The 79th Article. The definitions of Love and hatred.
LOve is an emotion of the Soul, caused by the motion of the spirits, which incite it to joyn in will to the objects which seem convenient to her, and hatred is an emotion, cau∣sed by the spirits which incite the soul, to will to be separated from objects represented, to be hurtfull to her, I say these emotions are caused by the Spirits to distinguish Love and Hatred which are Passions and depend of the body, as well from the judgements that encline the Soul to joyn in Will to the things she esteems good, and separate from those shee esteemes evill, as from the emotions which these Judgements alone excite in the Soul.
