fenfesjand Co will make the animal vigilant and attentive to the 

 caufeof its feare or gricfe. 



But if the feare be ib great, that ircontradcth all the fpirits, 

 and quite hindcreth their motion (as in the cafe wee touched a' 

 bo ve ) then it leaveth aiib the nerves o f the fenfes dcftuute of 

 fpirics 5 and fo by too fbrong apprehension of a danger, the ani- 

 mal neither fcethnorapprehendeth.it .-but a* eaiily predpira- 

 tcth it felf into it, as it happeneth to avoydc it ; being meerly 

 governed by chance ; and may paradventurc feeme valiant. 

 through extremity of feare. 



Ana thui you fee in common, how all the naturall operations 

 of the body, doe follow by naturall confequence our of the pa 

 fions ofthe minde : without needing to attribute difcourie or 

 reafbn, either to men or beaftcs to perfbrme them. Although 

 at the fir/I iight/ome of them may appearc unto thofe that look 

 not into their principles and true cauies,to flow from a fburce of 

 i iteliigcnce t whereas it is evident by what we have layed open, 

 t'ley all proceed from the due ranging and ordering of quantita- 

 tive part i, fb or ib proportioned by rarity and den/ity. And 

 there is no doubt , but who would follow this fearch deeply, 

 might certainly retrive the reaibns of all thofe externall moti- 

 ons which we fee u(e to accompany the feverall paflions in men 

 andBeaftes. But for our intent, we have faid enough, to /hew 

 by what kind of order and courfe of nature, they may be effect- 

 ed ( without confining our (elves over icrupuloufly to every 

 c'rcumttance that we have touched ) and to give a hint, where- 

 by others that will make this inquiry their taske, may compile 

 an intire, and well grounded and intelligible doctrine of tl.is 

 matter. 



Only we will adde one advertifement more ; which is , that 

 thefe externall motion's caufed by pafsion, are of two kindes : 

 for fbme of them are as it were the beginnings of the actions, 

 \vhichnatureintendethtohavefollowoutof the pafsions that 

 cau/e them : but others are not onely bare fi^nes of palfion that 

 produce them, aad are made by the conneixon of parrs unne- 

 ceflfary for the maine action that is to follow out of the patfion, 

 with other parts that by the paflion are neceffarily moved: as for 

 example , when an hungry mans mouth watercth at the fight of 

 goodmeate, it is a kinde of beginning of eating, orofprepa-
