this_o and_o your_o reverence_n will_v express_v it_o better_o and_o will_v unfold_v all_o that_o which_o you_o may_v find_v obscure_a and_o i_o not_o know_v how_o to_o deliver_v it_o seem_v to_o i_o indeed_o in_o some_o respect_n that_o it_o be_v a_o image_n or_o distinct_a representation_n which_o i_o see_v but_o in_o many_o other_o no_o but_o rather_o that_o it_o be_v christ_n our_o lord_n himself_o consider_v the_o excessive_a kind_n of_o claritie_n wherewith_o he_o vouchsafe_v to_o impart_v himself_o to_o i_o and_o yet_o sometime_o it_o be_v after_o so_o undistinct_a a_o manner_n that_o i_o think_v it_o be_v a_o representation_n or_o image_n but_o yet_o still_o not_o like_o those_o design_n and_o draught_n or_o picture_n of_o thing_n which_o be_v make_v here_o how_o perfect_a soever_o they_o may_v be_v for_o i_o have_v see_v both_o very_a many_o and_o very_o good_a one_o of_o this_o kind_n but_o it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a impertinency_n to_o conceive_v that_o any_o one_o of_o they_o come_v home_n to_o the_o life_n but_o how_o well_o soever_o they_o be_v draw_v they_o will_v never_o yet_o arrive_v to_o reach_v the_o natural_a in_o all_o respect_n for_o in_o fine_a the_o one_o be_v alive_a and_o the_o other_o be_v dead_a but_o let_v we_o lay_v this_o aside_o though_o yet_o the_o relation_n of_o one_o to_o the_o other_o hold_v very_o well_o and_o still_o i_o say_v not_o that_o i_o frame_v a_o comparison_n between_o christ_n our_o lord_n himself_o and_o that_o which_o i_o say_v i_o see_v for_o comparison_n never_o agree_v so_o perfect_o and_o entire_o as_o these_o two_o thing_n do_v but_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o there_o be_v the_o same_o difference_n in_o what_o i_o see_v from_o any_o image_n which_o there_o be_v between_o a_o thing_n that_o live_v and_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v paint_v and_o if_o you_o will_v needs_o have_v this_o to_o have_v be_v a_o image_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v a_o live_a image_n and_o not_o a_o dead_a man_n but_o christ_n alive_a and_o it_o give_v i_o also_o to_o understand_v that_o he_o be_v both_o god_n &_o man_n and_o that_o not_o so_o as_o he_o be_v lay_v in_o the_o sepulchre_n but_o as_o he_o be_v afterward_o in_o the_o resurrection_n and_o sometime_o he_o come_v with_o such_o a_o immense_a kind_n of_o majesty_n that_o no_o creature_n can_v be_v able_a to_o doubt_v but_o that_o it_o be_v our_o very_a lord_n himself_o and_o especial_o after_o my_o receive_v the_o bless_a sacrament_n for_o than_o we_o know_v well_o that_o he_o be_v there_o since_o we_o understand_v it_o by_o faith_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o same_o lord_n with_o that_o an_o he_o show_v himself_o then_o for_o so_o true_a and_o entire_a a_o lord_n of_o that_o little_a house_n that_o the_o whole_a soul_n see_v herself_o to_o be_v even_o dissolve_v consume_v and_o annihilate_v in_o christ_n our_o lord_n dear_a jesus_n and_o how_o shall_v one_o be_v able_a to_o give_v the_o height_n of_o that_o majesty_n to_o be_v understand_v wherewith_o thou_o come_v to_o show_v thyself_o in_o these_o occasion_n and_o how_o absolute_o do_v the_o soul_n resolve_v that_o thou_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o of_o the_o heaven_n and_o of_o a_o thousand_o world_n and_o of_o innumerable_a heaven_n and_o world_n which_o thou_o cause_v create_v consider_v that_o high_a majesty_n with_o which_o thou_o

my_o jesus_n do_v the_o soul_n see_v very_o clear_o that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o beggar_o kind_a of_o power_n which_o the_o devil_n have_v in_o comparison_n of_o thou_o and_o how_o he_o who_o be_v so_o happy_a as_o to_o please_v thou_o may_v tread_v all_o the_o power_n of_o hell_n under_o his_o foot_n here_o the_o soul_n find_v the_o reason_n which_o the_o devil_n have_v to_o tremble_v when_o thou_o do_v descend_v to_o limbus_n patrum_fw-la and_o how_o they_o will_v have_v wish_v to_o have_v be_v rather_o in_o thousand_o of_o other_o and_o low_a hell_n then_o to_o have_v endure_v the_o sight_n of_o so_o high_a a_o majesty_n as_o thou_o but_o