114. (V.) Whatever proceeds from such a man derives from the form a likeness, so that it is charity. There are three things that proceed; thought, speech, and action. From the man who is a form of charity thought proceeds from the affection which is charity; speech, from sound which is of the affection, and in which is the affection of the thought; and action is by motion in which is charity. This motion proceeds from an endeavor; and the endeavor makes affection of the thought.
