so much as the Kindness of my best
Friend, who saw how apt my De∣sires
were to stray from him, and
therefore by these frequent Disap∣pointments
would have me learn
more Wisdom that to let loose my
Heart to that which cannot satis∣fie.
And though I have in some
measure rectified this Fault, yet
still I find an agreeable Movement
in my Soul towards her I love,
and a Displeasure and Pain when I
meet with Unkindness, which is a
strong Indication of somewhat
more than pure Benevolence; for
there's no Reason that we should
be uneasie because others won't let
us do them all the good we would.
And though your Distinction be
very ingenious, That we may
seek Creatures for our good, but
not love them as our good, yet
methinks 'tis too nice for common
