act_n of_o repentance_n that_o be_v austere_a act_n of_o penance_n with_o fervent_a devotion_n thereby_o to_o abate_v their_o affection_n to_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o render_v their_o

first_o act_n that_o ever_o take_v possession_n of_o his_o heart_n new_o mould_v and_o right_o set_v for_o this_o purpose_n it_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o carry_v with_o it_o towards_o its_o belove_a

but_o how_o can_v this_o grace_n which_o be_v in_o his_o soul_n only_o work_v such_o good_a effect_n in_o his_o body_n the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v because_o his_o corporal_a constitution_n be_v

as_o long_o as_o man_n remain_v in_o that_o state_n the_o body_n can_v not_o choose_v but_o do_v that_o which_o it_o be_v fit_v to_o that_o be_v follow_v the_o inclination_n of_o the_o soul_n

which_o be_v to_o move_v the_o body_n can_v do_v nothing_o but_o by_o reason_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o adam_n his_o body_n be_v continual_o by_o this_o grace_n prevent_v with_o reason_n can_v not_o incline_v to_o any_o thing_n before_o reason_n give_v it_o leave_v and_o order_n and_o so_o this_o grace_n make_v his_o very_a corporal_a desire_n subject_a to_o reason_n 4._o what_o will_v

shall_v have_v their_o effect_n and_o so_o breed_v disease_n if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o cause_n of_o sickness_n we_o shall_v see_v that_o it_o proceed_v from_o some_o excess_n or_o defect_n which_o in_o that_o state_n will_v not_o have_v be_v when_o man_n have_v wit_n and_o will_n to_o provide_v against_o both_o beside_o god_n allmightie_a have_v fit_v the_o place_n of_o habitation_n to_o the_o

can_v not_o die_v but_o of_o age_n against_o which_o god_n have_v provide_v the_o tree_n of_o life_n to_o preserve_v he_o &_o so_o in_o conclusion_n he_o will_v have_v live_v for_o ever_o 6._o be_v this_o grace_n ardain_v only_o for_o adam_n no_o all_o his_o posterity_n will_v have_v be_v endue_v with_o the_o same_o derive_v from_o he_o to_o all_o by_o their_o very_a birth_n right_a as_o now_o we_o be_v all_o by_o our_o very_a conception_n infect_v with_o original_a fin_n derive_v from_o he_o &_o so_o all_o will_v have_v live_v in_o this_o world_n most_o happy_o and_o at_o last_o have_v be_v translate_v to_o heaven_n 7._o how_o can_v the_o grace_n of_o innocence_n which_o be_v unmediate_o in_o our_o soul_n come_v to_o we_o by_o birth_n from_o our_o parent_n who_o make_v only_o our_o body_n and_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o our_o soul_n but_o leave_v that_o to_o be_v make_v by_o god_n alone_o you_o may_v easy_o conceive_v this_o if_o you_o know_v how_o child_n come_v to_o be_v like_a to_o their_o father_n you_o must_v consider_v then_o that_o adam_n his_o body_n be_v design_v by_o god_n for_o a_o soul_n endow_v with_o original_a justice_n be_v fit_v for_o the_o operation_n of_o such_o a_o soul_n and_o consequent_o it_o be_v imbue_v with_o all_o such_o special_a disposition_n as_o be_v requisite_a to_o make_v it_o pliable_a and_o subject_a to_o reason_n now_o adam_n procreat_v his_o son_n body_n with_o the_o same_o good_a disposition_n which_o his_o own_o body_n have_v and_o allmightie_a god_n who_o have_v promise_v by_o covenant_n the_o grace_n of_o innocence_n to_o all_o his_o posterity_n in_o case_n that_o he_o himself_o do_v continue_v in_o his_o due_a obedience_n find_v those_o good_a disposition_n in_o the_o child_n body_n as_o a_o infallible_a token_n of_o his_o father_n actual_a perseverance_n in_o his_o first_o grace_n he_o can_v not_o fail_v to_o endow_v according_a to_o his_o promise_n the_o soul_n of_o adam_n son_n with_o the_o same_o grace_n of_o original_a justice_n which_o his_o father_n have_v and_o so_o see_v that_o these_o good_a disposition_n in_o the_o child_n body_n which_o be_v antecedent_n to_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o proceed_v from_o the_o like_a disposition_n in_o its_o parent_n will_v have_v be_v as_o a_o seal_n of_o god_n his_o covenant_n with_o mankind_n it_o follow_v that_o they_o will_v have_v draw_v by_o a_o necessary_a consequence_n in_o virtue_n of_o the_o say_a covenant_n original_a justice_n even_o in_o to_o the_o child_n his_o soul_n and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o this_o first_o grace_n be_v to_o come_v to_o we_o from_o our_o parent_n by_o our_o generation_n and_o it_o be_v most_o conformable_a to_o reason_n that_o it_o shall_v come_v that_o way_n for_o as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n it_o be_v natural_a that_o adam_n shall_v have_v make_v his_o son_n body_n like_o his_o own_o and_o consequent_o dispose_v in_o a_o special_a manner_n to_o be_v subject_a to_o reason_n so_o it_o be_v most_o reasonable_a that_o almighty_a god_n shall_v fit_a the_o soul_n to_o the_o son_n body_n which_o will_v not_o have_v be_v unless_o he_o have_v give_v he_o a_o soul_n apt_a to_o love_n god_n above_o all_o thing_n see_v that_o the_o actual_a subjection_n of_o the_o body_n to_o reason_n do_v proceed_v from_o such_o a_o disposition_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o the_o grace_n to_o love_n god_n above_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v common_o call_v justice_n or_o sanctity_n be_v give_v to_o adam_n so_o as_o to_o descend_v from_o he_o unto_o his_o

