1 The point of resemblance was in the object (by 2 hypothesis), when we regarded it with pleasure or pain, thus 3 (III. xiv.), when the mind is affected by the image thereof, it 4 will straightway be affected by one or the other emotion, and 5 consequently the thing, which we perceive to have the same point 6 of resemblance, will be accidentally (III. xv.) a cause of 7 pleasure or pain. Thus (by the foregoing Corollary), although 8 the point in which the two objects resemble one another be not 9 the efficient cause of the emotion, we shall still regard the 10 first–named object with love or hate.
