view_n of_o order_n or_o a_o notion_n of_o fear_n which_o preserve_v their_o love_n in_o one_o sense_n it_o may_v be_v true_o say_v they_o have_v a_o love_n for_o these_o person_n even_o whilst_o they_o do_v not_o think_v of_o they_o for_o love_n remain_v in_o we_o during_o the_o avocation_n of_o thought_n and_o in_o sleep_n but_o i_o conceive_v that_o pleasure_n have_v no_o long_o a_o substance_n in_o the_o soul_n than_o she_o be_v aware_a of_o it_o thus_o love_n or_o charity_n remain_v in_o we_o without_o pleasure_n or_o delectation_n can_v be_v maintain_v to_o be_v the_o very_a same_o thing_n since_o pleasure_n and_o pain_n be_v two_o contrary_n if_o pleasure_n be_v the_o same_o with_o love_n pain_n will_v not_o differ_v from_o hatred_n but_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o pain_n be_v different_a from_o hatred_n because_o it_o often_o subsist_v without_o it_o a_o man_n for_o instance_n who_o be_v wound_v unaware_o suffer_v a_o most_o real_a and_o cut_a pain_n whilst_o he_o be_v free_a from_o

raise_v it_o thus_o he_o hate_v not_o that_o cause_n of_o his_o pain_n though_o his_o pain_n move_v or_o dispose_v he_o to_o hatred_n it_o be_v true_a he_o deserve_o hate_v pain_n but_o the_o hatred_n of_o pain_n be_v not_o pain_n but_o suppose_v it_o hatred_n of_o pain_n do_v not_o merit_v our_o hatred_n as_o do_v pain_n for_o the_o former_a be_v on_o the_o contrary_a very_o agreeable_a in_o that_o we_o be_v please_v in_o hate_v it_o as_o we_o be_v displease_v in_o suffer_v it_o pain_n therefore_o not_o be_v hatred_n the_o pleasure_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o pain_n be_v not_o love_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o hatred_n and_o consequent_o the_o pleasure_n which_o be_v precedaneous_a to_o reason_n be_v not_o the_o same_o thing_n as_o love_n i_o prove_v likewise_o that_o joy_n or_o the_o pleasure_n which_o pursue_v reason_n be_v distinguish_v from_o love_n joy_n and_o sorrow_n be_v contrary_n if_o joy_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n with_o love_n sorrow_n and_o hatred_n will_v be_v all_o one_o but_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o sorrow_n differ_v from_o hatred_n because_o it_o sometime_o have_v a_o separate_a subsistence_n a_o man_n for_o example_n by_o chance_n find_v himself_o deprive_v of_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v need_n of_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v he_o sorrowful_a but_o it_o can_v provoke_v he_o to_o hatred_n either_o
because_o he_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v that_o deprive_v he_o of_o this_o necessary_a thing_n or_o because_o be_v unworthy_a of_o his_o hatred_n it_o can_v not_o excite_v it_o it_o be_v true_a this_o man_n hate_v the_o privation_n of_o the_o good_a which_o he_o love_v but_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o this_o kind_n of_o hatred_n be_v real_o love_n for_o he_o hate_v the_o privation_n of_o good_a mere_o because_o he_o love_v good_a and_o since_o to_o fly_v the_o privation_n of_o good_a be_v to_o tend_v towards_o good_a is_n be_v evident_a that_o the_o motion_n of_o his_o hatred_n be_v not_o different_a from_o that_o of_o his_o love_n therefore_o his_o hatred_n if_o he_o have_v any_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o his_o love_n and_o sorrow_n be_v always_o contrary_a to_o joy_n it_o be_v

something_o which_o we_o hate_v or_o rather_o from_o the_o absence_n of_o something_o which_o we_o love_n therefore_o sorrow_n suppose_v hatred_n or_o rather_o love_n but_o it_o be_v very_o
