the Refort of Bloud to the Face ^ Which in the Pafiion of Slxime is the- 
Part that laboureth mod. And although the Blufbwg will be fecn in the 
whole Ereaft, if it be Naked, yet that is but in Paffage to the Facets . 
As for the Cafiing downe of the Eyes, it proceedeth of the Keuerence a 
Man beareth to other Men; Whereby,when he is afhamcd,he cannot 
endure to looke firmely vpon Others : And we fee that Blujhingi and 
the Cafiing downe of the Eyes both, are more when we come before Ma¬

vnderftood, that LaughingisCcaxce (properly) a Pafion, but hath his 
Source from the IntelleU • For in Laughing there euer precedeth a Con¬

And therefore Exhilaration hath fome Affinity with loy, though it be a
