¶Of Sorrowe, the last of all Perturbations. Chap. 24.
WE are nowe come to the last of the fowre springes or fountaines of Perturbations, which is Sorrow: whose property is to cause in the mind of man, a byting griefe, and vexation: euen as Feare causeth a ••light and departing of the minde: and as Pleasure rayseth an ouer prodigall merinesse: and Luste an vnbridled appetite. And as we haue the others both defined, and deuided into their partes and properties: so wyll we lykewise declare what Sorrowe is, and

how many braunches spring out of her. It is defined of Cicero to be a freshe con∣ceipt, of a present Euyll. In Latin it is called Aegritudo, which hath another na∣ture then Aegrotat••o. For as wryteth Cicero, the one Aegritudo, is a vexation of minde, and the other Aegrotatio, is a sicknesse of the bodie. This Sorrowe, the Stoikes call griefe, and dolor, & they saye it is an vnmeasurable contraction of the minde, a Perturbation altogether contrary to Pleasure, Lust, or Feare. Out of her springes, Pittie, Enuie, E∣mulation, Backbiting, Freating, Sad∣nesse, Sorrowfulnesse, Bewayling, Troublesomnesse, Lamentation, Care∣fulnesse, Molestation, Afflictation, and Despayre. Of euery one of these lyke∣wise, as of the rest we wyll speake some what, and explicate their natures.
