     summary: Men also Loue famous persons , who by their vertue haue attained to an eminent glory , and an extraordinary reputation , bee it generally in the world , or only among good men , or among such as they haue in admiration , or by whom they themselues are admired ; and they especially make great shew of their affection , when as they presume , that these Persons in all their dignity and greatnes disdaine them not , but are wel pleased with the testimonies of their Passion ; so wee haue seene people runne by whole troupes from all the corners of the world , to see conquerours & such as did triumph ; men of holy life , and Persons indued with rare knowledge or wisedome , aboue the common sort of men . Aboue all , they haue an inclination to loue their like , being a thing which nature teacheth vs dayly , that resemblance ingenders Loue , not onely among men , but also among other creatures : for euery creature loues his like : Tygers & Panthers troop together with beasts of their owne kind : And birds of one fether fly willingly together ; such power hath resemblāce to vnite affectiōs : the which we must beleue is more powerful in man , who can haue no sweeter conuersatiō thē with his like .

     summary: Thus as the Stoike and Libertine placed their happinesse in meere stupiditie and blockishnesse , so the Epicure on the contrary , placing happinesse in the sense , and in such things as might best affect the same , for the enioying of present delight , and car●all appetite , as esteeming it no happinesse , which is ●ot by sense enioyed : ●onceiued therefore so ●nely of the soule , that it ●erued onely as salt , to keepe the body from pu●rifying , and make it sen●ible of delight , and so ●oncluded of the Affecti●ns , as to be onely the ef●ects of the Complexions ●nd Humors of the body , ●eruing onely to expresse ●heir naturall inclinations ●nd operations , to the sa●isfying of the Flesh : Wherein , as they plainely discouered their estranging from the life of God , through the ignorance that was in them , in their confining their Affections to 〈◊〉 carnall and senselesse pa●● of nature : I meane , th● body , separated from th● soule , whereby they v●terly excluded themselue● from all true notion o● the Deitie , from all tru● fellowship with Him which is onely attayne● by the Mind and Affect●ons thereof : so in thi● their prostituting of thes● noble affects of the diuin● soule to the guide & lur● of corruptible flesh : eue● wherein they seemed t● bee wise , they becam● fooles , cōfounding themselues in their owne imaginations , and ouerthrowing that sensuall happinesse which they fancied herein . And therefore , whereas the Ground , next vnto Faith , as of our worship of God , and dueties vnto Men , is Loue ; howsoeuer our affections are different in themselues , yet they must all be deriued from this principall affection of Loue : Wee must hope , grieue , reioyce , &c. because wee loue ; and loue must be the end and ayme of ●ll : Therefore wee are angrie , we feare , we hope , we ioy , that we may still loue , and make better way for the manifestation thereof .

     summary: To conclude this Chapter ; It may be , that some will expect , that I should prescribe some things to cause love ; as to teach them how to temper and spice an amatorious cup , and what time may be elected for the administring of it ; or how Love may be caused by natural Magick : but not knowing into whose hands the Book might come , neither do I write it to be an instrument ready tun'd for every wanton eye , tongue , and hand to play upon ; I forbear , lest more hurt then good come thereby : Love causeth him that doth love , to ingrave and imprint in his heart , that face and image which he loveth ; so that the heart of him that loveth is like unto a looking-glasse , in which the image of the party beloved shineth and is represented ; and doth as it were deprive himself of himself , and giveth himself to whom he loveth ; for the delights of love are commonly more in the imagination , then in the thing it self ; and the soul doth cast her eye upon those images which remain in the fancy , and looks upon them as if they were present .

     summary: If men account Exile cruel because it separates us from all the delights of our own Countrey , who will not own that the Tyranny of our Passions is the most severe of our torments , since they violently take us from our selves , deprive us of the power of Reason , and rob us of that liberty which the most unfortunate retain under a load of Irons ? Fortune , which hath set up that unjust distinction amongst men , and created Lords and Vassals , hath no influence upon Passions ; as she abandons great men to the fidelity of their Servants , she commits the meaner sort to the discretion of their Superiours , and she is so little absolute in her Government , that we often see the Slaves give Laws to them that command : some find ways to be their Masters Companions by the assiduity of their services , and others have been made free for their fidelity : some others are comforted in their bondage that they have but one Master to satisfie , and do easily perswade themselves that an ordinary ingenuity will serve to please a mans humor with whom we daily converse . For although men are seldom in one mind , that novelty robs us of that happiness , and that we change our opinions as often as the objects vary ; yet is it certain in this point that Gold is profitable to man , that it assists him in his wants , that it opens him the Gates of publique employment , and that he raiseth his fortunes by honorable Alliances .

     summary: I will conclude then , that I commit Errors in passion , not because I am naturaly prone to Passions , nor because I want an omniscious Understanding : but only because I make not a right use of that finite indeed , yet sufficient Vnderstanding God hath given me , in the conduct of that Cupidity my passions excite in me . In no other thing ( saith he ) but in the repugnancy that is between the motions which the Body by its spirits , and those which the Soul by her will , do at the same time endeavour to excite in the Glandula Pinealis in the brain , consist all the Conflicts which Men commonly imagin betwixt the inferior part of the Soul , which is named the Sensitive , and the Superior , which is called the Rational , or betwixt the appetites natural and the will.
