The last cause which I shall observe of Hatred may be a settled and permanent Intuition of the object, a penetrating, jealous, and interpreting fancy: because by this means a redoubled search and review doth generate a kind of habitual detestation; it being the nature of Evil commonly to show worse at the second or third view. And that first, because the former Act doth work a prejudice, and thereby the after apprehension comes not naked, but with a fore-stalled resolution of finding Evil therein: and next, because from a serious and fastened search into the Object the faculty gaineth a greater acquaintance with it, and by consequence a more vehement dislike of it, the former knowledge being a master and light unto the latter. But light and wandering fancies (though they may be more sudden in the apprehensive of Evil, and by consequence liable to an oftener Anger, yet by reason of the volubility of the mind joined with an infirmity and unexercise of memory, they are for this cause the less subject to deep and rooted hatred.
