Thesis XXVII. They go on to say that once the mind has been enlightened and the will given supernatural power, partly by enlightening and partly by a direct infusion of strength, God also corrects our affections and that sensitive part of us. He moves them with good desires, whose objects the intellect points out and whose acts the will commands.
As those affections are corrected, disciplined and brought into order more and more, the will becomes readier, easier and less hindered in practising acts of devotion, since the affections and that law at war in our members no longer fight back as much as before.
Latin
XXVII. Deinde subjungunt mente illuminata, & voluntati concessa supernaturali potentia, partim per illuminationem, partim per virium immediatam infusionem, Deum quoque affectus nostros, & partem illam sensitivam corrigere, & bonis desideriis, quorum objecta monstrat intellectus, actus vero imperat voluntas, afficere; quibus affectibus magis, magisque correctis, castigatis, & in ordinem redactis, promptior & facilior, ac minus impedita postmodum redditur voluntas ad exercendos pietatis actus, non usque adeo, uti ante, reluctantibus affectibus, & lege illa in membris belligerante.
