this Word Pleafure, what is the true fenfe 

 and notion of it. 



Tleafure is that agreeable and delightful 

 Senfe that is excited in the Soul, either by 

 an impreffion or motion made upon the 

 outward Organs or Senfation, by any fuita- 

 ble Objeft, 'and conveyed by the Nerves to 

 the Brain ; or elfe by internal confideration 

 and reflection upon any Objeft or Adion 

 by the underftanding. Thofe are called 

 pleafant Taites or Smells which are apt to 

 caufe fuch a gentle motion of the Nerves 

 belonging to the Organs of thofe Senfes, 

 the Tongue and Nofe ; as is naturally de- 

 ftined to excite a grateful and delicious 

 fenfe in the Soul : Thofe deleftable Sights, 

 which in like manner affeft our Eyes, as cu- 

 rious Pictures and Statues, artificial En- 

 gines, elegant and regular Motions : Thofe 

 agreeable Sounds which have a charming 

 influence *on our Ears, as Mufick and Har- 

 mony. The Touch or Feeling is gratified 

 and delighted by various Motions of thofe 

 Nerves which do not minifter to the other 

 Senfes. 



To the Senfes of Touch and Tafte, ap- 

 pertain thofe Pleafures, which by the wife 

 Providence of God are annexed to the fa- 

 tisfaftion of our natural Appetites.
