Every One Of Our Passions And Affections

Every One Of Our Passions And Affections Hath Its Natural Stint And Bound, Which May Easily Be Exceeded; Whereas Our Enjoyments Can Possibly Be But In A Determinate Measure And Degree.

Remember Likewise There Are Persons Who Love Fewer Words, An Inoffensive Sort Of People, And Who Deserve Some Regard, Though Of Too Still And Composed Tempers For You.

God Almighty Is, To Be Sure, Unmoved By Passion Or Appetite, Unchanged By Affection; But Then It Is To Be Added That He Neither Sees Nor Hears Nor Perceives Things By Any Senses Like Ours; But In A Manner Infinitely More Perfect.

The Principle We Call Self-love Never Seeks Anything External For The Sake Of The Thing, But Only As A Means Of Happiness Or Good: Particular Affections Rest In The External Things Themselves.

Every Man Hath A General Desire Of His Own Happiness; And Likewise A Variety Of Particular Affections, Passions, And Appetites To Particular External Objects.
