Here we see the great care of God,1 who would not have his children to receive these visions by senses imperfectly: but that they might throughly understand, know, believe, and carry them away in faithful memory, he delivered them in ecstasies and trances, the mind then being no whit hindered with fellowship of the body, but freed from the same.
