Bonauenture F. Lewes of Granade F. Vincent Bruno haue done 2. One may deuide the whole life of our Lord into seauen parts and finish them in one weeke as Saint Bonauenture doeth 3. One may diuide the whole life of our Lord into ten parts according to the ten places where hee hath dwelte in this worlde cōsidering what he hath done and endured for thee in euery place 1.

One may likewise diuide the whole life of our Lord into three partes to wit his entrie into this worlde his abiding here and his issue or departing How hee entred what hee did whilst he dwelt here And in what manner he went out of it as S. Thomas hath diuided it And vpon each of these parts to make one or more Meditations 5. One may also cōprehende it in three other generall partes or members as S. Bernard saith in his Summe considering what he hath said what hee hath done and what hee hath endured Dixit multa fecit mira pertulit dura He spake many thinges did maruellous things endured painefull things and vpon each of these points to make one or more meditations Wee will stay no longer vpō the explication of these points not to be ouer-lōg for if he be a little exercised in these affaires he may forme of him selfe that which here is said or if he haue need lett him aske aduise of his ghostlie Father 6. One may likewise do in this manner to wit to meditate the fifteene mysteries of the Rosarie making vpon euerie one one or more Meditations 7.

XIX Maners of Meditating the Passion of our Lord. 1. THe first manner is to beginne from the last Supper and euerie day to meditate one Mysterie vntill his death and burial followinge the text of one Euangelist or of all the foure togeather as S. Bonauenture Loartus and Costerus haue done 2. To deuide the Passion of our Lord into seauen partes and to meditate it in one weeke as S. Bonauenture Lewis of Granado hath done 3. One may make as many Meditations as there are places wherin he suffered makinge each day as a Station in one place 1. In the place of the last supper where he washed his Disciples feete and instituted the B. Sacrament 2. In the Garden where hee contristated himselfe and sweat aboundantly a bloodie sweate 3.

One may choose out of the whole Passion about a dozen mysteries whereon to Meditate as F. Fuluiu● Androtius hath done 9. Another maner is to meditate three thinges or three seuerall sortes of paines to wit that which our Sauiour suffered in foule in bodie and in his honour and vpon each of these three points to make one or more Meditations and all this may be drawen foorth of the holy Ghospell or foorth of some booke that treateth of this subiect 10. One may likewise Meditate foure thinges Who he is that suffereth What things he suffereth For whom And how he suffereth makinge vpon euerie of these points one or more considerations The which foure considerations ought also to bee made in all the Meditations which one maketh vpon the Passion And albeit that some of these maners seem to be points of Meditation yet are they diuers waies and fashions of Meditating 11. One may Meditate the Passion of our Lorde by diuers waies to drawe from thence diuers affections as Saint Bonauenture hath taught in his booke of the darte of diuine loue and after him Denis the Charter-house Monke Granado Loartus and others 1. By way of Compassion considering the grieuousnesse of his paines 2. By way of Contrition considering that he is dead for
