they_o be_v very_o great_a in_o themselves_o it_o please_v our_o bless_a lord_n that_o i_o shall_v have_v sometime_o this_o follow_a vision_n i_o see_v a_o angel_n very_o near_o i_o towards_o my_o

between_o one_o angel_n and_o another_o as_o i_o be_o no_o way_n able_a to_o express_v i_o see_v that_o he_o have_v a_o long_a dart_n of_o gold_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o

in_o a_o different_a kind_n but_o in_o fine_a all_z they_o who_o will_v follow_v christ_n our_o lord_n must_v go_v by_o that_o very_a way_n where_o he_o go_v unless_o they_o will_v have_v a_o mind_n to_o be_v lose_v and_o happy_a be_v those_o trouble_n which_o be_v endure_v here_o since_o even_o here_o they_o be_v so_o superabundant_o recompense_v and_o pay_v i_o must_v now_o serve_v myself_o of_o some_o comparison_n which_o yet_o i_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o forbear_v in_o regard_n that_o i_o be_o a_o woman_n and_o will_v fain_o set_v that_o down_o very_o simple_o and_o plain_o which_o they_o command_v i_o to_o say_v but_o this_o language_n of_o spirit_n be_v so_o very_o hard_o to_o be_v declare_v by_o such_o as_o be_v unlearned_a like_v i_o that_o i_o must_v seek_v some_o particular_a way_n how_o to_o do_v it_o and_o it_o be_v likely_a that_o i_o shall_v seldom_o hit_v tight_a in_o make_v the_o comparison_n serve_v but_o in_o that_o case_n it_o may_v pass_v for_o your_o recreation_n to_o see_v how_o very_o improper_a and_o rude_a i_o be_o to_o my_o remembrance_n i_o have_v either_o read_v or_o hear_v this_o use_n comparison_n which_o follow_v here_o for_o my_o memory_n be_v so_o very_o imperfect_a that_o i_o know_v not_o how_o nor_o upon_o what_o occasion_n i_o meet_v with_o it_o first_o but_o it_o content_v i_o at_o least_o for_o the_o present_a in_o order_n to_o what_o i_o have_v in_o hand_n he_o who_o begin_v in_o the_o way_n of_o prayer_n must_v conceive_v that_o he_o be_v beginning_n to_o frame_v a_o orchard_n or_o garden_n for_o the_o contentment_n and_o delight_n of_o his_o lord_n though_o yet_o it_o be_v in_o a_o very_a unfruitful_a soil_n and_o full_a of_o weed_n his_o divine_a majesty_n now_o be_v he_o who_o must_v be_v please_v to_o plant_v good_a herb_n and_o root_v the_o ill_a one_o up_o but_o now_o we_o will_v make_v account_n that_o this_o be_v do_v already_o in_o our_o case_n when_o a_o soul_n not_o only_o resolve_v to_o use_v prayer_n but_o have_v already_o begin_v to_o use_v it_o and_o now_o by_o the_o help_n of_o our_o lord_n we_o must_v procure_v like_o careful_a gardener_n that_o these_o good_a herb_n which_o be_v plant_v may_v grow_v and_o we_o must_v take_v care_n to_o water_v they_o that_o so_o they_o may_v not_o wither_v but_o may_v come_v to_o yield_v flower_n of_o so_o excellent_a odour_n as_o may_v serve_v to_o be_v of_o recreation_n to_o this_o lord_n of_o we_o that_o so_o he_o may_v take_v pleasure_n to_o come_v often_o into_o this_o garden_n of_o he_o and_o delight_v himself_o among_o these_o virtue_n of_o our_o soul_n now_o let_v we_o see_v in_o what_o sort_n these_o flower_n may_v be_v water_v that_o so_o we_o may_v come_v to_o understand_v what_o we_o be_v to_o do_v and_o what_o trouble_v it_o be_v likely_a to_o cost_v and_o whether_o the_o gain_n will_v prove_v to_o be_v more_o than_o the_o labour_n and_o how_o long_o it_o will_v be_v likely_a to_o last_v as_o for_o i_o it_o occurr_v to_o