~J i #ot ts Be Doubted, bat that the following Piece
{taken from a late Papery called Trs Worrp), will
Juit & world of our Readers.
[ is a vnlgar Notion, and worthy of the Vulgar,
I for it is both falf= and absurd, that Passionate Peo
k. ple are the best natured People in the World. 7bey
are & livile bafiy, it istrue s a Trifie avi!] put them in
a Fury 3 awd whife thiyare in that Fury, they niither
Frnww nor -cave subat 1y fay or do . But then, as son as
ir i 3 gucr, they are extremely sorry and penitent jor any
Dijury ov Bifehief they did. ‘This Panegyric on these.
chateric good natured People, when examined and fim
plified, smcants in plain common Sense and Englith to
this ; that they are Good natured when they are not
il na-ured ; and that when in their Fits of Rage they
have {aid or done Things that ave brought them to
Jail or the Gallows, they are exwremely {orry for it.
{t isird:cd highly probable that they are; but where
is ihe Peparation to those whose Reputations, Limbs,
or Lives they have either wounded or destroyed ? This
Coucern comes too late, and is only for themselves.
Self Love was the Cause of the lnjury, and the only
Muotive of the Repentance.
Fiad these farious People real Good Nature, their
£t OFence wouald betheir Jaft ; and they would refoive
ar 2’| Rvents pever to relapse. The Moment they teit
their Choler rising, they would enjoin themselves 2n
ehfolnte Silence and Inaétion, and by thatfudden Check
rather expale themselves to a Momentary Ridicuie (
which, by the Way, would be followed by aniverfal
Agplaufe) than run the leat Rilk of being irreparably
Magchiavous.
[ know it is said in their Behalf, that this Impulse
ts> Wrath is cenflitutionally {fo sudden and {o strong,
that they cannot ftifle it, even in its Birth : But Expe
rience thews us, that this Allegation is notoriously falfe ;
for we daily observe that these formy Peifons both can
2nd do lzy those Gusts of Passion, when awed by Ke
fpe®, retirained by Interest, or intimidated by Fear.
The moit catragenns Foriofa does got give a loole ta
his Ancerin Presence of his Sovereion, or his Mifirefs ;.
ror the expeftant Heir in Presence 61 tae peeviis Du
tard frorn whom he Hopes for an laheritance. The
foll citng Courtier, though perhaps uader the frongeit
Provocations, from anjuft Delays and broken Promutes,
cs.m'y {wailows his vnavaliug Wrath, disguises it even
ueder 3miies, and gently waus for mere favourable
% amects : Nor does the Criminal fiy in a Paflion at
his Judze or his Jury.
i here is thea put one solid Excuse to be alledgedin
favsar of thele People ; and if they will frankly urge
i: 1 will candidly admit ir, becaale it points out its own
Penmiedy. I.mean, let them fairly confels themselves
Bad, 5 they most ungueftionably aiz : For what Plea
canthofe who are frantic tea Times a Day, buriug a

many miuch mors harmlels Madmen are confined in
their Lells in Bedlam for being [Mad oaly onceina

evs Dr. Manro, that such of his Patients who werere
aly of a good-patured Difpafition, and whoin their
locid Lnzervals, wetre allowed the Liberty of walking
absut the Hofpital,would frequently, when they found
the previeus Symptoms of theu returning Madaels, vo-
Juntaniy apply for Confinement, conscious of the M.

fhors have bluntly asserted, thatthis is in general the
Czfe of the i ¥reft Parcof our Spefies, whose great Vi
vacity does not always allow them Time t 0 realon
Conlequenuaily, but hurries thcx’:}‘; irto Testiness upon
the lealt Oppclitian to their Will. But at the {a%
Time, with all the Partialicy which I have for them,
and nobody can bave more than | have, 1 must con
fels that in al! their Debates, 1 have moch more admi
red the Copiouineis of their Réesoric, than the Con
clufivenels of wozir Logic, :
People of strong aniaal Spirits, warm Conflitutions,
and 2 cold Geuius (8 molt unforterate and ridiculous,
though common Compound) are moit wrafcible Ani
mals, and very dangerous ia their Wrath. They are
adlive, puzziing, biandering, and petaiantly enterpri
zing and perievering. They areimpatient of the lealt
Contradiction, having neither Argy nentsnor Words to
reply with ; and the animal Part of their Composition
bursts out into furious FExplofions, which have often
mischievous Consequences. INothing is tOO outrageous
or criminal for them to fay or do i these Fits ; butas
the Beginning of their Frenzy is easily discoverable by
their glaring Eyes, inflamed Counienances, and rapid
Motions ; the Company, as Ceuiervators of Peace
(which by the Way, cvery Man &, “ill the Authority of
a Magistrate canbe procured) fhonld forcibly seize these -
Madmen, and confine themin ths mean Time, in foine
dark Closer, Vault, or Coal-Hole.
Men of nice Hoasur, without ene Grain of common
Haonefty (for such there are) are wonderfully combulti
hle. The Honourable is to fuppert and protect the
Dihenourable Part of their Charader. The Confci
oufnnels of their Guilt makes them both fore and jealous.
Thare is another very irascible “ort of Luman Api
mals, whose Madness proceeds from Pride. These are |
generally the People, who having jaft Fortanes fuffici
ent to live idle and ufelefls to Society, create themselves
Gentlemen, and are fcropulonifly Tender of the Rank
and Dignity which they have not, They require the
moare Refpzé, from being confeicus that they have no
Right (¢ afry. They conitiie eves ;ifh'n‘% intg = Slighti

frequently end in Affav’t and Ba tery, to the great

[ have known many young Felows, who at their firlt
setting out into the World, or in the Army, have fima- _
lated a Pallion which they did got feel, merely as an
Indication of Spirit, which Word is fz\{ely locked upun
as {ynonymous with Courage. | They dress and lock
Fierce, swear Enormously, and syse Furiously, seduced
by that popuiar, Word Sprric. jiur [ beg Leave to in

be the Refaft of Reflection and i’?;me.
Our great Creator has wifely, given us Passions, to
rouse us into Adtion, and to enyage our Gratitude to
him by the Pleasures they proce us; but at the fame
