endeavour_n to_o make_v it_o soft_a with_o the_o heat_n of_o devotion_n &_o so_o shall_v he_o do_v with_o it_o whatsoever_o he_o desire_v so_o we_o see_v that_o all_o such_o as_o pretend_v to_o work_n any_o thing_n in_o a_o matter_n which_o be_v difficult_a &_o hard_a of_o itself_o do_v use_v this_o manner_n of_o proceed_v so_o those_o that_o purpose_n to_o break_v any_o hard_a stone_n do_v first_o

holy_a sacrament_n as_o also_o of_o the_o manner_n how_o we_o ought_v to_o prepare_v ourselves_o for_o the_o receive_n of_o they_o because_o he_o that_o approach_v to_o they_o as_o he_o shall_v can_v 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
