CHAP. VI.
The place Luke 24. 32. Did not our heart burn, &c. is opened. 2. Believers can tell the history of the actings of the Spirit. 3. Feelings may be strongest after the actings of the Spirit. 4. The differences between literal heat and spiritual heat in many particulars. 5. And betwixt the Spirits actings with the Word, and Enthusiastical raptures. There be other holy dispositions most considerable, specially these. 1. Burning of heart. 2. Enlargedness of heart 3. Fixedness of heart. 4. Love-sickness after Christ. Besides these there be special dispositions to pray, to praise, to submit to God, to adore, to walk humbly, to walk circumspectly and tenderly, and such like; but most of them may be reduced to these.
Now to speak of the burning of the heart, the place Luke 24. 32. is clear. The two disciples having parted with Christ, now risen from the dead, and not knowing him to be Christ, 32. they say one to another, Did not our hearts burn within us when he spake to us in the way, and opened to us the Scriptures?
