And this Civill use of Passion, is copiously handled in a learned and excellent discourse of Aristotle, in the second Book of his Rhetorics; unto which profession, in this respect, it properly belongeth: because in matter of Action, and of Judicature, Affection in some sort is an Auditor, or Judge, as he speaks. But it seemeth strange, that a man of so vast sufficiency and judgement; and who had, as we may well conjecture, an Ambition to knit every Science into an entire Body, which in other mens Labours lay broken and scattered; should yet in his Books De Animâ over-pass the discovery of their Nature, Essence, Operation a•d Properties; and in his Books of Moral Philosophy, should not remember to acquaint us with the Indifferency, Irregularity, Subordination▪ Rebellion, Conspiracy, Discords, Causes, Effects; consequences of each particular of them, being circumstances of obvious and daily use in our Life, and of necessary and singular benefit, to give light unto the government of right Reason.
