think_v good_a to_o set_v down_o here_o in_o a_o brief_a manner_n the_o principal_a thing_n of_o his_o life_n that_o in_o make_v use_n of_o this_o brief_a extraction_n they_o may_v set_v it_o always_o before_o their_o eic_n and_o so_o regulate_v their_o action_n conformable_o a_o brief_a extraction_n of_o some_o perfection_n of_o s._n francis_n which_o may_v serve_v as_o a_o pattern_n for_o all_o his_o child_n the_o first_o perfection_n of_o s._n francis_n be_v that_o with_o all_o endeavour_n and_o with_o all_o his_o force_n he_o do_v labour_n to_o deplore_v his_o sin_n and_o do_v willing_o confess_v they_o &_o that_o without_o delay_n and_o afterward_o in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v do_v take_v heede-not_a to_o fall_v again_o the_o 2._o be_v that_o he_o do_v put_v all_o creature_n above_o himself_o and_o himself_o under_o all_o and_o this_o be_v his_o reason_n because_o as_o he_o say_v he_o have_v offend_v that_o great_a lord_n who_o have_v make_v all_o creature_n and_o who_o have_v so_o much_o honour_v we_o that_o for_o our_o love_n he_o have_v take_v humane_a flesh_n which_o assume_v do_v participate_v of_o all_o creature_n for_o this_o he_o be_v obedient_a with_o a_o good_a heart_n and_o good_a will_n to_o all_o not_o only_o to_o great_a or_o equal_a or_o lesser_a but_o also_o to_o all_o creature_n in_o as_o much_o as_o be_v lawful_a for_o he_o the_o 3._o perfection_n be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o have_v root_v out_o of_o his_o heart_n all_o worldly_a and_o humane_a creature_n neither_o do_v he_o find_v any_o foundation_n root_n or_o rest_n but_o in_o he_o who_o make_v his_o heart_n for_o this_o he_o be_v wont_a to_o cast_v his_o heart_n unto_o christ_n who_o have_v make_v it_o and_o so_o exercise_v his_o heart_n in_o he_o that_o without_o any_o labour_n when_o he_o will_v he_o can_v fix_v his_o mind_n on_o he_o and_o from_o thence_o be_v always_o attentive_a to_o god_n in_o all_o place_n and_o in_o all_o time_n the_o 4._o perfection_n be_v that_o he_o be_v of_o such_o patience_n that_o he_o do_v endeavour_v to_o love_v he_o more_o that_o do_v do_v or_o speak_v evil_a unto_o he_o and_o with_o all_o his_o heart_n and_o with_o a_o good_a will_n will_v more_o willing_o serve_v he_o without_o all_o bitterness_n of_o mind_n because_o as_o god_n out_o of_o his_o liberality_n do_v give_v all_o good_a thing_n to_o he_o so_o he_o do_v believe_v that_o god_n do_v permit_v all_o evil_a thing_n to_o happen_v unto_o he_o to_o manifest_v thereby_o his_o sin_n unto_o he_o &_o that_o so_o he_o himself_o may_v acknowledge_v and_o take_v notice_n of_o they_o and_o that_o god_n do_v punish_v they_o in_o this_o present_a life_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v much_o love_v he_o that_o do_v do_v or_o speak_v ill_a of_o he_o because_o by_o his_o mediation_n as_o by_o his_o messenger_n god_n do_v give_v unto_o he_o so_o great_a good_a to_o purify_v he_o from_o his_o sin_n the_o 5._o be_v that_o he_o love_v all_o good_a man_n and_o do_v compassionate_v all_o evil_a and_o do_v honour_n all_o repute_v
