will_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o propension_n or_o inclination_n to_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o the_o more_o forcible_o or_o violent_o it_o be_v draw_v the_o more_o conformable_a it_o be_v to_o he_o inclination_n for_o that_o can_v be_v say_v to_o suffer_v violence_n which_o be_v move_v according_a to_o its_o natural_a disposition_n but_o the_o more_o forcible_o it_o be_v move_v towards_o its_o object_n the_o more_o delightful_o it_o work_v so_o that_o the_o rapt_n by_o reason_n they_o come_v with_o violence_n against_o the_o natural_a disposition_n can_v be_v in_o the_o will_n yet_o the_o vehemency_n of_o the_o affection_n of_o the_o will_n or_o sensitive_a appetite_n be_v often_o the_o cause_n of_o rapt_n when_o the_o soul_n do_v very_o forcible_o adhere_v to_o those_o thing_n which_o she_o do_v affect_v for_o by_o that_o force_n she_o do_v compel_v the_o know_a power_n to_o attend_v to_o the_o object_n which_o she_o do_v love_n as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o certain_a violence_n draw_v they_o from_o all_o other_o thing_n and_o the_o sensitive_a appetite_n do_v the_o same_o therefore_o they_o that_o natural_o have_v vehement_a inclination_n or_o affection_n must_v divert_v their_o mind_n to_o some_o other_o thing_n when_o they_o find_v their_o desire_n inflame_v lest_o they_o be_v deceive_v think_v that_o to_o be_v from_o god_n which_o be_v from_o nature_n or_o the_o devil_n for_o if_o it_o be_v from_o god_n though_o the_o soul_n endeavour_v to_o resist_v it_o all_o will_v be_v in_o vain_a for_o it_o will_v take_v effect_n 14._o note_v that_o in_o this_o a_o rapt_a do_v differ_v from_o a_o ecstasy_n that_o a_o ecstasy_n be_v without_o violence_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v in_o the_o will_n as_o be_v former_o say_v for_o it_o be_v but_o a_o go_v out_o of_o itself_o by_o love_n to_o what_o it_o do_v affect_v and_o a_o rapt_a be_v always_o with_o violence_n also_o the_o call_n or_o inward_a touch_n of_o god_n and_o certain_a abstraction_n by_o which_o his_o divine_a majesty_n do_v forcible_o draw_v the_o soul_n unto_o himself_o as_o her_o lord_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o rapt_n likewise_o by_o some_o light_n or_o inward_a flame_n also_o by_o some_o instillation_n of_o great_a sweetness_n into_o the_o sensitive_a appetite_n in_o like_a manner_n by_o a_o kind_n of_o secret_a whistle_n and_o many_o other_o unknowen_a way_n god_n do_v efficacious_o draw_v the_o soul_n to_o himself_o by_o which_o he_o do_v give_v her_o notice_n that_o he_o be_v absolute_a lord_n and_o creator_n of_o all_o 15._o moreover_o rapt_n do_v produce_v other_o effect_n in_o the_o body_n as_o its_o force_n to_o fail_v to_o wax_v cold_a to_o fall_v into_o a_o kind_n of_o dead_a fit_n to_o be_v elevate_v from_o the_o earth_n to_o hang_v in_o the_o air_n to_o be_v very_o light_a and_o agile_a as_o not_o have_v any_o weight_n there_o be_v other_o rapt_n which_o be_v not_o so_o forcible_a and_o be_v imperfect_a by_o which_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o so_o draw_v from_o the_o sense_n but_o she_o may_v speak_v some_o word_n and_o give_v out_o heany_o sigh_n and_o groan_n and_o sometime_o the_o vehemency_n be_v such_o that_o they_o cast_v blood_n and_o the_o body_n do_v tremble_v and_o shake_v with_o strange_a fit_n and_o they_o do_v leap_v run_v and_o cry_v out_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o excess_n of_o inward_a joy_n this_o be_v that_o celestial_a or_o
