Following this threefold progress, our mind has three principal aspects.

One refers to the external body, wherefore it is called animality or

sensuality; the second looks inward and into itself, wherefore it is called

spirit; the third looks above itself, wherefore it is called mind. From all

of which considerations it ought to be so disposed for ascending as a whole

into God that it may love Him with all its mind, with all its heart, and

with all its soul [Mark, 12, 30]. And in this consists both the perfect

observance of the Law and Christian wisdom.
