pernicious_a to_o spiritual_a person_n the_o first_o countersigne_n be_v the_o great_a affection_n to_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v delight_v in_o they_o and_o run_v after_o they_o with_o anxiety_n and_o i_o call_v spiritual_a thing_n all_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v proper_o of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o be_v inward_a &_o divine_a thing_n such_o as_o be_v the_o read_n of_o holy_a scripture_n dis●…urses_n of_o holy_a thing_n continual_a prayer_n and_o continual_a adoration_n in_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v content_v with_o what_o ever_o god_n do_v hold_v it_o for_o holy_a and_o for_o just_a and_o for_o good_a as_o much_o as_o the_o frailty_n of_o the_o flesh_n permit_v the_o second_o countersigne_n be_v the_o total_a abhor_v of_o all_o those_o conversation_n and_o of_o all_o those_o reading_n of_o man_n and_o of_o book_n in_o which_o there_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n to_o be_v see_v for_o i_o understand_v that_o a_o man_n that_o have_v true_o taste_v the_o conversation_n and_o the_o read_n of_o those_o person_n and_o of_o those_o book_n in_o which_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v can_v taste_v other_o man_n and_o other_o book_n and_o if_o he_o do_v relish_v they_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n he_o have_v not_o taste_v those_o other_o the_o three_o countersigne_n be_v to_o approve_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n the_o conceit_n and_o the_o knowledge_n and_o the_o apprehension_n that_o be_v obtain_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o that_o with_o the_o mind_n and_o not_o with_o the_o wit_n humane_a wisdom_n do_v sometime_o approve_v spiritual_a thing_n not_o with_o the_o mind_n but_o with_o the_o wit_n and_o by_o opinion_n &_o not_o by_o inward_a sense_n and_o i_o understand_v it_o that_o a_o man_n that_o have_v the_o inward_a feel_n do_v easy_o know_v when_o one_o approve_v it_o with_o his_o mind_n or_o with_o his_o wit_n the_o four_o countersigne_n be_v the_o mortification_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o mind_n in_o all_o the_o affection_n that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o world_n among_o which_o i_o put_v especial_o curiosity_n in_o what_o way_n soever_o it_o come_v palliate_v and_o adorn_v and_o of_o the_o body_n in_o all_o the_o appetite_n that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n humane_a wisdom_n approve_v and_o teach_v mortification_n but_o however_o much_o it_o approve_v and_o teach_v it_o there_o never_o be_v yet_o nor_o never_o shall_v be_v man_n that_o without_o the_o christian_a spirit_n i_o will_v say_v without_o remain_v incorporate_v in_o

therefore_o i_o resolve_v myself_o in_o this_o that_o pious_a and_o christian_a person_n may_v secure_o admit_v unto_o their_o conversation_n and_o acquaintance_n those_o man_n who_o they_o shall_v see_v affection_a unto_o spiritual_a thing_n draw_v away_o and_o disenamour_v from_o those_o thing_n in_o which_o the_o holy_a spirit_n have_v no_o part_n and_o those_o of_o who_o they_o shall_v see_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n to_o be_v approve_v and_o in_o who_o they_o shall_v see_v true_a mortification_n hold_v for_o certain_a that_o humane_a wisdom_n and_o humane_a craft_n suffice_v not_o to_o feign_v nor_o to_o dissemble_v in_o all_o these_o thing_n although_o it_o suffice_v for_o some_o of_o they_o &_o even_o in_o this_o not_o altogether_o but_o in_o part_n and_o this_o part_n be_v easy_o discover_v by_o pious_a person_n and_o christian_n to_o who_o it_o appertain_v to_o use_v the_o serpentine_a wisdom_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o make_v use_n of_o these_o four_o countersigne_n they_o shall_v know_v those_o who_o come_v unto_o they_o make_v show_n of_o sheep_n be_v indeed_o wolf_n and_o so_o do_v they_o shall_v make_v use_n of_o that_o help_n which_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n