i_o perceive_v that_o thou_o be_v here_o dispose_v to_o let_v our_o soul_n see_v how_o potent_a thou_o be_v and_o how_o great_a the_o power_n of_o thy_o most_o sacred_a humanity_n be_v when_o it_o be_v accompany_v by_o thy_o divinity_n vision_n here_o be_v it_o well_o represent_v what_o kind_n of_o thing_n the_o day_n of_o judgement_n will_v be_v where_o we_o shall_v see_v the_o mighty_a majesty_n of_o this_o king_n and_o behold_v his_o great_a rigour_n towards_o the_o wicked_a heer_n be_v true_a humility_n lay_v up_o and_o leave_v in_o the_o soul_n by_o see_v she_o own_o misery_n whereof_o now_o she_o can_v be_v ignorant_a no_o long_o heer_n that_o confusion_n and_o true_a repentance_n for_o sin_n where_o even_o when_o she_o be_v see_v how_o great_o our_o lord_n show_v she_o his_o love_n yet_o know_v she_o not_o where_o to_o dispose_v of_o herself_o but_o be_v as_o it_o be_v even_o annihilate_v outright_o i_o say_v this_o kind_n of_o vision_n be_v of_o so_o excessive_a power_n and_o strength_n when_o our_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o show_v a_o soul_n so_o eminent_a a_o portion_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o greatness_n by_o it_o that_o i_o hold_v it_o for_o a_o impossible_a thing_n unless_o our_o lord_n shall_v be_v please_v to_o assist_v she_o by_o make_v she_o remain_v in_o rapt_v and_o extasis_fw-la and_o so_o to_o loose_v the_o vision_n of_o that_o divine_a presence_n by_o the_o act_n of_o enjoy_v that_o any_o mortal_a creature_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o endure_v it_o at_o the_o present_a though_o yet_o afterward_o it_o be_v no_o impossible_a thing_n to_o forget_v it_o and_o yet_o still_o this_o can_v not_o be_v whole_o forget_v in_o regard_n that_o that_o majesty_n and_o beauty_n be_v so_o very_o deep_o imprint_v there_o but_o only_o when_o our_o lord_n be_v please_v that_o the_o soul_n shall_v suffer_v some_o such_o great_a kind_n of_o dryness_n and_o solitude_n as_o i_o will_v declare_v afterward_o for_o than_o it_o seem_v that_o even_o one_o forget_v almighty_a god_n himself_o but_o howsoever_o the_o soul_n be_v grow_v now_o to_o be_v clear_o another_o kind_n of_o thing_n than_o what_o she_o be_v before_o and_o be_v always_o as_o it_o be_v even_o steep_v and_o bathe_v in_o almighty_a god_n and_o there_o seem_v in_o my_o opinion_n to_o be_v a_o new_a and_o more_o livelie_a kind_n of_o love_n communicate_v to_o she_o in_o a_o very_a high_a degree_n for_o though_o that_o kind_n of_o vision_n aforesaid_a which_o i_o declare_v to_o represent_v almighty_a god_n without_o any_o image_n be_v a_o thing_n more_o sublime_a and_o high_a in_o itself_o yet_o for_o the_o make_v it_o continue_v long_o in_o our_o memory_n and_o to_o entertain_v and_o keep_v our_o thought_n well_o employ_v so_o great_a be_v the_o weakness_n of_o our_o condition_n that_o it_o make_v very_o much_o to_o our_o purpose_n when_o so_o divine_a a_o presence_n as_o that_o of_o our_o bless_a lord_n be_v represent_v and_o lodge_v in_o the_o imaginative_a part_n of_o our_o mind_n and_o therefore_o these_o two_o kind_n of_o vision_n be_v wont_a to_o come_v always_o together_o and_o indeed_o it_o be_v thus_o that_o they_o come_v for_o the_o excellency_n and_o beauty_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o most_o holy_a humanity_n of_o christ_n our_o lord_n be_v behold_v with_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o by_o that_o other_o way_n which_o be_v now_o declare_v we_o grow_v to_o be_v give_v to_o understand_v that_o he_o be_v god_n and_o powerful_a yea_o and_o omnipotent_a and_o that_o he_o command_v and_o govern_v all_o thing_n and_o that_o his_o love_n do_v even_o replenish_v they_o all_o this_o kind_n of_o vision_n be_v to_o be_v value_v at_o a_o very_a high_a rate_n and_o it_o be_v also_o in_o my_o opinion_n without_o danger_n for_o in_o fine_a it_o be_v discern_v by_o the_o effect_n that_o the_o devil_n have_v no_o power_n at_o all_o herein_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v true_a that_o three_o or_o four_o several_a time_n he_o have_v have_v a_o mind_n to_o represent_v our_o lord_n himself_o to_o i_o after_o this_o manner_n that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o way_n of_o such_o a_o false_a kind_n of_o representation_n for_o he_o take_v the_o form_n of_o flesh_n but_o it_o come_v not_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o his_o power_n to_o counterfeit_v it_o with_o any_o such_o kind_n of_o glory_n as_o when_o it_o be_v indeed_o of_o almighty_a god_n the_o devil_n be_v wont_a to_o make_v certain_a representation_n for_o the_o destroy_n of_o some_o true_a
