of_o conveyance_n it_o can_v be_v propagate_v from_o the_o intellectual_a part_n to_o the_o sensitive_a whereupon_o they_o affirm_v that_o none_o be_v capable_a of_o this_o sensitive_a passionate_a

be_v that_o to_o heighten_v our_o love_n of_o god_n in_o our_o religious_a address_n we_o endeavour_v to_o excite_v our_o passion_n by_o music_n which_o will_v be_v to_o as_o little_a purpose_n as_o the_o fanatic_a think_v be_v if_o there_o be_v not_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o the_o passionate_a love_n of_o god._n but_o then_o as_o to_o the_o objection_n i_o answer_v with_o the_o excellent_a

to_o stir_v up_o a_o heat_n about_o the_o heart_n and_o so_o kindle_v a_o very_a vehement_a passion_n to_o which_o i_o add_v that_o although_o the_o beauty_n or_o amiableness_n of_o god_n be_v not_o the_o same_o with_o that_o which_o we_o see_v in_o corporeal_a being_n and_o consequent_o can_v direct_o fall_v within_o the_o sphere_n of_o the_o imagination_n yet_o it_o be_v something_o analogous_a
