NAZIANZ. Orat. 16.

How am I joyned to this body, I know not; which when it is healthfull, provokes me to warre, and being damaged by warre, affects me with grief; which I both love as a fellow servant, and hate as an utter enemy: It is a pleasant foe, and a perfidious friend: O strange Conjunction and Alienation! What I feare I embrace, and what I love I am afraid of; Before I make warre, I am reconcil'd; Before I enjoy peace, I am at variance.
