The second branch of this first Fundamental Cause was an Hindering of the projects and purposes of another, which is not only a Privative (as the former) but a Positive and Real Injury, which includes that other, and adds unto it, as being not only a slighting, but an assault upon us; no• an Opinion only, but an Expression of our weakness; a course so much the more likely to insenc• nature, and make it swell, by how much violent and opposition, is more sensible in motion than in rest. So that these two former Injuries, I think I may well compare to a Bank, and to a Bridge, or some other stops to a River in his course: Whereof the former doth Confine the River, and not Op pose it, as not hindering it in its direct and natural motion (which it rather helpeth by more uniting the parts) but only in a motion Lateral and indirect, which nature intended not; and therefore herein we see not any manifest fretting and noise, but only a secret swelling and rising of the water, which breaks not into outrage and violence: But the Latter resisting the natural course of the stream in its own Chanel, and standing directly cross, where the Nature should pass, makes it, not only in time to overswell on all sides, but in the mean time works in it great tumult & noise.
