2 Grief for any loss or hazard of the thing desired. As the Sea-mans needle which is jogged and troubled, never leaves moving till it find the North point againe. Flagrantia sunt 1animorum desideria cum solatia perdiderun•, as the Orator spake. Desires burn hottest when they are in danger of disappointment.

3 Weariness and Indignation against any thing which standeth between Desire and the fruition1 of that which is desired. Vehementior per menus & pericula exibit: That which resisteth increaseth it. As a River goes with more strength where it is hindered and withstood. The Church did venture blows when she sought her Love, and like the Palm Tree rose up above her pressures:2 plures efficimur quóties metimur a vobis, as ⟨p. 183⟩Tertullian speaks to the Heathen. The more you mow us down, the thicker we grow; the more we suffer for him, the more we love and desire him. Saint Paul careth not for a dissolution▪ that he may go to Christ, as a stone is contented to be broken in pieces, that it may move to its place.