give_v consid._n xlviii_o that_o he_o who_o pray_v and_o work_n and_o understand_v do_v then_o pray_v work_n and_o understand_v as_o he_o ought_v when_o he_o be_v inspire_v to_o pray_v to_o work_v and_o to_o understand_v s._n paul_n in_o the_o 8_o to_o the_o roman_n understand_v that_o prayer_n be_v one_o among_o those_o other_o thing_n wherein_o in_o our_o weakness_n and_o infirmity_n we_o be_v favour_v of_o god_n and_o help_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o so_o he_o say_v that_o we_o not_o know_v how_o to_o pray_v as_o we_o ought_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n pray_v for_o we_o whereby_o i_o understand_v that_o then_o holy_a spirit_n pray_v for_o we_o when_o it_o move_v we_o and_o when_o it_o move_v we_o to_o pray_v for_o than_o it_o pray_v in_o we_o and_o i_o understand_v that_o he_o who_o pray_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n demand_n that_o which_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o so_o he_o do_v obtain_v what_o he_o will_n and_o he_o who_o pray_v with_o his_o own_o spirit_n demand_n that_o which_o be_v his_o own_o will_n wherein_o consist_v the_o not_o know_v neither_o what_o nor_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v man_n mind_n be_v presumptuous_a and_o arrogant_a and_o not_o willing_a to_o yield_v that_o it_o know_v not_o what_o nor_o how_o it_o ought_v to_o pray_v say_v i_o will_v crave_v of_o god_n that_o he_o shall_v do_v his_o own_o will_n and_o so_o i_o can_v err_v and_o do_v not_o consider_v that_o to_o pray_v in_o this_o manner_n come_v because_o a_o man_n can_v choose_v and_o that_o peradventure_o it_o will_v not_o go_v well_o with_o he_o nor_o be_v convenient_a that_o god_n shall_v do_v his_o will_n as_o it_o be_v not_o convenient_a for_o ezekias_n when_o death_n be_v intimate_v unto_o he_o and_o that_o he_o do_v not_o know_v how_o he_o shall_v content_v himself_o and_o conform_v with_o the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o man_n not_o willing_a to_o give_v himself_o as_o overcome_v no_o not_o by_o this_o neither_o say_v i_o will_v demand_v of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v cause_v that_o i_o shall_v content_v myself_o with_o that_o which_o shall_v be_v his_o will_n and_o so_o i_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o hit_v the_o mark_n and_o do_v not_o consider_v that_o oftentimes_o it_o be_v better_a for_o a_o man_n not_o to_o content_v himself_o nor_o to_o conform_v himself_o with_o god_n will_v as_o it_o be_v better_a for_o hezekias_n and_o as_o it_o be_v better_a for_o those_o person_n who_o grieve_v and_o resent_v themselves_o for_o that_o which_o god_n do_v come_v to_o reacknowledge_a themselves_o and_o to_o know_v god_n and_o to_o humble_v themselves_o and_o to_o exalt_v god_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o will_v they_o will_v they_o man_n mind_n be_v force_v to_o confess_v that_o which_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o we_o know_v not_o what_o nor_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v and_o he_o who_o confess_v this_o understand_v from_o the_o self_n same_o s._n paul_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n pray_v for_o we_o and_o in_o we_o will_v apply_v himself_o to_o pray_v god_n that_o he_o will_v give_v he_o his_o spirit_n to_o pray_v for_o he_o and_o in_o he_o when_o he_o that_o pray_v by_o humane_a

spirit_n of_o god_n because_o he_o do_v not_o pray_v be_v inspire_v but_o teach_v and_o s._n paul_n do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n teach_v we_o to_o pray_v but_o that_o he_o pray_v by_o we_o and_o that_o he_o pray_v in_o we_o i_o will_v add_v this_o that_o they_o who_o pray_v with_o their_o own_o proper_a spirit_n when_o they_o obtain_v that_o which_o they_o demand_v in_o prayer_n they_o feel_v in_o their_o mind_n a_o contentedness_n mix_v with_o pride_n and_o with_o self_n estimation_n and_o they_o who_o pray_v with_o the_o holy_a spirit_n obtain_v that_o which_o they_o
