impassionateness

— I may not but conjecture that Doctor Hamond is better learned in this kinde of ſcience then my ſelf, having vantage ground of me in years, ſtudy and experience, and yet he hath gone farther in diſcovering himſelf, and his paſſions then thus, in his Vindication againſt E. P. and (contrary to his profeſſed impaſſionateneſs) hath ſo far betrayed himſelf, as to tranſmit the Image and Character of the perturbation and paſſionate heat of his ſpirit, by his Pen, to the view of the world, as his ſaid Vindication will manifeſtly teſtify.

— I pour out my whole soul to you. I write by fleeting intervals: my pen runs away with my senses. The impassionateness of my sensations grows upon me.
