memory_n before_o the_o eye_n of_o our_o understanding_n the_o point_n or_o mystery_n upon_o which_o we_o mean_v to_o make_v our_o prayer_n and_o then_o to_o enter_v in_o with_o out_z understanding_n itself_o discourse_v meditate_v and_o consider_v those_o thing_n which_o may_v serve_v most_o for_o the_o move_n of_o our_o will_n and_o then_o be_v the_o affect_v and_o desire_n of_o the_o will_n itself_o to_o follow_v and_o this_o three_o we_o have_v already_o say_v to_o be_v the_o chief_a part_n and_o fruit_n which_o we_o be_v to_o gather_v from_o prayer_n so_o that_o prayer_n consist_v not_o in_o that_o sweetness_n and_o sensible_a guste_fw-la which_o sometime_o we_o feel_v and_o do_v experiment_n within_o ourselves_o but_o in_o the_o act_n which_o we_o make_v with_o the_o power_n of_o our_o soul_n now_o the_o do_v of_o this_o be_v ever_o in_o our_o power_n though_o we_o be_v never_o so_o dry_a and_o discomfort_a for_o although_o i_o shall_v be_v more_o dry_a than_o any_o stick_n note_n note_n and_o more_o hard_a than_o any_o stone_n yet_o will_v it_o be_v in_o my_o power_n with_o the_o favour_n of_o our_o lord_n to_o make_v a_o act_n of_o detestation_n and_o grief_n for_o my_o sin_n and_o a_o act_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o a_o act_n of_o patience_n and_o a_o act_n of_o humility_n and_o to_o desire_v to_o be_v disgrace_v and_o despise_v in_o imitation_n of_o christ_n our_o lord_n who_o will_v needs_o be_v disgrace_v and_o despise_v for_o love_n of_o i_o it_o must_v here_o be_v also_o observe_v that_o the_o business_n of_o make_v good_a prayer_n and_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o do_v not_o consist_v in_o that_o one_o make_v so_o much_o as_o these_o very_a act_n themselves_o with_o guste_fw-la or_o sensible_a consolation_n nor_o in_o that_o he_o feel_v much_o even_o of_o what_o he_o be_v do_v nor_o do_v the_o goodness_n and_o perfection_n of_o the_o act_n themselves_o nor_o the_o merit_n which_o follow_v upon_o they_o consist_v in_o this_o this_o i_o say_v be_v to_o be_v note_v much_o for_o it_o use_v to_o be_v a_o error_n very_o common_a to_o many_o who_o discomfort_n themselves_o as_o conceave_a that_o they_o do_v no_o good_a in_o prayer_n because_o they_o feel_v not_o so_o much_o actual_a sorrow_n for_o their_o error_n and_o sin_n or_o so_o great_a affection_n &_o desire_v of_o virtue_n as_o they_o will_v but_o these_o feeling_n do_v belong_v to_o the_o sensitive_a appetite_n whereas_o the_o will_n be_v a_o spiritual_a power_n and_o depend_v not_o upon_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v feel_v his_o own_o act_n in_o such_o a_o fashion_n but_o it_o suffice_v that_o they_o be_v produce_v by_o the_o will._n and_o so_o the_o divines_n &_o saint_n who_o treat_v of_o contrition_n and_o grief_n for_o sin_n do_v thus_o comfort_v their_o pennitents_n who_o come_v to_o make_v great_a account_n of_o the_o greviousnes_n of_o mortal_a sin_n be_v discomfort_a for_o not_o be_v able_a to_o dissolve_v themselves_o in_o tear_n nor_o to_o feel_v in_o themselves_o that_o sensible_a grief_n which_o they_o desire_v for_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n that_o even_o their_o very_a bowel_n may_v split_v in_o their_o body_n for_o sorrow_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o those_o author_n say_v that_o true_a contrition_n &_o grief_n consist_v not_o in_o the_o sensitive_a appetite_n but_o in_o the_o will._n let_v it_o trouble_v you_o to_o have_v sin_v because_o sin_n be_v the_o offence_n of_o god_n who_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v love_v abone_n all_o thing_n for_o this_o be_v true_a contrition_n that_o other_o feeling_n when_o our_o lord_n shall_v impart_v it_o do_v your_o receive_v it_o with_o give_v of_o thanks_o and_o when_o he_o do_v not_o be_v not_o trouble_v
