This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 
to make the world’s books discoverable online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that’s often difficult to discover. 

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book’s long journey from the 
publisher to a library and finally to you. 


Usage guidelines 


Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the 
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to 
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying. 

We also ask that you: 


+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for 
personal, non-commercial purposes. 


+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google’s system: If you are conducting research on machine 
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the 
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help. 


+ Maintain attribution The Google “watermark” you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find 
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it. 


+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just 
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other 
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can’t offer guidance on whether any specific use of 
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book’s appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner 
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

The ftrength of evety thing ,’ is excerifed by 
Oppofition: We fee not the-violence ofa River 
tillic meet witha Bridge ; and the’ force of the

reptiring the breaches, and fetling the mutinies, 
wherewith untamed Affections difquiet the peace 
of mans nature sfince exce/fe and difordér in things 
otherwife of fo great ufe requireth amendment, 
Not extirpation ; and we make ftraight a crooked 
thing , we doe not breake it. And therefore, as he 


| in Tacitus fpake well to othe, when he was about 


to kilkhimlelf, Atajore asimo tolerari aduerfa quam. 
relingai ; That it was more valour to beare, than 


_ put off afflictions with courage :.fo there is more 


honour, iat he having <fections fubdued, than i in 
having none atall;the bufineffe ofa wife min, is 

not to be. without them, but to be abeve them. 
And therefore our * Saviour himfelfe. fometimes

-+ times def red, fometimes mourned and: ‘greived-s

Sea, which bangeth up sire and dire; but the 
Pafftons of Chrift were like the fhaking of pure 
Water ina cleane Vefiell, which though it be 
thereby troubled, yet itis not fested at all. 

The Stoicks themfelves confefled,that wife men 
might be affected with a fuddes perturbations of 
| Fearor Sorrow,but did not like weak men yeeld

.therefore do not require an unlimited Paffion, 
-but one governed according to the Exigence of 
‘Circumftances. | 7 
And here I fhall take notice of one or two partt- 
culars touching the manner of corruption in this } 
particular. As firft, when a man fhall apply his he- 
‘tred of profecution, -or ill willing againft.that Evill, 
which is the proper obje& onely of Averfaion : 
for fome things there are onely of conditional] 
evils, hich hurt not by their own abfolute being, 
but by their particular ufe or prefence, which 
being offenfive onely in their a pplication require 
a particular forbearance, not any further vio. 
lence to their natures. | 
Secondly, a Corruption in regard of intenfion 
is either when the Paffton admits not of any ad-

and Faculties of the Soule, 


Hatred contenteth not itfelr with the death 
of an Enemy , but is many times prodigious in 
the manner of it, and after out-lives that which 
at haceth , infulting with pride and indignities 


over the dead body which cannot complain, nor 


otherwife,but by its own loathfomneffe, revenge 
‘aitfelf Caligula, that monfter of men, when he 
commanded any to be flain, gave this charge 
with it, Jt fer at fe mori fextiat , that he (hould 
perifh with fuch lingring blowes,as that he might 
feel himfelf todie. And he often commanded 
aged mento ftand by and look upon the flaugh- 
ter of their children, and after would force them 
-unto mirth and feafting, for fear of their others 
which were left alive: for, to have mourned for 
one, would have forfeited the others. And for in- 
dignities offered unto dead bodies, there is no- 
thing which more frequently .occurreth. The 
Philiftines cut off the head of Sas/, and fent it in 
Triumph up and down their Country:. And the 
Hiftorian notes of orho,that he never looked with 
more infatiable delight upon any {pedtacle, then 
the head of Pifo hisenemy. So when the Greci- 
ans faw the dead' body offedfor,every man(as the 
Poet deferibes it), did beftowa ftab anda con- 
gempt upon it. But above al), moft hateful was 


the cruelty ef Marc. Antonius and his wife Fal- |; 


via, fhewed on the dead body of Cicero the glory 


of the Romane eloquence : they cut off his head 


and his hands, {etting them, in contempt, where 
he was wont to deliver thofe excellent Orations;

the Jews. And itis noted by Hiftorians, that

| canfe: quando inique: When Matred is built upon 


a bad foundation, it commonly raifeth it felf the 
higher. Andthe reafon is, becaufe in Paflions 
of this Nature, the leffe we have fromthe ObjeQ, 
she more we have from our felves; and what ts 
defe&tive to make up our malice inthe demerit 
of him whom we hate, is fupplyed by the nfing 
of our own ftomacke : as we fee in the body that 
thin and empty nourifhment will more ofte 
{well it then that which is fubftantiall. | 
And therefore I thinke there are not any Ex- 
amples of more implacable Hatred, then thofe 
that are by Exvy grounded on Merit. As Tacitus 


| obferves between the paflages. of Domitian and.|_ 

| Agricola, that nothing did fo much ftrengthen| ~

in he-had been imployed. And the fame likewife 
he intimates in the affections of Tiberius and Pife 
towardsGermanicus. = 

