Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Saint Philip Neri, Apostle of Rome, and Founder of the Congregation of the Oratory, Vol. 2 Muzio Achillei, a priest at S. Severino, having returned from Rome to his native place, gave himself up to a belief in dreams and visions, and seeking after sensible sweetnesses in devotion. He never spoke to any one about this, neither did he write a word of it to the holy father, but Philip nevertheless sent him letters warning him that he must not walk by that path, because it was easy to be deceived by the devil in such matters, and also to injure our bodily health; and furthermore he admonished him of a certain occasion of sin into which he had fallen rather by im prudence than from an evil intention, and gave him rules for avoiding similar dangers. Of all this Muzio himself affirmed that the holy father could know nothing except by Divine revelation, for he had not disclosed it to any one.