i_o to_o think_v that_o these_o plant_n may_v be_v water_v by_o four_o way_n either_o by_o draw_v water_n out_o of_o a_o well_o which_o we_o can_v do_v without_o much_o labour_n or_o by_o way_n of_o a_o noria_n wheel_n with_o certain_a little_a bueket_n belong_v to_o it_o which_o be_v easy_o turn_v about_o by_o the_o hand_n and_o myself_o have_v draw_v some_o thus_o now_o and_o then_o and_o i_o find_v that_o it_o bring_v up_o more_o water_n with_o less_o trouble_n then_o do_v that_o of_o the_o former_a way_n or_o else_o by_o mean_n of_o let_v in_o some_o little_a brook_n or_o river_n into_o the_o garden_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n the_o garden_n be_v water_v much_o better_o then_o by_o the_o former_a and_o the_o earth_n remain_v with_o more_o moisture_n and_o there_o will_v not_o be_v need_n to_o water_v it_o so_o often_o and_o the_o labour_n also_o of_o the_o gardener_n be_v much_o less_o or_o else_o in_o fine_a when_o there_o fall_v a_o good_a shower_n of_o rain_n upon_o the_o garden_n for_o then_o the_o lord_n himself_o water_v it_o without_o any_o labour_n at_o all_o of_o we_o and_o this_o be_v without_o comparison_n the_o very_a far_o best_a way_n of_o all_o the_o four_o but_o now_o for_o apply_v these_o four_o way_n of_o use_v water_n whereby_o this_o garden_n of_o we_o be_v to_o be_v preserve_v because_o a_o garden_n without_o water_n be_v to_o perish_v that_o which_o i_o think_v be_v to_o our_o purpose_n be_v that_o we_o may_v by_o this_o similitude_n declare_v somewhat_o of_o these_o four_o degree_n of_o prayer_n into_o which_o our_o lord_n through_o his_o goodness_n have_v sometime_o bring_v my_o soul_n and_o i_o humble_o beseech_v he_o of_o his_o mercy_n that_o i_o may_v hit_v right_a upon_o what_o i_o be_o about_o to_o say_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o that_o it_o may_v be_v of_o use_n and_o profit_n to_o one_o of_o those_o person_n who_o command_v i_o to_o write_v thus_o much_o and_o who_o our_o lord_n have_v draw_v further_o on_o in_o four_o month_n than_o i_o be_v able_a to_o get_v in_o seaventeen_o year_n but_o certain_o he_o dispose_v himself_o better_a and_o so_o the_o gardener_n have_v water_v his_o orchard_n without_o any_o trouble_n at_o all_o to_o the_o party_n with_o all_o these_o four_o kind_n of_o water_n though_o the_o last_o of_o the_o four_o have_v not_o yet_o come_v to_o his_o turn_n but_o by_o drop_n but_o the_o business_n go_v on_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o by_o the_o favour_n and_o help_v of_o our_o lord_n he_o will_v quick_o ingulfe_n himself_o therein_o and_o i_o shall_v be_v hearty_o glad_a if_o he_o laugh_v at_o i_o in_o case_n he_o find_v the_o manner_n of_o my_o declare_v this_o point_n in_o question_n to_o have_v be_v impertinent_a of_o they_o who_o begin_v to_o hold_v prayer_n we_o may_v say_v that_o those_o be_v the_o person_n who_o draw_v water_n out_o of_o the_o well_o which_o use_v to_o be_v very_o troublesome_a as_o i_o have_v say_v for_o

for_o in_o this_o indeed_o i_o see_v well_o that_o our_o lord_n have_v do_v i_o favour_n that_o so_o i_o may_v perform_v some_o little_a thing_n for_o he_o i_o confess_v i_o think_v i_o love_v he_o

it_o be_v when_o i_o think_v i_o do_v neither_o good_a nor_o ill_a but_o follow_v on_o after_o the_o walk_n of_o other_o folk_n and_o this_o neither_o with_o pain_n nor_o glory_n nor_o with_o
