by_o some_o kind_n of_o tickle_v which_o exciting_a the_o passion_n of_o joy_n in_o she_o breed_v afterward_o love_n of_o that_o she_o believe_v to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o at_o last_o

five_o very_a useful_a in_o behalf_n of_o the_o body_n and_o indeed_o that_o sadness_n be_v in_o some_o sort_n superior_a to_o and_o more_o necessary_a than_o joy_n and_o hatred_n than_o love_n because_o it_o be_v of_o more_o moment_n to_o repel_v thing_n noxious_a and_o destructive_a than_o to_o acquire_v such_o as_o add_v some_o kind_n of_o perfection_n without_o which_o it_o be_v

have_v and_o all_o irrational_a creature_n regulate_v their_o life_n only_o by_o corporal_a motion_n resemble_v those_o which_o in_o we_o use_v to_o follow_v they_o and_o whereunto_o they_o incite_v our_o soul_n to_o consent_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o always_o good_a see_v there_o be_v many_o thing_n hurtful_a to_o the_o body_n which_o at_o first_o cause_n not_o any_o sadness_n nor_o yet_o confer_v joy_n and_o other_o beneficial_a to_o it_o though_o at_o first_o they_o be_v incommodious_a and_o beside_o they_o most_o common_o make_v the_o evil_n and_o good_n they_o represent_v to_o we_o seem_v much_o great_a and_o weighty_a than_o they_o be_v so_o that_o they_o incite_v we_o to_o seek_v after_o the_o one_o and_o avoid_v the_o other_o with_o more_o vehemency_n and_o anxiety_n than_o be_v convenient_a as_o we_o see_v beast_n be_v often_o entrap_v by_o bait_n and_o to_o shun_v little_a evil_n they_o precipitate_v themselves_o into_o great_a wherefore_o we_o ought_v to_o make_v use_n of_o our_o experience_n and_o reason_n to_o distinguish_v good_a from_o evil_n and_o know_v their_o just_a value_n that_o we_o may_v not_o take_v one_o for_o the_o other_o nor_o addict_v ourselves_o to_o any_o thing_n excessive_o the_o 139th_o article_n of_o the_o use_n of_o the_o same_o passion_n as_o they_o relate_v to_o the_o soul_n and_o first_o of_o love_n this_o be_v sufficient_a if_o we_o have_v only_o a_o body_n or_o if_o that_o be_v our_o better_a part_n but_o see_v it_o be_v the_o least_o we_o ought_v chief_o to_o consider_v the_o passion_n as_o they_o relate_v to_o the_o soul_n in_o respect_n whereof_o love_n and_o hatred_n proceed_v from_o knowledge_n and_o precede_v joy_n and_o sadness_n except_o when_o these_o two_o last_o hold_v the_o place_n of_o knowledge_n whereof_o those_o be_v sort_n and_o when_o this_o knowledge_n be_v true_a that_o be_v when_o the_o thing_n it_o incline_v we_o to_o love_v be_v true_o good_a and_o those_o it_o incline_v we_o to_o hate_n be_v true_o evil_a than_o love_n be_v incomparable_a better_o than_o hatred_n nor_o can_v it_o be_v too_o great_a or_o fail_v to_o produce_v joy_n i_o say_v this_o love_n be_v extraordinary_a good_a because_o join_v true_a good_n to_o we_o it_o make_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o perfect_a i_o say_v also_o that_o it_o can_v be_v too_o great_a for_o what_o the_o most_o excessive_a can_v do_v be_v but_o to_o join_v we_o so_o absolute_o to_o those_o good_n that_o we_o put_v distinction_n between_o the_o love_n we_o bear_v to_o that_o and_o ourselves_o which_o i_o believe_v can_v be_v evil_a and_o it_o be_v necessary_o follow_v by_o joy_n because_o it_o represent_v what_o we_o love_v as_o a_o good_a be-belonging_a to_o we_o the_o 140_o article_n of_o hatred_n hatred_n on_o the_o contrary_a can_v be_v so_o small_a but_o it_o hurt_v and_o it_o be_v never_o without_o sadness_n i_o say_v it_o can_v be_v too_o small_a because_o we_o be_v not_o incite_v by_o hatred_n to_o any_o action_n but_o what_o we_o may_v be_v by_o love_n of_o the_o good_a contrary_n to_o it_o at_o least_o when_o this_o good_a and_o evil_a be_v enough_o understand_v for_o i_o confess_v that_o the_o hatred_n of_o evil_n which_o be_v not_o manifest_v but_o by_o pain_n be_v necessary_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o body_n but_o i_o speak_v here_o of_o that_o which_o proceed_v from_o a_o more_o clear_a knowledge_n and_o i_o attribute_v it_o only_o to_o the_o soul_n i_o say_v also_o that_o it_o be_v never_o without_o sadness_n because_o evil_a be_v but_o