to_o all_o suitable_a act_n this_o they_o say_v be_v dry_a and_o without_o motion_n it_o be_v a_o force_n which_o the_o reason_n put_v upon_o the_o will_n and_o though_o upon_o a_o great_a variety_n

in_o one_o act_n of_o faith_n more_o force_n than_o a_o whole_a day_n of_o meditation_n can_v produce_v in_o this_o they_o say_v that_o a_o true_a contemplative_a man_n feel_v a_o secret_a joy_n in_o

this_o may_v appear_v a_o little_a intricate_a i_o shall_v illustratte_fw-mi it_o by_o a_o similitude_n which_o will_v make_v the_o difference_n of_o those_o three_o state_n more_o sensible_a 1._o a_o man_n that_o see_v the_o exterior_a of_o another_o with_o who_o he_o have_v no_o acquaintance_n and_o be_v much_o take_v with_o his_o face_n shape_n quality_n and_o mien_n and_o this_o have_v a_o

impression_n on_o his_o low_a and_o sensible_a power_n 2._o a_o man_n that_o upon_o a_o acquaintance_n with_o another_o see_v a_o great_a many_o reason_n to_o value_n and_o esteem_v both_o his_o part_n and_o his_o virtue_n yet_o in_o all_o this_o he_o feel_v no_o inward_a charm_n that_o overcome_v he_o and_o knit_v his_o soul_n to_o the_o other_o so_o that_o how_o high_a soever_o the_o esteem_n may_v be_v yet_o it_o be_v cold_a and_o dry_a and_o do_v not_o affect_v his_o heart_n much_o may_v be_v compare_v to_o one_o who_o devotion_n consist_v in_o many_o act_n and_o much_o meditation_n but_o three_o when_o a_o man_n enter_v into_o a_o entire_a friendship_n with_o another_o than_o one_o single_a thought_n of_o his_o friend_n affect_v he_o more_o tender_o than_o all_o that_o variety_n of_o reflection_n which_o may_v arise_v in_o his_o mind_n where_o this_o union_n be_v not_o feel_v and_o thus_o they_o explain_v the_o sublime_a state_n of_o contemplation_n and_o they_o reckon_v that_o all_o the_o common_a method_n of_o devotion_n aught_o to_o be_v consider_v only_o as_o step_n to_o raise_v man_n up_o to_o this_o state_n when_o man_n rest_v and_o continue_v in_o they_o they_o be_v but_o dead_a and_o lifeless_a form_n and_o if_o they_o rise_v above_o they_o they_o become_v clog_n and_o hindrance_n which_o amuse_v they_o with_o many_o dry_a performance_n in_o which_o those_o who_o be_v of_o a_o high_a dispensation_n will_v feel_v no_o pleasure_n nor_o advantage_n therefore_o the_o use_n of_o the_o rosary_n the_o daily_a repeat_v the_o breviary_n together_o with_o the_o common_a devotion_n to_o the_o saint_n be_v general_o lay_v aside_o by_o those_o who_o rise_v up_o to_o the_o contemplative_a state_n and_o the_o chief_a business_n to_o which_o they_o apply_v themselves_o be_v to_o keep_v their_o mind_n in_o a_o inward_a calm_a and_o quiet_a that_o so_o they_o may_v in_o silence_n form_n simple_a act_n of_o faith_n and_o feel_v those_o inward_a motion_n and_o direction_n which_o they_o believe_v follow_v all_o those_o who_o rise_v up_o to_o this_o elevation_n but_o because_o a_o man_n may_v be_v much_o deceive_v in_o those_o inspiration_n therefore_o they_o recommend_v to_o all_o who_o enter_v into_o this_o method_n above_o all_o other_o thing_n the_o choice_n of_o a_o spiritual_a guide_n who_o have_v a_o right_a sense_n

the_o people_n be_v possess_v with_o this_o superstition_n that_o it_o be_v indispensable_o necessary_a to_o mix_v it_o with_o water_n in_o the_o cask_n that_o by_o this_o mean_v it_o drink_v dead_a

on_o the_o wine_n in_o florence_n have_v teach_v the_o inhabitant_n a_o point_n of_o wisdom_n that_o those_o on_o the_o other_o side_n of_o the_o appenins_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o for_o the_o
