1 An emotion, which is a passion, is a confused idea (by 2 the general Def. of the Emotions). If, therefore, we form a 3 clear and distinct idea of a given emotion, that idea will only 4 be distinguished from the emotion, in so far as it is referred to 5 the mind only, by reason (II. xxi., and note); therefore (III. 6 iii.), the emotion will cease to be a passion.
