| Contingit autem aliquibus hominibus quod haec virtus imaginativa sit creata in illis fortissima et praevalens, ita ut non dominentur ei sensus nec formalis resistat ei, et quod anima eorum sit fortissima, ita quod propter hoc quod contemplatur intellectum et id quod est supra intellectum, non destruatur eius condescensio ad sensus. | However, it happens to some people that this imaginative faculty is born in them very strong and dominant, to such a degree that the senses do not control it nor the formal [faculty] resist it, and, because their spirit is very strong, it is such that its access to the senses is not blocked on account of that which the intellect and what is above the intellect understand. | GI GII |
| Isti habent in vigiliis quod alii in somnis, sicut postea dicemus: haec enim est dispositio dormientis dum apprehendit visiones, ut certificentur ei aut ita ut sunt, aut per imagines quas habent; istis quoque accidunt talia in vigiliis. | These people have in their waking hours what others have in dreams, as we will say later on; for this is the condition of the sleeper while he perceives visions, that they seem real to him either as they are, or through the images which they contain. Such things happen to these people when they are awake as well. | EI |
| Saepe enim inter utrumque istorum contingit eos in ultimo absentari a sensibilibus et accidit eis quasi dormitatio. | For often among both [kinds] it happens that they are remote from sensible things, and something like sleep happens to them. | EII |
| Et multotiens non accidit, et multotiens vident rem sicuti est, et multotiens apparet eius imago propter causam enim qua imaginatur in dormiente imago rei quae videtur, sicut postea declarabimus; multotiens apparet similitudo et videtur eis quod id quod apprehendunt sit locutio illius imaginis veluti verba audita quae tenent et legunt. Et haec est propria prophetia virtutis imaginativae; sunt autem hic aliae prophetiae quae declarabuntur. | Often it does not happen, often they see a thing just as it is, and often its image appears, for the reason that an image of a thing which is seen is imagined by a sleeper, as we will discuss later. Often a simulacrum appears and it seems to them that what they perceive is a speech by that image, just like heard words that they comprehend and retain. And this is the prophetic [ability] belonging to the imaginative faculty; there are also other prophetic [abilities] here which will be discussed. | EIII |
