I Know very well that in the Schools, that Passion which tends to the seeking after good, which onely is called Desire, is op∣posed to that which tends to the avoiding of evil, which is called Aversion but Secing there is no good, the privation; whereof is not an evil, nor any evil taken in the notion of a positive thing, the privation whereof is not good: for example, that in seeking after riches, a man necessarily es∣chewes
poverty; in avoiding diseases, he seekes after health; and so of the rest. Me thinkes, it is still the same motion which enclines to the seeking after good, and withall, to the avoyding evil, which is contrary to it, I onely observe this difference, that the desire he hath, when he tends towards some good, is accompanied with Love, and afterwards with Hope, and Joy: whereas the same Desire, when he tends to the avoyding an evil coutrary to this good, is attended with Hatred, Fear, and Sorrow: which is the rea∣son why it is conceived contrary to it self. But if it be considered when it relates equally at the same time to a good sought after, and an op∣posite evill to shunne it, it may be cleerly per∣ceived but one Passion onely which causeth both the one and the other.
