be_v nothing_o that_o may_v offend_v the_o eye_n of_o so_o high_a a_o majesty_n this_o do_v he_o must_v adorn_v and_o beautify_v his_o soul_n with_o good_a habit_n and_o virtue_n whereby_o he_o may_v appear_v grateful_a &_o acceptable_a to_o he_o in_o his_o service_n of_o these_o two_o thing_n i_o will_v therefore_o now_o speak_v and_o first_o how_o to_o root_v out_o and_o destroy_v sin_n you_o must_v know_v then_o that_o sin_n be_v the_o most_o vile_a and_o detestable_a evil_n that_o can_v be_v devyse_v &_o bringethe_v to_o any_o reasonable_a creature_n that_o commit_v it_o unspeakable_a harm_n and_o mischeve_n for_o by_o sin_n we_o lose_v god_n who_o be_v a_o infinite_a goodness_n by_o it_o we_o contemn_v dishonour_n and_o injury_n our_o love_a lord_n in_o the_o foul_a manner_n that_o may_v be_v by_o it_o we_o frustrate_v in_o ourselves_o the_o effect_n and_o fruit_n of_o christ_n painful_a life_n and_o most_o bitter_a passion_n and_o conculcate_v or_o tread_v under_o foot_n his_o precious_a blood_n by_o it_o we_o defile_v and_o make_v most_o loathsome_a &_o abominable_a our_o own_o soul_n wash_v and_o sanctify_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o choose_v to_o be_v the_o sacred_a temple_n of_o god_n majesty_n by_o it_o we_o pollute_v our_o heart_n the_o altar_n &_o tabernacle_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n where_o he_o delightethe_v to_o dwell_v by_o it_o we_o lose_v god_n favour_n and_o all_o his_o grace_n the_o eternal_a joy_n of_o his_o kingdom_n with_o all_o our_o right_n and_o title_n thereunto_o by_o it_o only_o we_o be_v make_v the_o boundslave_n of_o the_o devil_n the_o fellow_n and_o companion_n of_o all_o wicked_a man_n both_o alive_a &_o dead_a &_o of_o the_o damn_a spirit_n in_o hell_n by_o it_o we_o be_v make_v the_o reproachful_a enemy_n of_o god_n the_o most_o abject_a contemptible_a and_o dishonourable_a of_o all_o his_o creature_n and_o final_o by_o it_o we_o purchase_v assure_o to_o ourselves_o endless_a damnation_n eternal_a woe_n and_o the_o horrible_a torment_n of_o hell_n fire_n all_o which_o evil_n and_o misery_n be_v just_o dew_n to_o he_o that_o by_o sin_n commit_v high_a treason_n against_o his_o supreme_a lord_n who_o vouchsaifed_n to_o die_v for_o he_o now_o the_o sorrow_n and_o tear_n of_o all_o god_n creature_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o destroy_v or_o take_v away_o one_o sin_n much_o less_o the_o penance_n &_o tear_n of_o one_o man_n that_o haith_v commit_v the_o same_o but_o the_o mercy_n and_o clemency_n of_o our_o lord_n be_v so_o great_a that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o despair_v and_o desireous_a of_o our_o weal_n haith_v provide_v we_o a_o remedy_n &_o be_v content_a to_o pardon_v &_o forgeve_v our_o sin_n assoon_o as_o we_o for_o our_o part_n have_v hearty_a sorrow_n &_o contrition_n for_o the_o same_o what_o beside_o be_v needful_a or_o requisite_a he_o supply_v it_o of_o his_o own_o &_o restore_v we_o again_o to_o his_o grace_n &_o favour_n it_o be_v meet_v therefore_o that_o we_o lament_v &_o sorrow_n for_o out_o sin_n consider_v we_o have_v do_v so_o many_o evil_n by_o they_o both_o against_o god_n &_o ourselves_o how_o shall_v we_o do_v this_o as_o become_v we_o say_v probus_n the_o way_n be_v this_o say_v alphouso_n with_o your_o understand_v present_a to_o yourselves_o the_o cuill_n which_o come_v of_o sin_n as_o before_o &_o then_o compel_v your_o will_n principal_o for_o the_o offence_n &_o dishonour_n of_o god_n and_o because_o it_o be_v his_o will_n that_o you_o sorrow_n for_o they_o to_o lament_v and_o to_o desire_v that_o you_o have_v not_o commit_v they_o nor_o injury_v god_n majesty_n which_o act_n of_o your_o will_n you_o must_v often_o labour_v to_o produce_v now_o in_o general_a for_o all_o your_o