CHAPTER V.

OF ENMITY AND HATRED.

The _colours_ or _common opinions_ concerning _hatred_, are to be taken from the _contrary_ of those which concern love and friendship.

_Hatred_ differs from anger in this; that anger regards only what is done to oneself; but _hatred_ not. And in this, that anger regards particulars only; the other, universals also. And in this, that anger is curable; hatred not. And in this, that anger seeks the vexation, hatred the damage, of one’s adversary. That with anger there is always joined grief; with hatred, not always. That anger may at length be satiated; but hatred never.

Hence it appears how the judge or auditor may be made _friend_ or _enemy_ to us, and how our adversary may be made appear _friend_ or _enemy_ to the judge; and how we may answer to our adversary, that would make us appear _enemies_ to him.
