2526. Ordinary thought is only an image that flows into speech, but this thought flows into ordinary thought and rules it both by thoughts and by evil feelings. Those thoughts are so to speak intentions thinking, in a series; and they inspire others with the urge to think and to act, bringing on liveliness, and also sluggishness. But still, inward thought together with its feelings is corporeal or material.