sin_n now_o for_o one_o particular_a sin_n now_o for_o a_o other_o &_o this_o with_o the_o great_a endeavour_n you_o can_v to_o have_v hearty_a grief_n and_o contrition_n notwithstanding_o you_o feel_v yourself_o sometime_o void_a of_o sensible_a sorrow_n or_o pain_n for_o this_o be_v in_o god_n hand_n and_o not_o in_o your_o own_o to_o have_v at_o your_o pleasure_n but_o doubtless_o he_o will_v bestow_v it_o also_o on_o you_o if_o you_o endeavour_n to_o get_v it_o as_o you_o may_v i_o understand_v all_o this_o say_v probus_n then_o will_v i_o pass_v say_v alphonso_n to_o the_o second_o thing_n which_o i_o tell_v you_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o expellinge_a of_o our_o corruption_n &_o evil_a habit_n what_o be_v that_o say_v probus_n the_o second_o exercise_n necessary_a for_o they_o that_o will_v serve_v god_n which_o be_v the_o hatred_n of_o our_o self_n it_o be_v the_o hatred_n of_o ourselves_o say_v alphonso_n and_o this_o exercise_n among_o all_o other_o be_v of_o great_a weight_n and_o importance_n for_o they_o that_o desire_n perfect_o to_o love_n god_n and_o to_o serve_v he_o for_o from_o self_n love_n springe_n innumerable_a evil_n by_o which_o be_v

be_v destroy_v ed_z in_o we_o with_o all_o other_o wicked_a habit_n how_o may_v we_o come_v to_o this_o holy_a hatred_n of_o ourselves_o say_v probus_n first_o say_v alphonso_n of_o all_o thing_n which_o may_v bring_v we_o delectation_n and_o pleasure_n as_o meat_n sleep_n recreation_n rest_n apparel_n and_o the_o like_a we_o must_v take_v or_o desire_v no_o more_o then_o that_o we_o can_v not_o omit_v or_o leave_v untaken_v withowt_n offence_n of_o god_n that_o be_v only_a necessary_n and_o necessary_n also_o must_v we_o take_v not_o for_o our_o own_o consolation_n or_o for_o satisfaction_n &_o contentment_n of_o our_o own_o appetite_n and_o sensuality_n consider_v how_o unworthy_a we_o be_v of_o all_o delectation_n through_o the_o grevousnes_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o only_o for_o fulfillinge_v god_n holy_a will_n who_o haith_v ordain_v &_o appoint_v that_o we_o use_v and_o take_v such_o thing_n to_o able_a we_o more_o in_o his_o service_n for_o which_o cause_n we_o admit_v they_o willing_o for_o relief_n of_o our_o necessity_n otherwise_o we_o will_v notadmitt_v they_o at_o all_o what_o in_o these_o necessary_n be_v sufficient_a a_o man_n own_o experience_n with_o a_o devout_a mind_n will_v tell_v he_o second_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v painful_a &_o grevous_a as_o labour_n toil_n abiection_n contempt_n injury_n affliction_n and_o the_o like_a we_o must_v take_v unto_o we_o and_o desire_v or_o will_v they_o be_v do_v to_o we_o as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v without_o offence_n of_o god_n our_o own_o or_o neyghboures_n harm_n three_o if_o we_o will_v serve_v god_n &_o hate_v ourselves_o in_o most_o commendable_a manner_n we_o must_v not_o only_o refuse_v delectable_a thing_n and_o desire_v painful_a &_o grevous_a as_o i_o say_v but_o more_o over_o we_o must_v joy_v and_o be_v glad_a when_o any_o adversity_n or_o sharp_a thing_n happen_v unto_o we_o &_o when_o we_o be_v depryve_v of_o pleasant_a thing_n yea_o of_o necessary_n &_o this_o chief_o when_o they_o be_v do_v by_o some_o other_o against_o our_o will_n or_o upon_o evil_a intention_n which_o yet_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o judge_v withowt_n manifest_a sign_n no_o nor_o then_o neither_o with_o absolute_a &_o full_a determination_n but_o pray_v for_o our_o persecutor_n and_o love_v they_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n because_o in_o truth_n they_o do_v we_o much_o good_a &_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v loose_v the_o inestimable_a reward_n we_o be_v to_o