a_o privation_n it_o can_v be_v conceive_v without_o some_o real_a subject_n wherein_o it_o be_v and_o there_o be_v nothing_o real_a but_o have_v some_o goodness_n in_o it_o so_o that_o the_o hatred_n which_o make_v we_o refrain_v from_o evil_a do_v also_o make_v we_o refrain_v from_o the_o good_a whereunto_o it_o be_v annex_v and_o the_o privation_n of_o this_o good_a be_v represent_v to_o our_o soul_n as_o a_o defect_n in_o she_o excite_v sadness_n for_o example_n the_o hatred_n which_o make_v we_o refrain_v from_o the_o evil_a manner_n of_o any_o one_o do_v by_o the_o same_o mean_n make_v we_o refrain_v from_o his_o conversation_n wherein_o we_o may_v otherwise_o find_v some_o good_a which_o we_o be_v vex_v to_o be_v deprive_v of_o and_o so_o in_o all_o other_o kind_n of_o hatred_n some_o subject_n of_o sadness_n may_v be_v observe_v the_o 141._o article_n of_o desire_n joy_n and_o sadness_n for_o desire_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o when_o it_o proceed_v from_o a_o true_a knowledge_n it_o can_v be_v evil_a provide_v it_o be_v not_o immoderate_a and_o that_o this_o knowledge_n regulate_v it_o it_o be_v evident_a also_o that_o joy_n can_v choose_v but_o be_v good_a nor_o sadness_n but_o be_v evil_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o soul_n because_o in_o the_o last_o consist_v all_o the_o inconvenience_n that_o the_o soul_n receive_v by_o evil_a and_o in_o the_o first_o all_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o good_a belong_v to_o she_o so_o that_o if_o we_o have_v no_o body_n i_o dare_v say_v we_o can_v not_o give_v ourselves_o up_o too_o much_o to_o love_n and_o joy_n nor_o too_o much_o shun_v hatred_n and_o sadness_n but_o the_o corporal_a motion_n that_o accompany_v they_o may_v be_v all_o hurtful_a to_o the_o health_n when_o they_o be_v very_o violent_a and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n useful_a when_o they_o be_v but_o moderate_a the_o 142_o article_n of_o joy_n and_o love_n compare_v with_o sadness_n and_o hatred_n furthermore_o since_o hatred_n and_o sadness_n ought_v to_o be_v reject_v by_o the_o soul_n even_o then_o when_o they_o proceed_v from_o a_o true_a knowledge_n much_o more_o ought_v they_o to_o be_v when_o they_o come_v from_o any_o false_a opinion_n but_o it_o may_v be_v doubt_v whether_o love_n and_o joy_n be_v good_a or_o no_o when_o they_o likewise_o be_v ill_o ground_v and_o i_o think_v if_o it_o be_v only_o consider_v what_o they_o be_v precise_o in_o themselves_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o soul_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o although_o the_o joy_n be_v less_o solid_a and_o the_o love_n less_o advantageous_a then_o when_o they_o have_v a_o better_a foundation_n they_o be_v at_o the_o worst_a to_o be_v prefer_v before_o sadness_n and_o hatred_n as_o ill_o ground_v so_o that_o in_o the_o occurrence_n of_o life_n where_o we_o can_v avoid_v the_o hazard_n of_o be_v deceive_v we_o do_v always_o best_o to_o lean_v to_o those_o passion_n which_o tend_v towards_o good_a than_o those_o which_o have_v relation_n to_o evil_a although_o it_o be_v to_o shun_v it_o nay_o sometime_o a_o false_a joy_n be_v better_a than_o a_o sadness_n from_o a_o true_a cause_n but_o i_o dare_v not_o say_v the_o same_o of_o love_n in_o relation_n to_o hatred_n for_o when_o hatred_n be_v just_a it_o remove_v we_o not_o from_o any_o thing_n but_o the_o subject_n which_o contain_v the_o evil_n from_o which_o it_o be_v good_a to_o be_v separate_v whereas_o unjust_a love_n join_v we_o to_o hurtful_a thing_n or_o at_o least_o to_o such_o as_o desire_v not_o to_o be_v so_o much_o consider_v by_o we_o as_o they_o be_v which_o devour_v and_o abase_v we_o the_o 143_o

when_o they_o be_v consider_v precise_o in_o themselves_o and_o incline_v we_o not_o to_o any_o action_n for_o see_v they_o excite_v desire_n in_o we_o by_o who_o interposition_n they_o regulate_v our_o manner_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o all_o those_o that_o come_v from_o a_o wrong_a cause_n may_v hurt_v and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n those_o that_o come_v of_o a_o just_a cause_n may_v be_v
