Then if there be such a natural commerce of Powers betwixt them, that the ill estate of the one offends the other, why should not the medicines for one cure the other? Yet it will not you see. Heimihi quod nullus amor est medicabilis herbis. Nay then Doctor, since you cannot make any reasonable Connexion of these two contrarieties the mind and the body, making both subject to passion, wherein you confound the substances of both, I must tell you there is no disease of the mind but one, and that is Ignorance. Why what is love? is not that a disease of the mind? Nothing so for it springs naturally out of the blood, nor are we subject to any disease, or sorrow, whose causes or effects simply and natively concern the body, that the mind by any means partaketh, nor are there any passions in the Soul, for where there are no affections, there are no passions: And Affectus your master Galen refers parts irascents, For illic est anima sentiens vbi sunt affectus: Therefore the Rational Soul cannot be there also. But you know we use to say, my mind gives me this or that, even in those addictions that concern the body. We use to say so indeed, and from that use comes the abuse of all knowledge, and her practise, for when the object in question only concerns the state of the body? why should the soul be sorry or glad for it? if she willingly mix herself, than she is a fool, if of necessity and against her will, A slave, And so, far from that wisdom, and freedom that the Empress of Reason, and an eternal Substance should comprehend. Divinely spoken Sir, but very Paradoxically. Who's there? ay, my Lord. Bring hither the key of the gallery, methought I heard the Doctor and my friend. I did so sure. Peace then a while my Lord We will be bold to eavesdrop; For I know My friend is as respective in his chamber And by himself, of any thing he does As in a Critic Synods curious eyes Following therein Pythagoras' golden rule. Maximè omnium teipsum reverere. Know you the Countess Eugenia Sir? Exceeding well Sir, she's a good learned scholar. Then I perceive you know her well indeed. methinks you two should use much conference. Alas sir, we do very seldom meet, For her estate, and mine are so unequal, And then her knowledge passeth mine so far That I hold much to sacred a respect, Of her high virtues to let mine attend them. Pardon me Sir, this humbleness cannot flow Out of your judgement but from passion. Indeed I do account that passion, The very high perfection of my mind, That is excited by her excellence, And therefore willingly, and gladly feel it. For what was spoken of the most chaste Queen Of rich Pasiaca may be said of her. Antevenit sortem moribus virtutibus Annos, Sexum animo, morum Nobilitate Genus.

Heimihi quod nullus aor est medicabilis herbis.