It 1s wifely therfore obferved by the Hifto- 
rian, That men of vaft and various imployments, 
have ufually the unhappinefle of Exvy attending 


them, which therefore they have fometimes de- |. 
clined by retyring and withdrawing themfelves |. 


from continuall addrefles,as a wife mariner, who 


(ashe {pake) doth sliquantulum remisttere Clavum |

And the reafon I take it is, becaufe Griefe is

waies : by Contemplation , by Confidence, and by whe meiiaei 
Fraition: by thinking of it inthe Mind, byex-| 
pedcting of it in the Heart, and by enjoying it 
in the whole Man. | 
Contemplation addes unto the Soule a double 
delight : Firft,from its owne property, it bemg. 
the proper and natural agitation:of mans mind3. 
infomuch that thofe things which.we abhor to 
know experimentally, our curious and:contem- 
plative nature defires to know {peculatively. :

a And therefore the devils firft temptation was 
drawne frem the knowledge as well of evil as 
good; for he knew that the mind of, man would 
receive content in the underftanding of that, 
which inits ownnature had no perfection 1n it. 

But then fecondly , in the object of true de- 

| ligt, Contemplation miniftreth a farther joy,in 
that it doth in fome fort preunite our fouls and 

| our bleffednes together : arfd this is partly the 

| reafon why.4ré/torle {o much advanceth his con- 

_ .-| templative before his practique felicity : For 
| though this in regard of its immediat reference 
unto communion, be of a more fpreading and 
diffufive Nature; yet certainly, in that fweetnes 

of content, that ferenity of foul that exaltation 

of thoughts which we receive from thofe noble 
motions of the higher mind, the other doth far 

in pleafure and fatisfaction furpaffe all active 
happines.And hence we fee in the parts of mans 
body,thofe which are (ifI may fo {peak) more 
contemplative, have precedence to thofe that 

are more practique. The parts of Vifion are be- 
fore the parts of A Gian,the right eye is prefer- 

red beforethe righthand. Thus we may ob- 
fervein God himfelf ( notwithftanding in him 

| there can be neither acceffion nor intermiffion 
of delight)yet by way of expreflion to us ward, 
he:dad not in the creation of the world fomuch 

joy in his fiat, as in his vsaét; not fo much when 

| he gave his créatures their natwre,as when he (aw 

_ | thetr geadses: Nature being the objet of Power :

and Faculties of the Soul , 


the aay of his reit waS more holy than the days 
of his working, that being appointed for the 
Contemplation,as thefe were for the predutti- 
on of his creatures. | 
And as Contemplation by way of Prefcience, 
when it looketli forward on good things hoped: 
So alfo by way of memory, when it looketh back- 
ward and receiveth evil things efcaped, doth 
minifter matter of renewed Joy. No Man look- 
eth on the Sea with more comfort,than he who 
hath efcaped a fhipwrack. And therefore when 
I{rael faw the Egyptians dead on the Sea fhore, | 
| the fear of whom had fo much affrighted them 
before,they then fang a fong of Triumph. Paft 
troublesdofeafon , andasit were ballaft pre- 
fent Comforts,as the Snow in Winter inceafeth 
the beauty of the Spring. 

