will_v make_v we_o believe_v that_o it_o i●_n good_a i_o will_v say_v that_o it_o will_v make_v we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v true_a we_o have_v certain_a reason_n which_o will_v seem_v good_a to_o we_o and_o then_o these_o reason_n be_v approve_v of_o our_o proper_a judgement_n and_o self-love_n ●here_o will_v be_v no_o more_o mean_n to_o hinder_v from_o find_v they_o just_a and_o reasonable_a o_o true_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v great_a heed_n of_o this_o i_o extend_v myself_o to_o speak_v somewhat_o herein_o because_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o importance_n we_o never_o have_v reason_n to_o have_v aversion_n much_o less_o to_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o nourish_v it_o i_o say_v then_o when_o these_o be_v simple_a natural_a aversion_n we_o must_v make_v no_o account_n of_o they_o but_o divert_v ourselves_o without_o make_v show_n of_o any_o thing_n and_o so_o deceive_v our_o spirit_n but_o we_o must_v fight_v and_o beat_v they_o down_o when_o we_o see_v that_o nature_n pass_v further_a and_o will_v make_v we_o depart_v from_o the_o submission_n we_o owe_v to_o reason_n which_o never_o permit_v we_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n in_o favour_n of_o our_o aversion_n no_o more_o then_o of_o our_o inclination_n when_o they_o be_v wicked_a for_o fear_v of_o offend_a god_n now_o when_o we_o do_v no_o other_o in_o favour_n of_o our_o aversion_n then_o speak_v a_o little_a less_o pleasinglie_o than_o we_o shall_v do_v to_o a_o person_n to_o who_o we_o shall_v have_v great_a feeling_n of_o affection_n this_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n for_o it_o be_v not_o almost_o in_o our_o power_n to_o do_v otherwise_o and_o when_o we_o be_v in_o the_o motion_n of_o this_o passion_n they_o shall_v do_v wrong_a to_o require_v that_o of_o us._n §_o 2._o the_o second_o demand_n be_v how_o

now_o i_o say_v that_o this_o be_v a_o imperfection_n to_o have_v a_o will_n to_o choose_v or_o desire_v another_o book_n than_o the_o same_o that_o they_o give_v we_o and_o this_o be_v ●_o mark_v that_o we_o read_v rather_o to_o satisfy_v the_o curiosity_n of_o our_o spirit_n then_o to_o profitt_a by_o our_o lecture_n if_o we_o do_v read_v for_o our_o profitt_a and_o not_o to_o content_v ourselves_o we_o shall_v be_v as_o equal_o satisfy_v with_o one_o book_n as_o with_o another_o at_o least_o we_o will_v accept_v with_o a_o good_a will_n all_o those_o our_o superior_a ●hould_v give_v

