Love Of Contention From Competition Competition of Riches, Honour, command, or other power, enclineth to Contention, Enmity, and War:  because the way of one Competitor, to the attaining of his desire, is to kill, subdue, supplant, or repell the other.  Particularly, competition of praise, enclineth to a reverence of Antiquity.  For men contend with the living, not with the dead; to these ascribing more than due, that they may obscure the glory of the other.

Civil Obedience From Love Of Ease Desire of Ease, and sensuall Delight, disposeth men to obey a common Power:  because by such Desires, a man doth abandon the protection might be hoped for from his own Industry, and labour.

From Feare Of Death Or Wounds Fear of Death, and Wounds, disposeth to the same; and for the same reason.  On the contrary, needy men, and hardy, not contented with their present condition; as also, all men that are ambitious of Military command, are enclined to continue the causes of warre; and to stirre up trouble and sedition:  for there is no honour Military but by warre; nor any such hope to mend an ill game, as by causing a new shuffle.

And From Love Of Arts Desire of Knowledge, and Arts of Peace, enclineth men to obey a common Power:  For such Desire, containeth a desire of leasure; and consequently protection from some other Power than their own.

Love Of Vertue, From Love Of Praise Desire of Praise, disposeth to laudable actions, such as please them whose judgement they value; for of these men whom we contemn, we contemn also the Praises.  Desire of Fame after death does the same.  And though after death, there be no sense of the praise given us on Earth, as being joyes, that are either swallowed up in the unspeakable joyes of Heaven, or extinguished in the extreme torments of Hell:  yet is not such Fame vain; because men have a present delight therein, from the foresight of it, and of the benefit that may rebound thereby to their posterity:  which though they now see not, yet they imagine; and any thing that is pleasure in the sense, the same also is pleasure in the imagination.

Hate, From Difficulty Of Requiting Great Benefits To have received from one, to whom we think our selves equall, greater benefits than there is hope to Requite, disposeth to counterfiet love; but really secret hatred; and puts a man into the estate of a desperate debtor, that in declining the sight of his creditor, tacitely wishes him there, where he might never see him more.  For benefits oblige; and obligation is thraldome; which is to ones equall, hateful.  But to have received benefits from one, whom we acknowledge our superiour, enclines to love; because the obligation is no new depession:  and cheerfull acceptation, (which men call Gratitude,) is such an honour done to the obliger, as is taken generally for retribution.  Also to receive benefits, though from an equall, or inferiour, as long as there is hope of requitall, disposeth to love:  for in the intention of the receiver, the obligation is of ayd, and service mutuall; from whence proceedeth an Emulation of who shall exceed in benefiting; the most noble and profitable contention possible; wherein the victor is pleased with his victory, and the other revenged by confessing it.
