that_o the_o passion_n which_o regard_v evil_a take_v in_o this_o sense_n be_v the_o same_o with_o those_o which_o regard_v good_a because_o in_o effect_n they_o have_v good_a likewise_o for_o their_o

for_o fear_v which_o produce_v sorrow_n be_v not_o a_o emotion_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o a_o simple_a judgement_n last_o if_o by_o evil_n we_o mean_v the_o person_n or_o thing_n which_o deprive_v we_o of_o good_a or_o make_v we_o suffer_v pain_n the_o idea_n of_o evil_n produce_v a_o motion_n of_o love_n and_o aversion_n together_o or_o simple_o a_o motion_n of_o aversion_n the_o idea_n of_o evil_n produce_v a_o motion_n of_o love_n and_o aversion_n together_o when_o the_o evil_a be_v what_o deprive_v we_o of_o a_o good_a for_o it_o be_v by_o the_o same_o motion_n that_o we_o incline_v towards_o

which_o make_v we_o suffer_v pain_n for_o it_o be_v by_o the_o same_o motion_n of_o aversion_n that_o we_o hate_v pain_n and_o whatever_o produce_v it_o thus_o there_o be_v three_o simple_a or_o

but_o when_o we_o come_v to_o consider_v attentive_o the_o idea_n we_o have_v of_o cause_n or_o power_n of_o act_v we_o can_v doubt_v but_o that_o it_o represent_v something_o divine_a for_o the_o

which_o bear_v it_o down_o neither_o do_v i_o pretend_v that_o man_n can_v do_v no_o good_a action_n without_o pre-engage_a delectation_n i_o have_v sufficient_o explain_v myself_o upon_o that_o

the_o joy_n or_o foretaste_a of_o eternal_a happiness_n be_v capable_a to_o resist_v the_o sensible_a charm_n of_o transitory_a pleasure_n it_o be_v true_a that_o delectation_n or_o actual_a grace_n
