The Soul of Man. Anima hominis.

[Illustration]

The _Soul_ is the Life of the Body, one in the whole. _Anima_ est vita corporis, una in toto.

Only _Vegetative_ in _Plants_; Tantùm _Vegetativa_ in _Plantis_;

Withal _Sensitive_ in _Animals_; Simul _Sensitiva_ in _Animalibus_;

And also rational in _Men_. Etiam _Rationalis_ in _Homine_.

This consisteth in three things; Hæc consistet in tribus:

In the _Understanding_, whereby it judgeth and understandeth a thing good and evil, or true, or apparent. In _Mente_ (Intellectu) quâ cognoscit, & intelligit, bonum ac malum, vel verum, vel apparens.

In the _Will_, whereby it chooseth, and desireth, or rejecteth, and misliketh a thing known. In _Voluntate_, quâ eligit, & concupiscit, aut rejicit, & aversatur cognitum.

In the _Mind_, whereby it pursueth the Good chosen or avoideth the Evil rejected. In _Animo_, quo prosequitur Bonum electum, vel fugit Malum rejectum.

Hence is _Hope_ and _Fear_ in the desire, and dislike. Hinc _Spes_ & _Timor_, in cupidine, & aversatione:

Hence is _Love_ and _Joy_, in the Fruition: Hinc _Amor_ & _Gaudium_, in fruitione:

But _Anger_ and _Grief_, in suffering. Sed _Ira_ ac _Dolor_, in passione.

The true judgment of a thing is _Knowledge_; the false, is _Error_, _Opinion_ and _Suspicion_. Vera cognitio rei, est _Scientia_; falsa, _Error_, _Opinio_, _Suspicio_.
