It is a spiritual heat wrought in the heart of man by the Holy Ghost, improving the good affections of love, joy, hope, &c. for the best service and furtherance of God's glory, with all the appurtenances thereof, his word, his house, his Saints and salvation of souls: using the contrary of hatred, anger, grief, &c. as so many mastiffs to fly upon the throat of God's enemies, the Devil, his angels, sin, the world with the lusts thereof.
Samuel Ward — A Coal from the Altar, to Kindle the Holy Fire of Zeal (sermon on Rev. 3:19), 1628 ed.
