The human understanding is no dry light but receives infusion from the will and affections; whence proceed the sciences which may be called "sciences as one would." For what a mad had rather were true, he more readily believes.
Therefore, he rejects difficult things from impatience of research, sober things because they narrow hope; the deeper things of nature, from superstition; the light of experience, from arrogance and pride; things not commonly believed, out of deference to the opinion of the vulgar.
Numberless are the ways, and sometimes imperceptible, in which the affections color and infect the understanding
