as_o if_o they_o shall_v study_v to_o preach_v they_o the_o which_o disorderlie_a manner_n be_v rather_o to_o cause_v the_o spirit_n to_o wander_v more_o abroad_o than_o to_o recollecte_n it_o and_o

their_o exercise_n for_o to_o speak_v the_o very_a truth_n they_o have_v not_o pray_v but_o rather_o talk_v and_o study_v which_o be_v a_o thing_n far_o diferente_a from_o prayer_n such_o person_n

consider_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o pain_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n that_o we_o may_v take_v compassion_n of_o they_o we_o must_v consider_v the_o greatness_n of_o our_o own_o sin_n that_o

of_o the_o goodness_n of_o almighty_a god_n which_o in_o this_o holy_a passion_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v discover_v unto_o we_o that_o we_o may_v very_o hearty_o love_v the_o same_o pass_v great_a

of_o the_o wisdom_n of_o almighty_a god_n and_o be_v the_o more_o confirm_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o this_o holy_a mystery_n of_o these_o six_o point_n we_o intend_v now_o to_o treat_v and_o of_o

§_o i._o first_o we_o must_v consider_v the_o pass_v great_a pain_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n to_o provoke_v ourselves_o by_o that_o consideration_n to_o take_v compassion_n of_o they_o as_o

cause_n be_v the_o pass_v greatness_n of_o his_o charity_n which_o make_v he_o desirous_a to_o redeem_v mankind_n most_o abundant_o and_o to_o satisfy_v most_o perfect_o for_o the_o injury_n and_o offence_n commit_v against_o the_o divine_a majesty_n and_o because_o the_o great_a pain_n he_o shall_v suffer_v the_o more_o perfect_o he_o shall_v accomplish_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o and_o he_o want_v not_o the_o force_n of_o grace_n to_o bear_v as_o great_a a_o burden_n as_o he_o will_v therefore_o he_o will_v that_o his_o pain_n shall_v be_v pass_v great_a that_o so_o likewise_o the_o satisfaction_n which_o he_o shall_v make_v for_o our_o debt_n and_o the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n may_v be_v also_o pass_v great_a the_o second_o cause_n which_o follow_v hereof_o be_v that_o he_o suffer_v his_o pay_n without_o any_o manner_n of_o ease_n or_o consolation_n for_o accord_v to_o the_o reason_n before_o mention_v he_o shut_v up_o from_o himself_o all_o the_o gate_n whereby_o any_o manner_n of_o consolation_n may_v come_v unto_o he_o either_o from_o heaven_n or_o from_o earth_n insomuche_o that_o he_o be_v content_a to_o be_v forsake_v not_o only_o of_o his_o
