§_o i._o first_o we_o must_v consider_v the_o pass_v great_a pain_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n to_o provoke_v ourselves_o by_o that_o consideration_n to_o take_v compassion_n of_o they_o as_o

cause_n be_v the_o pass_v greatness_n of_o his_o charity_n which_o make_v he_o desirous_a to_o redeem_v mankind_n most_o abundant_o and_o to_o satisfy_v most_o perfect_o for_o the_o injury_n and_o offence_n commit_v against_o the_o divine_a majesty_n and_o because_o the_o great_a pain_n he_o shall_v suffer_v the_o more_o perfect_o he_o shall_v accomplish_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o and_o he_o want_v not_o the_o force_n of_o grace_n to_o bear_v as_o great_a a_o burden_n as_o he_o will_v therefore_o he_o will_v that_o his_o pain_n shall_v be_v pass_v great_a that_o so_o likewise_o the_o satisfaction_n which_o he_o shall_v make_v for_o our_o debt_n and_o the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n may_v be_v also_o pass_v great_a the_o second_o cause_n which_o follow_v hereof_o be_v that_o he_o suffer_v his_o pay_n without_o any_o manner_n of_o ease_n or_o consolation_n for_o accord_v to_o the_o reason_n before_o mention_v he_o shut_v up_o from_o himself_o all_o the_o gate_n
