causing the body to stand erect from its position | this is the great door that has begun to be opened before a person | and is the putting into effect of the gift of God | this is not one of the small gifts and partial comforts that apply to everyone. | It is after this that we should run, my brother | and seek for this and place it as the aim for our ministry. | Also concerning these matters it is not right to make too many words | this suffices on this subject. | 3.3.38, pp. 149-50
