1253. Some of them said they were working as if on their own power and therefore thought it was they who did it, while others overhead said they were cooperating, not actively, but following along.

1253. Some of them said that they were acting as if of themselves and therefore supposed that they were the ones who were acting; but others who were above the head said that they were concurring, not by acting, but as it were by following. I said to them that still it was nothing but their phantasy, for they could not be my body; but that my spirit, not theirs, was clothed with a body. To this they could make no response.
1253. Quidam eorum dicebant quod agerent sicut ex se, et sic putarent quod ii essent, qui agerent, alii vero qui supra caput, quod concurrerent, non agendo, seddquasi sequendo; quibus dixi, quod usque non sit nisi eorum phantasia, non enim ii 1
possunt esse corpus meum, sed quod meus spiritus, non illorum, corpore indutus sit, ad quae nihil respondere potuerunt.