But in this particular of Contemplation notwith 
{tanding the excellency of it, there may be cor- 
ruption in the excefle (For in thofe matters of 
delight, except they be fuch as are difproporti- 
oned to our.corrupt Nature ; Imean divine 
things, we feldom erre in the other extreme. ) 
And that is, when we do not divide our felves 
between our parts, and let every one execute 
his proper function , fo toattend upon meere} 
‘mental notions, as tonegle& the praGtical part 
of our life , atid withdraw our felves from the |

‘Jration of the Caufes and Effects ofthis Paffion, 
The Fundamentall and. Effentiall Caufe,of.

the loveof our felves, Whether it be difeftima- 
tion and undervaluing of a mans perfon,or difap-. 
pointment ofhis purpofcs, or flandering his good 
name orany other way of cafting injury on him, 
or any of thefe particulars being impatred( if by: [anes 
fuch on whom we may hope to receive revenge) 
doe worke notonly Anxiety and Griefe (which is 
a motion of flight) but hope alfo and: defire to 
cafe it felfe, ifnot inthe recovery of its own lofle, 
yet in the comfort ofanother mans: For Calami-

For every man doth more willingly beleeve that,

The next Quality in the Injurer, whic

‘the Fundamental! and Effentiall Caufe of An-

| Secondly, becaufe all Impudence is bold, ftiffe 
and contentious, which are all incitements to 
this Paffion. For as Shame being a degree of

Secondly, to a Plenary, Sponrareous Attion, 
(fach as { take moh of Impudence to be) there 
ate-requirdd Antectdemfer, Deliberation, A pproba-

away the erro priticipall conditions required unto 
Lenity, Confeffion and Repentance ; fo likewife 
doc they adde much ro the weight of an injury: 
‘becaule an action. which is thus exercifed, is a 
work of the whole Man, and imployes,is 2 perfect

miry toward the perfon offendeth thereby: W ber- 
as others are but the s of fome part, fach as

of Paffion, led by a traduced Underftanding ; and 
they too not of a part regular,but of an Unjomted

the more accurate inquiry intothem doth ma. 
nuduct us. And this Subordination ftandeth in 
four things: 1. All things are fubordinate un- 
ta God in * Being. He only hath Being per Efen- 
tiam , By Abfolute and Original Effence; all 
other things per participationem, by derivation.

For God doth not make hiscreatures as a Car-

from him, that Being cannot be or continue with- 
out his fupportance , as light in the houfe de-

proportionable Objeds of equall latitude in

|that be not wanting to the Excellenteft of 
Creatures, which all the reftdo enjoy. Since 
then the fupreme Appetite of the Reafonable

But befides all thefe, there is one thing which 
feemeth to be the moft proper Corrupter of this 
Ornament of Speech. and that ira Lye. For as 
every thing is then moft Regular when it retains 
the purity ofits firft office and thftitution : Soon 
the other fide itis moft depraved, when it deviates 
from that fervice whereunto it was princi 
ordained. Thus a Picture, though it benever{o

which it beares,be exprefie and lively, we ftill call

deceitfull refemblance (be all other adventitious 
Ornaments never fo exquifite }) we {till accompt 
it Falfe and Corrupt : So it is with the Speech of 
man, which though ‘of never fo great Weaknefle 
and Infufficiency in other refpetts; yet #fit retain 









ceipts of the mind,and make levell and proportt-

firft inftitution : But.be all other Excellencies

Firft, it may be Vaconformable to the Law of:

hereby it incurres, is common to it with other 
‘Faculties , as the difproportion between Evill

worketh Corruption in the thoughts. : 
And then fecondly it may be difproportioned 
tothe Conceits of the Mind in propofing rhem

is properly a Lye. Which I therefore call the

Now for the Corrupters of. tlie Wit, rhough 
there be diverfes yet none fo immediate and cer-

Sundry Ends there are, which may be défired 
upon particular and conditional! occafions : but 
the true Vitimate, utmost, and Abjolute Good is 
God. Allother Ends are Myniftring and Subordi- | 
nates he only is kupit raver & Apyerenrévsuoy, as Ari- 


ftotle cals his Felicity, the Supreame & overruling 


End; the Fountaine of all other Goods :. from

therefore fome Philofophers have fimply called 
hin Bork ~~ Bonum Supereffentiale. the only 
Self-Suftaining, and Self-Depending Good, that 


‘is onely able thoroughly to fatiate and replenifh 


the unlimited Defires of the Soul of man. 

