We may further observe, that there is a leading Passion almost in every one, to which the Temper of their Body inclines, and on which the rest do in a manner wholly depend, especially if it be confirm’d by Education and Custom, so that if we duly manage _this_, we have the Command of all. Some are more subject to _Fear_, some to _Hope_, to _Joy_, _Sorrow_ or the like, than others; but _Love_ seems to be the predominant Passion in every one, and that which makes one of the former more remarkable than another, is only because it has been oftner mixt with Love. And indeed, since this is at the bottom of all the Passions, one wou’d think they’re nothing else but different Modifications of it, occasion’d by some Circumstance in the Subject or Object of this Passion. Thus _Desire_ is a Love to Good consider’d as Future; _Hope_ the Passion that disposes us to believe we may, and _Fear_ that we shall not obtain it. _Joy_ is a pleasant Commotion of the Soul in the Fruition of the Good we Love; and _Sorrow_ a disagreeable one occasion’d by the want of it, or presence of its contrary. The like may be said of the rest, for even _Hatred_ tho it appear directly opposite to Love, may be refer’d to it, the very same motion that carrys the Soul towards Good, carrying her also from those things which wou’d deprive her of it, which on that account are call’d Evils, and why do we Hate any thing, but because it does some way or other hinder our Enjoyment of what we Love? If therefore our Love be Right, the rest of our Passions will of course be so; and our Love which is _a motion of the Soul to joyn it self to that which appears to be grateful to it_, will then be right when our Notions of Good and Evil are; That is, when we do not take up with Imaginary or Particular, but pass on to the Sovereign Good, to GOD who is the only proper and adequate Object of our Love, as Sin is of our Hatred, all things else being no otherwise to be Pursued or Avoided, than in proportion to the Relation they bear to these. So that if we Love GOD with _All_ our Soul, as He certainly Deserves, and as we certainly Must if we wou’d be Happy; we shall be so taken up with the Contemplation and _Admiration_ of his Beauties, have so boundless an _Esteem_, such an awful _Veneration_ for, and so great a _Contempt_ of all things in Comparison of Him; that our _Desires_ will be carried out after nothing but GOD, and such things as may further our Union with Him. His Favour, and the Light of His Countenance will be the Object of our _Hopes_, nor shall we much _Fear_ any thing but His Displeasure. No _Grief_ will pierce our Heart but for our many Offences against, and our Imperfect _Enjoyment of Him_. _We shall perfectly Hate all evil ways_, be _Jealous_ of Sin at the remotest distance, and _suspect_ every thing that has the least appearance of a Temptation. We shall be extremely Watchful over all our Actions, and never Resolve upon any till we’re fully assur’d it is conformable to his Will and