receive_v for_o suffer_v patient_o persecution_n &_o trouble_n all_o these_o three_o thing_n necessary_a for_o the_o holy_a hatred_n of_o ourselves_o the_o sonn_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o both_o by_o his_o word_n &_o by_o his_o own_o example_n as_o s._n peter_n say_v he_o suffer_v for_o we_o 2_o 1_o pet._n 2_o leave_v we_o a_o example_n to_o follow_v his_o step_n who_o most_o bless_a soul_n be_v free_a from_o all_o sport_n of_o sin_n &_o therefore_o his_o holy_a body_n shall_v not_o have_v be_v entreat_v sharp_o or_o have_v suffer_v any_o grevamce_n at_o all_o yet_o will_v he_o for_o our_o example_n who_o he_o most_o tender_o love_v refuse_v and_o set_v nothing_o by_o all_o delectable_a thing_n &_o consent_n that_o his_o body_n &_o soul_n shall_v suffer_v excedinge_v torment_n &_o gretues_fw-la as_o it_o be_v manifest_a in_o his_o holy_a gospel_n wherefore_o much_o shame_n &_o reproach_n it_o be_v to_o all_o that_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v christian_n and_o scholar_n of_o christ_n not_o to_o learn_v this_o holy_a hatred_n neither_o by_o his_o word_n say_v he_o that_o hatethe_v not_o himself_o can_v not_o be_v my_o disciple_n nor_o by_o his_o example_n but_o stand_v ever_o unwillinge_v
yourself_o the_o three_o be_v the_o dart_n of_o hatred_n of_o he_o who_o you_o suspect_v or_o know_v to_o have_v do_v you_o wrong_n to_o this_o also_o you_o must_v oppose_v yourself_o inclyninge_v your_o will_n to_o produce_v some_o singular_a act_n of_o love_n towards_o he_o because_o it_o be_v god_n will_v that_o you_o love_v and_o pray_v for_o your_o enemy_n and_o in_o truth_n as_o i_o say_v they_o do_v you_o exceed_o great_a good_a if_o yourself_o hinder_v it_o not_o and_o they_o be_v as_o surgeon_n to_o cure_v the_o fester_a wound_n of_o our_o soul_n thus_o in_o all_o occasion_n of_o adversity_n the_o servant_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v watchful_a and_o ever_o stand_v prepare_v patient_o to_o endure_v whatsoever_o it_o pleasethe_v his_o lord_n to_o let_v befall_v for_o his_o trial_n that_o in_o so_o do_v he_o may_v honour_n his_o lord_n benefit_n and_o as_o our_o savioure_n say_v possess_v his_o own_o soul_n which_o remain_v as_o void_a of_o all_o good_a captive_a to_o the_o devil_n and_o quite_o lose_v if_o it_o be_v spoil_v of_o this_o virtue_n of_o patience_n now_o if_o you_o think_v good_a let_v we_o speak_v of_o the_o four_o affection_n or_o passion_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o seven_o exercise_n how_o to_o moderate_v and_o keep_v in_o order_n the_o four_o natural_a passion_n of_o the_o soul_n these_o passion_n say_v alphonso_n be_v joy_n sorrow_n hope_n &_o fear_n &_o they_o be_v natural_a to_o every_o one_o as_o to_o joy_v for_o a_o present_a good_a to_o sorrow_n for_o a_o present_a evil_n to_o hope_v for_o a_o future_a good_a and_o to_o fear_v a_o future_a evil_n i_o will_v teach_v you_o how_o to_o guide_v and_o bridle_v they_o convenient_o for_o the_o service_n and_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o the_o repayringe_n of_o your_o soul_n for_o they_o may_v bring_v we_o much_o harm_n if_o they_o be_v leave_v at_o liberty_n unrestrayn_v because_o they_o never_o cease_v ranginge_v up_o and_o down_o in_o our_o soul_n now_o one_o now_o a_o other_o and_o we_o may_v well_o say_v that_o all_o our_o evil_n come_v upon_o we_o because_o they_o be_v permit_v to_o wander_v abowte_n and_o run_v unbrydled_a yea_o they_o bring_v much_o annoyance_n and_o hurt_n to_o spiritual_a person_n how_o lightlye_o soever_o they_o walk_v in_o they_o he_o only_o may_v keep_v they_o in_o good_a order_n &_o great_a moderation_n that_o work_v all_o thnge_n aswell_o internal_a as_o external_a for_o god_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o &_o