know_v whether_o we_o have_v these_o supernatural_a act_n of_o sorrow_n and_o the_o love_n of_o god_n or_o no_o and_o how_o great_a and_o intense_a this_o sorrow_n of_o mind_n ought_v to_o be_v that_o it_o may_v attain_v the_o degree_n of_o perfect_a attrition_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o most_o commendable_a thing_n that_o sometime_o we_o shall_v make_v general_a confession_n as_o some_o do_v yearly_a that_o thereby_o lay_v before_o our_o eye_n the_o number_n of_o our_o offence_n and_o grievous_a sin_n and_o by_o help_n of_o spiritual_a exercise_n we_o may_v be_v move_v to_o a_o more_o

to_o be_v scrupulous_a in_o search_v the_o motive_n and_o measure_n of_o this_o sorrow_n but_o we_o must_v remit_v the_o rest_n to_o the_o merciful_a goodness_n of_o god_n and_o go_v with_o confidence_n and_o humility_n to_o the_o priest_n to_o receive_v absolution_n though_o our_o sin_n be_v never_o so_o great_a hope_v that_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n almighty_a god_n will_v strengthen_v our_o heart_n with_o his_o divine_a love_n and_o supply_v the_o defect_n and_o weakensse_n of_o contrition_n in_o we_o by_o accept_v our_o desire_n thereof_o and_o here_o also_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v as_o well_o touch_v contrition_n as_o attrition_n that_o some_o think_v they_o have_v no_o love_n towards_o god_n not_o sorrow_n for_o their_o sin_n unless_o their_o affection_n be_v accompany_v with_o sensible_a passion_n but_o they_o be_v exceed_o deceive_v for_o this_o love_n and_o grief_n be_v pure_o spiritual_a it_o be_v not_o seat_v in_o the_o

it_o overcome_v the_o contradiction_n of_o sense_n and_o therefore_o the_o love_n and_o grief_n which_o we_o feel_v for_o worldly_a thing_n be_v oftentimes_o accompany_v with_o a_o certain_a

our_o sin_n be_v more_o intense_a in_o the_o reasonable_a part_n of_o man_n which_o be_v his_o judgement_n and_o his_o will_n for_o the_o motive_n of_o love_n and_o grief_n in_o contrition_n be_v

draw_v you_o into_o sin_n and_o study_v with_o yourself_o and_o take_v your_o ghostly_a father_n advice_n how_o without_o great_a to_o avoid_v such_o occasion_n and_o you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o

be_v think_v to_o have_v a_o efficacious_a purpose_n to_o avoid_v his_o sin_n who_o think_v it_o not_o worth_a his_o care_n how_o to_o amend_v they_o and_o therefore_o those_o who_o return_v still_o with_o the_o same_o sin_n out_o of_o neglect_n to_o do_v these_o thing_n be_v uncapable_a of_o absolution_n unless_o they_o resolve_v to_o amend_v the_o say_a neglect_n 16._o but_o what_o if_o after_o all_o this_o they_o do_v still_o return_v with_o the_o same_o sin_n it_o will_v not_o easy_o fall_v out_o so_o for_o god_n be_v always_o ready_a to_o assist_v we_o when_o we_o ourselves_o do_v our_o

themselves_o who_o think_v they_o have_v a_o firm_a purpose_n if_o no_o amendment_n follow_v it_o where_o you_o must_v note_v that_o he_o who_o fall_v into_o the_o same_o sin_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v think_v to_o have_v no_o amendment_n of_o his_o life_n as_o long_o as_o he_o fall_v not_o so_o often_o nor_o upon_o so_o slight_a temptation_n as_o before_o and_o if_o after_o his_o fall_n he_o find_v a_o great_a remorse_n of_o conscience_n then_o former_o and_o a_o more_o earnest_a and_o speedy_a desire_n to_o be_v reconcile_v again_o to_o god_n and_o withal_o a_o serious_a and_o evident_a
