OF BODIES, Ghap.XXXV. 



moved to compafTe wholefome and good things.Which Etymo- 

 logy of the word leemeth uncome more natural!, then from the 

 phrenefy/rom whence fbme derive hjbecaufea great diftemper 

 or inflammation in the Diaphragma.ofcen caufeth thatdifeafe. 



Now , becaufe the object is conveyed from the braine to the 

 heart fbme part of its way ..by the fame pafTage., as the motion of 

 the heart is reconycyed back to the braine , it muft of neceifity 

 follow, that who is more attentive to outward fenfe, doth Jefle 

 confider or refleft upon his paffion;and who is more attentive to 

 obferve , and be governed by what pafleth in his heart, is lefle 

 wrought^ upon by externall things. For if his fantafy draweth 

 firoiagly unto it,, the emanations from outward agents upon the 

 fenies, the ftreame of thole emanations will defcendf ttrongly 

 from the overfilled fantafy into the heart,, that it will hinder the 

 afcent of any fewer and weaker fpirits by the fame pipe. But if 

 the current do fet ftrongeft upwards, from the heart by the Dia- 

 phragma to the braine, then it will fo fill the pipe by which it aC- 

 cendeth,that little of a weaker tyde can mike a contrary eddy 

 water in the fame channel!. 



And by this meanes , nature eflfe&eth a fecond pleafure or 

 painc in a living creature, which movethit ( oftentimes very 

 povverfully)in abfence of the primary objeft.-as we may obferve, 

 when thinking ofany pleafing or difpleafingaftion, we find about 

 our heart a motion which enticeth us to it or averteth us from 

 it : for as the firft pleafure was oceafioned by the jftroake^ which 

 the object applyed to the outward fenfe, made upon the fantafy, 

 (which can judge of nothing without being ftrucken by it jfo the 

 fecond pleafure fpringeth from the fpirits moved in the heart, 

 by meflengers from the Braine , which by the Diaphragma do 

 rebound a ttroake back againe upon the fantafy. And from 

 hence it proceedeth , that memory delighteth or affli^leth us ; 

 and that we think of patt things with fwcetnefle or with remorfe : 

 and thereby afliiefadion is wrought in beatts, as farrc as the 

 appetitive part doth contribute thereunto, to perfeft what was 

 begun in their cognofcitive part, 1 by the ingreffion ofcorpo- 

 real fpcciefes into their fantafy,in order to the fame eeffec\as we bodio as atot 

 have toothed before. 



But now let us examine,how fo final! a quantity ofa body, as
