" VII Ruysbroeck's Tree Whenever Blessed John felt the Spirit of God full upon him, even the solitude of the cloister was not sufficiently retired for the intimacy of the divine union. He would wander away into the depths of the forest surrounding the monastery, there to abandon himself to the action of the Holy Ghost un- disturbed. On these occasions also he was wont to take with him a stylus and a wax tablet, in order to jot down such thoughts and lights as he was moved to preserve in writing.... Of these notes a fair copy was made on his return to the Priory.

But when again the Spirit breathed, he continued from the very sentence or phrase where he had paused, just as if there had been no interval between.
