22  Unic,  15     |      shall now describe. When the Spirit of God is at work, there
23  Unic,  16     |          calculated to uplift the spirit in praises to God and to
24  Unic,  18     |           differs from "soul" or "spirit". They all seem the same
25  Unic,  18     |             This elevation of the spirit, or union, is wont to come
26  Unic,  18     |      greater in the flight of the spirit. It has become quite clear
27  Unic,  20     |           they call flight of the spirit, or transport -- it is all
28  Unic,  20     |          ground; and although the spirit draws it after itself, and

42  Unic,  23     |           sin; for, if it was the Spirit of God at work, I was obviously
43  Unic,  23     |          of these matters an evil spirit might be at work in me,

46  Unic,  24     |       that I was being led by the Spirit of God and that he thought
47  Unic,  24     |          should then transport my spirit, I should not resist Him

53  Unic,  25     |     distinguishing between a good spirit and an evil one. So it is
54  Unic,  25     |        signs, or to ask from what spirit it comes; for this is so

57  Unic,  26     |      proved to be due to the good spirit, to keep silence and say
58  Unic,  27     |       holy man lived; and yet his spirit was as robust as any in
59  Unic,  29     | frequently and seem to stifle the spirit. That is prayer of a much

64  Unic,  31     |      robbed me of much freedom of spirit; later I came to see that
65  Unic,  32     |           pleased to carry her in spirit to a place in hell which
66  Unic,  32     |   torments and that affliction of spirit, just as if my body had
67  Unic,  32     |     completely from the world. My spirit was restless, yet the restlessness
68  Unic,  33     |          thoroughly understood my spirit and desired its progress,

71  Unic,  33     |            I felt something in my spirit which I do not recall having
72  Unic,  33     |       that I was being led by the Spirit of God, having studied and
73  Unic,  34     |           that her most Christian spirit made up for what was lacking

76  Unic,  36     |         ever spent in my life; my spirit seemed to be divining all
77  Unic,  38     |          which God bears away the spirit in these transports and

79  Unic,  38     |        lost sight of the dove. My spirit was calmed by so gracious
