Simul Sensitiva, in Animalibus;
Etiam Rationalis, in Homine.
Haec consistit in tribus:

Anima est vita corporis, in toto una:
Tantùm Vegetativa, in Plantis;
Simul Sensitiva, in Animalibus;
Etiam Rationalis, in Homine.
Haec consistit in tribus:
In Mente (Intellectu)
quâ cognoscit & intelligit, Bonum ac Malum, vel verum, vel apparens;
In Voluntate, quâ eligit & concupiscit, aut rejicit & aversatur cognitum;
In Animo, quo prosequitur Bonum electum, vel fugit Malum rejectum.
Hinc Spes, & Timor, in cupidine & aversatione.
Hinc Amor & Gaudium, in fruitione:
Sed Ira ac Dolor, in passione.
Vera rei cognitio, est Scientia; falsa, Error; Opinio, Suspicio.
The Soul is the life of the body, one in the whole:
Only Vegetative in Plants. Withal sensitive in Animals;
And also Rational in man.
This consisteth in three things;
In the understanding
whereby it judgeth, and understandeth a thing good and evill, or true or apparent;
In the will, whereby it chooseth, and desireth, or rejecteth or misliketh a thing known.
In the Mind, whereby it pursueth the good chosen; or avoideth the evill rejected.
Hence is hope, and Fear, in the desire and dislike;
Hence is love and joy, in the fruition;
But Anger, and Grief, in suffering.
The true judgment of a thing is Knowledge; the false is Error, Opinion, and Suspition.
