<emotion>heart burning with love to him</emotion> and gave myself <add>soul and body</add> up to 
him, to be his own for ever. This <emotion>overpowering sensa

learnt before as a part of divinity, came now into my mind
with such a <sic>powerfull</sic>  <corr>powerful</corr> and new impression as tho' I had