_ The Corruptions. of the ‘Defires faftened on 
him, are thetwo Extremes of Ekcefleand Defed- 
The Extremes of Exceffe are Sdper tition and Ido- 
latry5 worfhipping of falfe gads, or a falfe wor- 
fhipping of the True. Both proceeds from the 
confufed mixture of Originalf Blindneffe, with 
the reliques of naturall Knowlédge, This latter 


' 


gives us a fight in the Thefis ard Generall, that a 
God there is to be defired : But touching the Hy- 

‘| pothefis, who that God is, with the circumftan- 
‘ces and manner of his Worfhip, Nature leaveth 

_ {the Soule by occafion’ of the latter m a. maze 


of Darkneffe-and unavoydable Doubting: and

The other Extreeme of Defect, 1s either Athei/me, 
in not acknowledging,or Ignorance in not {eeing, 
that God whom we ought to ferve and defire. 
Both which ( if Afefed and Voluntary,4s ufually 
they are) proceed either from Guilt, or a Con/c7- 
onfneffe of fearefull Crimes, which make men 
ftudy to flatter their diftracted Spirits in the per- 
{wafion that no Iudge fees them; or elfe from a 
Senfuality and a Defre and purpofe to give In- 
dulgence to themfelves in their evill courte thin- 
king like that foolifh Bird,that thereis no Fowler 
tocatch, no {naretointrap them, iftheir Eyes be 
but feiled up, and their heads thruft into the 
hedge of their owne darkneffe : Though herein 
both the Atheifts difcovers Divinity, and the Ig- 
norant perfon Knowledge enough to convince 
their owrie Confciences, and condemne them-

The Dignity of mans Will in regard of Liber-

chufe or reject Means ordained for the Compaf- 
fing fome propofed Eid, according asthe Under-

it fhall never be able to Will an Abfence from 
the Vifion of God 5 fince the Liberty of fuck a 
Defire would be no Liberty, but Imperfection 
and unnaturalnefie. Now of all other Perfections, 
this hath, in re{pect of the utmoft End, bin quite 
Depraved, being now in Corruption;without the 

{tance of Spirituall or new Infufed Grace, 
throughly difinabled from feeking means, which 
may truly lead to the fruition of God,and utterly 
captivated and inthralled to the Tyranny of Sin. 
So that this Liberty is left inviolated, onely in

The Dominion and Supreme Command of the

‘Authority concurreas an Abfolute Efficient, orat 
Jeaft, as a Moving Agent.It teachethnot therefore

ther teaeheth it toan Vniverfall Command ofthe 

| Senfes 3 but onely by the Mediation of another 

Faculty, over which it hath more Soveraigne 

Power: As it can hinder Seeing.not immediately, 

but by the Locomotive Power,by clofing the Eyes. , 

And the fameis true of the Inward Senfes; for 

the Memory and Imagination often faften upon 

Objedts, which the Defire ofthe Willis, fhould 

not be any way reprefented unto thofe Powers : 

So likewife in the Senfitive Appetite, when once 

Objects belonging thereunto, creep.updn the | 

Fancy, Irregular motions oftentimes violently 

refiftthe Will, and the Law of the Members 

carrieth men captive from the Law of the Mind. 

Laftly, the Will hath no Dominion Abfolute 

and Soveraigne over thofe Apprehenfions of the 

Under ftanding, which depend on neceflary and 

demonftrative Principles: It can require it not to | : 

_difcourfe about fuch Objects, and divert it3 but 

it cannot make it affent unto them contrary ‘to 

the Evidence of Truth demonttrated. Briefly 

then, the Dominion of the Will is partly Man- 

datory, and partly Perfwafive, The one is Abfo- 

Jute, working on meere Paffive and. Obedient 

Facultiessthe other more Conditiona!l,and upon 

-Suppofition of Regularity or Subjection in the

| Appetite,as Subjes,with which by reafon oftheir 
often Rebellions, ic hapneth to have fundry con- 
flifts and troubles: as Princes from their fedittous

of this Powerin the Wil, is either Tyranny in 
it felfe, or U/#rpation mm another; An abufe of it, 
anda Reftraint of it. The Absfe, when the Will 
abfolutely gainfayes the Counfels, Lawes, and 
Direftions of the Vnderftanding, which is 
wrought by the Alledion, Inticing, & Infinuation 
of the Sex/rtive Appetite,fecretlywinning over the 
Will to the Approbation of thofe courts, which 
are moft delightful to fenfe:for fince the Fall,the 
{weet Harmony and Subordination of Senfe to 
Reafon,and of Reafon to God is broken;and the 
higheft Faculties of the Soule become -them- 
(elves Senfuall and Carnafl. And the Reftraint 
when the Willis defirous to obey the Didtates 
of Reafon, or of Graces and Luft by her tyranny 
over-beares the Soule and leads it Captive to the 
Law of Sinne,fo that a man cannot do the things
