Affections.
HE used this trial of his affections; as of anger, grief, joy, or such like, in this manner: If by them he was made less fit to pray; more unable to do the good he should, less careful to avoid sin; then he thought1 his affection carnal and evil, and not of God: but when his anger, love, grief, and other affections provoked him more to pray, and made him fitter to do good, then he thought his affections to be sent from God, as a blessing unto him.
