ll. 13-18. _Must businesse thee from hence remove, &c._ 'It is a good definition of ill-love, that St. Chrysostom gives, that it is _Animae vacantis passio_, a passion of an empty soul, of an idle mind. For fill a man with business, and he hath no room for such love.' _Sermons_ 26. 384. PAGE =24=. THE ANNIVERSARIE. l. 3. _The Sun itselfe, which makes times, as they passe_: i.e. which makes times and seasons as they pass. Before the Sunne, the which fram'd daies, was fram'd. _The Second Anniversary_, l. 23. The construction is somewhat of an anacoluthon, the sun alone being given the predicate, 'Is elder by a year,' which has to be supplied with all the other subjects in the first two lines. Chambers, inadvertently or from some copy of _1633_, reads 'time', and this makes 'they' refer back to 'Kings, favourites', &c. This does not improve the construction. l. 22. _But wee no more, then all the rest._ The 'wee' of every MS. which I have consulted seems to me certainly the correct reading. The 'now' of all the printed editions is due to the editor of _1633_ imagining that he got thereby the right antithesis to 'then'. But he was too hasty, for the antithesis is between 'then' when we are in heaven, and now while we are 'here upon earth'. In heaven indeed we shall be 'throughly blest', but _all_ in heaven are equally happy, whereas here on earth, we'are kings and none but we Can be such kings, nor of such subjects be. The 'none but we' is the extreme antithesis to 'But we no more than all the rest'. The Scholastic Philosophy held, not indeed that all in heaven are equally blest, but that all are equally content. Basing themselves on the verse, 'In domo Patris mei mansiones multae sunt,' John xiv. 2, they argued that the blessed have in varying degree according to their merit, the essential happiness of Heaven which is the vision of God: Only who have enjoy'd The sight of God, in fulnesse, can think it; For it is both the object and the wit. This is essential joy, where neither hee Can suffer diminution, nor wee; 'Tis such a full, and such a filling good; Had th'Angells once look'd on him they had stood. _The Second Anniversary_, ll. 140-6 (p. 264).
