360. We will now explain how love, in response to an attack on it, takes fire and blazes into zeal, like fire into flame. Love resides in a person's will; but it does not blaze up there, but in the intellect. For in the will it is like a smoldering fire, and in the intellect like a flame. Love in the will knows nothing about itself, because it has no sensation of itself there; nor does it operate by itself there, but it does so in the intellect and its thought. Consequently, when love is attacked, it then works itself up in the intellect, doing so by various reasonings. These reasonings are like sticks of wood, which the fire ignites, and which then blaze up. Thus they are like so many pieces of tinder, or like so many pieces of combustible material, from which comes the aforementioned spiritual flame, in all its many varieties.
