all_o that_o which_o hitherto_o have_v be_v say_v serve_v to_o yield_v we_o matter_n of_o consideration_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o principal_a part_n of_o this_o spiritual_a affair_n consider_v that_o such_o as_o have_v sufficient_a matter_n of_o consideration_n be_v but_o the_o lest_o number_n of_o so_o many_o people_n &_o so_o for_o want_n of_o matter_n whereupon_o to_o meditate_v many_o there_o be_v that_o abandon_v this_o kind_n of_o exercise_n now_o we_o will_v set_v down_o brief_o somewhat_o touch_v the_o manner_n and_o form_n which_o in_o it_o may_v be_v observe_v and_o albeit_o the_o chief_a master_n of_o this_o work_v be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o experience_n have_v tawght_v we_o that_o some_o advice_n be_v requisite_a and_o necessary_a in_o this_o part_n because_o the_o way_v to_o go_v towards_o god_n be_v hard_a &_o have_v need_n of_o a_o guide_n without_o which_o very_o many_o go_v long_a time_n lose_v and_o a_o stray_n the_o first_o advice_n let_v then_o the_o first_o advice_n be_v this_o that_o when_o ve_fw-la set_v ourselves_o to_o consider_v any_o of_o the_o a_o foresay_a thing_n in_o their_o time_n and_o exercise_n appoint_v we_o must_v not_o so_o

profit_n for_o as_o in_o conclusion_n all_o this_o serve_v for_o denotion_n so_o that_o which_o make_v most_o to_o this_o purpose_n be_v to_o be_v take_v for_o the_o best_a howbeit_o a_o man_n ought_v not_o to_o do_v this_o upon_o very_o light_a occasion_n but_o when_o he_o perceive_v evident_a commodity_n to_o come_v thereby_o the_o second_o advice_n the_o second_o advice_n be_v that_o a_o man_n labour_n to_o eschew_v in_o this_o exercise_n superfluous_a speculation_n of_o the_o understanding_n and_o procure_v to_o handle_v this_o affair_n rather_o with_o affection_n and_o feeling_n of_o the_o will_v then_o with_o discourse_n and_o speculation_n of_o the_o wit_n wherefore_o they_o undowtedlie_o take_v not_o the_o right_a course_n who_n in_o time_n of_o prayer_n give_v themselves_o to_o meditate_v upon_o divine_a mystery_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o if_o they_o study_v to_o preach_v they_o which_o manner_n be_v rather_o to_o make_v our_o spirit_n to_o wander_v more_o abroad_o then_o to_o recollect_v it_o and_o to_o go_v more_o out_o of_o itself_o then_o to_o be_v in_o itself_o therefore_o who_n mind_v to_o do_v welin_fw-mi this_o matter_n let_v he_o come_v with_o the_o hart_n as_o it_o be_v of_o a_o old_a woman_n ignorant_a and_o humble_a and_o rather_o with_o a_o will_v dispose_v and_o prepare_v to_o feel_v and_o to_o be_v affect_v towards_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n then_o with_o a_o understanding_n purify_v and_o attentive_a to_o search_v and_o examine_v they_o because_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n proper_a to_o those_o that_o study_n to_o get_v knowledge_n and_o not_o to_o those_o that_o pray_v and_o think_v upon_o god_n thereby_o to_o lament_v and_o mourn_v the_o three_o advice_n the_o former_a advice_n teach_v we_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o quiet_v our_o understanding_n and_o commit_v all_o this_o business_n to_o our_o will_v but_o this_o present_a advice_n prescribe_v bound_n and_o limit_n to_o the_o same_o will_v that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o excessive_v nor_o to_o vehement_a in_o her_o exercise_n wherefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o the_o devotion_n which_o we_o seek_v to_o obtain_v be_v not_o a_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v goten_a by_o force_n of_o arm_n as_o some_o parson_n think_v who_n by_o eccessive_a sigh_n and_o enforce_v sobbing_n procure_v to_o wring_v out_o tear_n and_o compassion_n when_o they_o think_v upon_o the_o passion_n of_o our_o saviour_n for_o such_o force_n dry_v up_o the_o hart_n and_o make_v the_o same_o more_o unable_a to_o receive_v our_o lord_n visitation_n as_o cassianus_n affirm_v moreover_o those_o thing_n be_v wont_a to_o prejudice_n and_o hurt_v the_o health_n of_o the_o body_n yea_o sometime_o they_o leave_v the_o soul_n so_o astonish_v and_o aghast_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o little_a taste_n she_o have_v there_o receive_v that_o she_o be_v loath_a to_o return_v again_o to_o this_o exercise_n as_o to_o a_o thing_n which_o she_o have_v try_v by_o experience_n to_o have_v be_v very_o painful_a and_o irksome_a unto_o she_o let_v a_o man_n therefore_o content_v himself_o with_o do_v sincere_o what_o lie_v in_o he_o that_o be_v that_o he_o esteem_v himself_o to_o be_v present_a at_o that_o which_o our_o saviour_n have_v suffer_v behold_v with_o a_o sincere_a and_o quiet_a eye_n with_o a_o tender_a and_o compassionate_a hart_n &_o prepare_v for_o what_o soever_o feel_v it_o shall_v please_v our_o lord_n to_o give_v he_o that_o which_o he_o suffer_v for_o he_o and_o so_o dispose_v himself_o rather_o to_o receive_v such_o affection_n as_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n shall_v aford_v he_o then_o to_o wring_v they_o out_o with_o tear_n and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v this_o let_v he_o not_o vex_v himself_o any_o more_o for_o any_o other_o thing_n though_o it_o be_v not_o grant_v he_o as_o he_o desire_v the_o fourthe_a advice_n of_o all_o these_o advise_v a_o foresay_a we_o may_v gather_v what_o manner_n of_o attention_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v in_o prayer_n for_o that_o in_o this_o exercise_n it_o be_v chief_o expedient_a to_o have_v our_o hart_n not_o heavy_a nor_o dull_a but_o livelie_a attent_a and_o lift_v up_o on_o high_a but_o as_o it_o be_v here_o necessary_a on_o the_o one_o side_n to_o have_v attention_n and_o recollection_n of_o hart_n so_o it_o behove_v on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o this_o attention_n be_v temper_v and_o

not_o but_o receive_v most_o great_a visitation_n &_o illumination_n of_o almighty_a god_n but_o chief_o before_o communion_n &_o after_o the_o same_o it_o become_v we_o to_o have_v more_o