teresa_n and_o of_o those_o happy_a daughter_n of_o she_o who_o already_o begin_v to_o live_v under_o her_o rule_n and_o these_o be_v his_o very_a word_n i_o never_o see_v nor_o know_v the_o bless_a mother_n teresa_n of_o jesus_n while_o yet_o she_o be_v in_o this_o world_n but_o now_o when_o she_o live_v in_o heaven_n i_o know_v she_o and_o do_v in_o effect_n continual_o see_v she_o in_o two_o live_a image_n or_o picture_n of_o herself_o which_o she_o leave_v among_o we_o and_o those_o be_v her_o daughter_n &_o her_o book_n which_o serve_v also_o in_o my_o opinion_n for_o very_o faithful_a witness_n and_o superior_a to_o all_o kind_n of_o exception_n concern_v the_o proof_n of_o her_o great_a virtue_n for_o if_o i_o have_v but_o see_v the_o figure_n and_o feature_n of_o her_o face_n they_o will_v have_v inform_v i_o but_o of_o that_o part_n of_o her_o body_n and_o if_o i_o have_v hear_v she_o speak_v and_o discourse_n that_o may_v also_o have_v declare_v some_o part_n of_o the_o worth_a of_o her_o mind_n but_o the_o first_o will_v have_v be_v common_a to_o other_o &_o the_o second_o may_v have_v be_v subject_a to_o error_n to_o which_o these_o other_o be_v not_o subject_a in_o which_o i_o see_v she_o now_o for_o as_o solomon_n say_v a_o man_n may_v be_v know_v by_o his_o child_n and_o the_o fruit_n which_o any_o one_o leaf_n behind_o he_o when_o he_o go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n be_v the_o true_a testimony_n of_o the_o life_n which_o he_o lead_v when_o he_o be_v here_o and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o christ_n our_o lord_n himself_o when_o he_o be_v please_v in_o the_o holy_a gospel_n to_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o good_a and_o the_o bad_a address_n man_n to_o consider_v their_o fruit_n for_o by_o their_o fruit_n say_v he_o you_o shall_v know_v they_o so_o that_o the_o virtue_n and_o sanctity_n of_o mother_n teresa_n which_o may_v perhaps_o have_v seem_v questionable_a &_o doubtful_a to_o i_o when_o i_o shall_v have_v see_v she_o here_o the_o same_o i_o hold_v to_o be_v both_o very_a evident_a and_o very_o certain_a whilst_o now_o i_o see_v she_o not_o by_o the_o view_n which_o i_o have_v of_o she_o both_o in_o her_o daughter_n &_o in_o those_o book_n which_o she_o have_v leave_v behind_o she_o for_o by_o the_o virtue_n which_o shine_v so_o bright_o in_o all_o those_o daughter_n of_o she_o we_o come_v to_o know_v without_o any_o error_n at_o all_o the_o great_a abundance_n of_o grace_n which_o it_o please_v almighty_a god_n to_o vouchsafe_v to_o she_o who_o he_o will_v ordain_v to_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o this_o new_a miracle_n and_o real_o that_o deserve_v to_o be_v hold_v for_o no_o less_o than_o a_o miracle_n which_o we_o see_v our_o bless_a lord_n to_o be_v do_v daily_o both_o in_o they_o and_o other_o by_o

when_o i_o come_v to_o know_v that_o he_o be_v dead_a i_o be_v great_o trouble_v at_o it_o because_o i_o be_v in_o fear_n and_o doubt_v of_o his_o salvation_n in_o regard_n that_o he_o have_v be_v a_o

the_o death_n which_o our_o lord_n grant_v he_o be_v of_o so_o great_a comfort_n to_o he_o by_o the_o knowledge_n of_o himself_o and_o by_o the_o humility_n which_o he_o express_v that_o it_o be_v of_o very_o great_a edification_n now_o a_o certain_a religious_a woman_n die_v at_o home_n with_o we_o about_o a_o day_n and_o a_o half_a before_o that_o occur_v whereof_o i_o be_o go_v to_o speak_v

to_o serve_v almighty_a god_n much_o better_o if_o i_o can_v enjoy_v my_o health_n now_o this_o be_v the_o abuse_n and_o error_n which_o deceive_v we_o not_o to_o resign_v ourselves_o entire_o to_o