do_v speak_v of_o god_n yea_o when_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v in_o it_o but_o only_o this_o name_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v be_v content_a since_o we_o shall_v find_v business_n enough_o to_o do_v after_o the_o read_n of_o it_o over_o and_o over_o again_o many_o time_n for_o to_o desire_v to_o read_v to_o content_a curiosity_n be_v a_o sign_n that_o we_o have_v a_o little_a lightness_n of_o spirit_n and_o that_o it_o do_v not_o sufficient_o take_v care_n to_o perform_v the_o good_a which_o it_o have_v learn_v in_o these_o little_a book_n of_o the_o practice_n of_o virtue_n for_o they_o speak_v very_o well_o of_o humility_n and_o mortification_n therefore_o they_o do_v not_o practise_v they_o when_o they_o accept_v not_o of_o they_o with_o a_o good_a will_n now_o to_o say_v because_o i_o love_v they_o not_o i_o shall_v make_v no_o profitt_a of_o they_o be_v no_o good_a consequence_n no_o more_o then_o to_o say_v i_o know_v already_o all_o by_o hart_n i_o can_v take_v no_o pleasure_n to_o read_v it_o all_o these_o be_v childish_a toy_n do_v they_o give_v you_o a_o book_n that_o you_o know_v already_o or_o all_o most_o all_o by_o hart_n bless_v god_n for_o it_o for_o so_o much_o as_o you_o will_v more_o easy_o comprehend_v the_o doctrine_n thereof_o if_o they_o give_v you_o one_o that_o you_o have_v already_o read_v many_o time_n humble_v yourself_o and_o assure_v yourself_o that_o god_n will_v have_v it_o so_o to_o the_o end_n you_o shall_v be_v more_o careful_a to_o do_v they_o to_o learn_v and_o that_o his_o goodness_n give_v it_o you_o for_o the_o second_o &_o three_o time_n because_o you_o have_v not_o make_v your_o profitt_a thereof_o at_o the_o first_o read_v but_o the_o misery_n from_o whence_o all_o this_o proceed_v be_v that_o we_o seek_v always_o our_o own_o satisfaction_n and_o not_o our_o great_a perfection_n if_o peradventure_o they_o have_v regard_n to_o our_o infirmity_n and_o that_o the_o superior_a put_v we_o to_o the_o choice_n of_o a_o book_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v then_o we_o may_v choose_v it_o with_o simplicity_n but_o further_a than_o so_o we_o must_v remain_v always_o humble_o submiss_a to_o all_o that_o which_o the_o

if_o we_o shall_v be_v amaze_v to_o see_v imperfection_n among_o ourselves_o or_o in_o our_o superior_n touch_v the_o first_o point_n it_o be_v without_o doubt_n you_o ought_v not_o at_o all_o to_o be_v amaze_v if_o you_o see_v some_o imperfection_n here_o within_o even_o as_o in_o other_o house_n of_o religious_a woman_n how_o perfect_a soever_o they_o be_v for_o you_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o do_v so_o much_o as_o not_o to_o commit_v some_o defect_n here_o and_o there_o according_a as_o you_o shall_v be_v exercise_v it_o be_v no_o great_a marvel_n to_o see_v a_o religious_a who_o have_v nothing_o which_o trouble_v she_o or_o exercise_v she_o to_o be_v very_o gentle_a and_o to_o commit_v few_o fault_n when_o they_o say_v to_o i_o behold_v such_o a_o one_o who_o we_o

we_o say_v they_o be_v true_o very_a exemplar_n and_o of_o great_a edification_n but_o if_o you_o come_v to_o prove_v it_o you_o shall_v see_v they_o present_o move_v and_o witness_v how_o their_o sweetness_n be_v not_o a_o strong_a and_o solid_a virtue_n but_o imaginary_a rather_o than_o true_a there_o be_v much_o difference_n between_o have_v cessation_n from_o vice_n and_o have_v virtue_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o it_o many_o seem_v to_o be_v very_o virtuous_a who_o nevertheless_o have_v not_o virtue_n because_o they_o have_v not_o purchase_v it_o with_o labour_n very_o often_o it_o happen_v that_o our_o passion_n sleep_v and_o rest_v senseless_a and_o if_o in_o this_o mean_a time_n we_o do_v not_o make_v provision_n of_o force_n to_o fight_v against_o they_o and_o to_o resist_v they_o when_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o awake_v we_o shall_v be_v overcome_v in_o the_o battle_n we_o must_v always_o remain_v humble_a and_o not_o believe_v that_o we_o have_v virtue_n although_o

that_o the_o person_n that_o make_v profession_n of_o perfection_n shall_v not_o stumble_v into_o imperfection_n and_o particular_o religious_a because_o it_o seem_v unto_o they_o that_o enter_v

well_o you_o will_v have_v much_o feel_n of_o the_o correction_n if_o it_o be_v do_v to_o you_o we_o must_v also_o dear_o love_v this_o ●biection_n and_o humble_v ourselves_o as_o arsenius_n do_v
