PART II.
i. Charity: without it faith a mere notion. Na-
turally framed to it, having no antipathies;
contemn nothing but the multitude. A rabble
among the gentry, a nobility without heraldry. 107.
ii. Proper motives of charity. A phytognomy or
physiognomy of plants and animals. Chiro-
mancy. Difference of faces.
iii. The act of charity hath many branches.
Na-
110.
kedness of the soul to be apparelled. Contro-
versies need not passion. Merciless pens. 114.
iv. Uncharity to whole nations. The community
of sin doth not disparage goodness. Self-love.
Hard to judge others, since no man knows
himself.
Unselfishness. Sympathy. Friendship; its pow-
erfulness. Three mystical unions: two na-
tures in one person; three persons in one
nature; one soul in two bodies....
v.
..
vi. Wonders in true affection: the soul its object.
To pray for our enemies no harsh precept.
vii. No such injury as revenge; no such revenge as
contempt of an injury. Man a mass of anti-
pathies. Charity to ourselves to be at vari-
ance with our vices..
viii. Father-sin of pride escaped. A common and school philosophy for the reason of others; a reserved and experimental for mine own. ....

Vanity of toiling for the knowledge which death gives every fool gratis.
ix. Marriage.
128.
Harmony: an hieroglyphical and shadowed lesson of the whole creation. Incu- ·
rables in physic, law, divinity. No catholicon but death.
x. No man bad. Poisons contain their own anti-
dote. 'Lord defend me from myself,' part of
my litany. Nothing truly alone but God...
xi. My life a miracle of thirty years. Dreams. Are
we not all asleep? and the conceits of this life
mere dreams to those of the next?.....
xiii. Avarice a deplorable piece of madness, beyond
the power of hellebore. We may be liberal
without wealth. Poor men may build hospi-
tals, and erect cathedrals. Purblind statists.
xiv. Charity; to love God for himself, and our neigh-
bour for God. All that we truly love is in-
visible...