walk_v in_o the_o hatred_n of_o himself_o as_o you_o have_v hard_a when_o be_v these_o affection_n say_v probus_n keep_v in_o due_a order_n &_o moderation_n when_o we_o yield_v say_v alphonso_n no_o consent_n to_o any_o of_o their_o motion_n further_o than_o we_o know_v please_v god_n &_o whereby_o he_o may_v receive_v some_o grateful_a service_n otherwise_o we_o ought_v ever_o to_o repel_v their_o motion_n &_o banish_v they_o from_o we_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o walk_v a_o saife_fw-mi way_n toward_o god_n may_v we_o not_o say_v probus_n be_v glad_a and_o joyful_a for_o any_o good_a thing_n that_o happen_v unto_o we_o &_o in_o like_a sort_n be_v sorrowful_a for_o evil_a the_o servant_n of_o god_n say_v alphonso_n shall_v be_v glad_a &_o joy_v in_o nothing_o but_o god_n or_o thing_n which_o belong_v or_o direct_v &_o further_o they_o to_o he_o the_o reason_n be_v for_o that_o have_v in_o god_n &_o in_o such_o thing_n so_o great_a cause_n &_o matter_n of_o joy_n they_o be_v very_o foolish_a and_o mad_a vain_a that_o occupy_v themselves_o in_o joy_v for_o any_o other_o consider_v their_o power_n &_o force_n to_o joy_n in_o god_n &_o love_v he_o be_v the_o weak_a by_o how_o much_o more_o they_o be_v divide_v into_o divers_a joy_n &_o business_n and_o consider_v again_o that_o albeit_o we_o yield_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o joy_n in_o god_n yet_o be_v we_o not_o able_a to_o do_v it_o sufficient_o how_o much_o less_o can_v we_o do_v it_o if_o we_o distract_v ourselves_o to_o joy_n in_o many_o thing_n wherefore_o by_o the_o use_n &_o power_n of_o our_o will_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o we_o must_v do_v one_o of_o these_o two_o either_o present_o so_o soon_o as_o it_o offer_v itself_o repel_v &_o put_v away_o all_o joy_n and_o gladness_n which_o be_v not_o in_o god_n or_o thing_n belonginge_v unto_o he_o or_o direct_v &_o order_v it_o for_o god_n as_o the_o end_n thereof_o so_o it_o be_v not_o some_o vain_a or_o unlawful_a joy_n and_o thus_o shall_v we_o do_v as_o the_o apostle_n will_v we_o say_v 4_o phil._n 4_o joy_n in_o our_o lord_n at_o all_o time_n i_o say_v again_o

&_o no_o good_a to_o we_o at_o all_o in_o a_o most_o potent_a and_o rich_a king_n you_o know_v it_o will_v be_v judge_v a_o very_a base_a &_o vile_a disposition_n to_o make_v so_o great_a reckon_n of_o a_o penny_n that_o the_o win_n of_o iâ—_n will_v make_v he_o very_o joyful_a &_o the_o lose_n of_o it_o very_o sorrowful_a &_o grieved_a but_o far_o great_a be_v our_o baseness_n &_o vilitye_n if_o when_o always_o we_o have_v present_a the_o infinite_a good_n which_o god_n possess_v for_o himself_o &_o we_o in_o which_o we_o ought_v incessant_o to_o joy_n we_o turn_v ourselves_o to_o joy_n in_o other_o tryflinge_a thing_n which_o occur_v in_o the_o world_n when_o especial_o we_o ought_v to_o love_v our_o lord_n more_o than_o ourselves_o &_o more_o to_o respect_v his_o glory_n then_o our_o own_o which_o yet_o he_o will_v geve_v we_o most_o abundant_o if_o we_o faithful_o and_o sincerelye_o serve_v he_o in_o this_o our_o banishment_n of_o sorow._n in_o like_o sort_n may_v we_o speak_v of_o he_o that_o sorow_v for_o any_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n that_o may_v happen_v except_o sin_n &_o thing_n induce_v thereto_o for_o it_o may_v be_v well_o judge_v great_a baseness_n to_o sorrow_n for_o any_o such_o temporal_a thing_n of_o this_o life_n whearas_o we_o have_v before_o our_o eye_n so_o great_a glory_n and_o inestimable_a good_n as_o i_o say_v god_n haith_v provide_v for_o we_o for_o which_o we_o ought_v ever_o to_o rejoice_v &_o be_v glad_a wherefore_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n must_v suffer_v no_o sorrow_n nor_o heaviness_n to_o stay_v in_o his_o heart_n but_o
