A third Effect, which I shall observe of Love, is Stay, and immoration of the Mind upon the Object loved, and a diverting of it from all others: as we observed in Eumaeus, when he saw Telemachus, he threw away the Business which he was about before: And the Woman of Samaria, being ⟨p. 103⟩transported with the love of Christ, left her Pitcher, which she had brought to the Well, that she might go and call others unto his Doctrine: And Mary left the thoughts of entertaining Christ at the Table, out of an extraordinary desire to entertain him in her heart. And this effect the Poet hath excellently expressed in Dido; who having showed before a marvellous Princely wisdom and sedulity, in fortifying her new Kingdom, and viewing the Works her self, (as he had before described) as soon as she was once transported by the love of Aeneas, then all stood still on a sudden.
