363. (4) The zeal of a good love and the zeal of an evil love are in outward respects alike, but in inward respects entirely unalike. Zeal in everyone appears in outward respects like anger and rage; for it is love on fire and in flames to protect itself against a transgressor and drive him away. The reason the zeal of a good love and the zeal of an evil love appear alike in outward respects is that, in either case, when love is in a state of zeal, it blazes. However, in a good person it does so only in its outward elements, whereas in an evil person it does so in both its outward and inward ones. And when the inward elements are not seen, in outward respects the two kinds of zeal appear alike. But it will be seen under the next heading that they are entirely unalike in inward respects. Confirmation that zeal appears in outward respects like anger and rage can be seen and heard from the manner of all who speak and act out of zeal. Consider, for example, the manner of the priest when he preaches out of zeal - how the tone of his voice is loud, vehement, sharp and severe; how his face grows warm and perspires; how he raises himself up, pounds the pulpit, and calls up fire from hell against evildoers. There are many other examples as well.
