Motions of intellect and of will

Thesis XXIX. These good motions concern either the intellect or the will. Those of the intellect are inward illuminations and devout thoughts sent by God, in a word any enlightenings and inspirations that lead the mind to know saving truth.

Those of the will are devout desires and saving motions and affections that touch the will directly.

Latin

XXIX. Boni autem illi motus, vel intellectum spectant, quales sunt internae illuminationes & cogitationes piae a Deo immissae, ac uno verbo quaelibet illustrationes & inspirationes, quibus mens in veritatis salutiferae notitiam ducitur: vel voluntatem, ut pia desideria & salutares motus atque affectus, quibus immediate voluntas afficitur.
