And if the Excesses be madnesse, there is no doubt but the Passions themselves, when they tend to Evill, are degrees of the same.
(For example,) Though the effect of folly, in them that are possessed of an opinion of being inspired, be not visible alwayes in one man, by any very extravagant action, that proceedeth from such Passion; yet when many of them conspire together, the Rage of the whole multitude is visible enough.

For what argument of Madnesse can there be greater, than to clamour, strike, and throw stones at our best friends?
Yet this is somewhat lesse than such a multitude will do.

For they will clamour, fight against, and destroy those, by whom all their lifetime before, they have been protected, and secured from injury.

And if this be Madnesse in the multitude, it is the same in every particular man.

For as in the middest of the sea, though a man perceive no sound of that part of the water next him; yet he is well assured, that part contributes as much, to the Roaring of the Sea, as any other part, of the same quantity: so also, thought wee perceive no great unquietnesse, in one, or two men; yet we may be well assured, that their singular Passions, are parts of the Seditious roaring of a troubled Nation.
