ronvere_n 9_o hierm._n 22._o he_o love_v they_o here_o by_o grace_n and_o in_o heaven_n and_o that_o eternal_o by_o eternal_a glory_n wherefore_o o_o my_o sweet_a saviour_n thou_o who_o in_o this_o b._n sacrament_n have_v show_v thyself_o a_o supernatural_a and_o most_o perfect_a father_n and_o mother_n to_o all_o that_o receive_v thou_o in_o it_o and_o even_o to_o i_o though_o otherwise_o a_o wretched_a sinner_n love_v i_o i_o beseech_v thou_o as_o thy_o child_n for_o parent_n do_v natural_o love_v their_o child_n &_o love_v i_o perpetuallie_o here_o by_o thy_o grace_n and_o in_o heaven_n by_o thy_o eternal_a glory_n &_o if_o thou_o shall_v vouchsafe_v so_o to_o love_v i_o i_o care_v not_o though_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v hate_v i_o for_o if_o thou_o by_o thy_o love_n stand_v for_o i_o who_o can_v stand_v against_o i_o and_o because_o by_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n thou_o be_v my_o father_n &_o mother_n give_v i_o grace_v always_o to_o love_v thou_o also_o because_o child_n do_v natural_o love_v their_o parent_n and_o grant_v i_o grace_n to_o love_v thou_o above_o father_n and_o mother_n for_o that_o in_o this_o b._n sacrament_n thou_o be_v become_v unto_o i_o more_o than_o any_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o if_o thou_o love_v i_o how_o can_v i_o miscarry_v thou_o protect_v who_o thou_o love_v and_o if_o i_o love_v thou_o nothing_o can_v come_v amiss_o unto_o i_o be_v it_o prosperity_n or_o adversity_n health_n or_o siknes_n riches_n or_o poverty_n because_o to_o they_o that_o love_v thou_o all_o thing_n cooperate_v unto_o good_a ms_n ro._n ms_n and_o so_o even_o my_o sincne_n o_o lord_n though_o they_o dishonour_v thou_o and_o hurt_v i_o for_o a_o time_n yet_o if_o i_o love_v thou_o they_o will_v turn_v to_o thy_o great_a honour_n &_o my_o great_a spiritual_a profit_n because_o through_o thy_o grace_n they_o will_v turn_v as_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o marie_n magdalen_n to_o she_o motive_n to_o a_o great_a penance_n and_o spur_n to_o a_o better_a life_n

then_o who_o be_v endue_v with_o reason_n must_v honour_v his_o father_n and_o mother_n who_o beget_v he_o &_o bring_v he_o to_o light_n and_o after_o god_n give_v he_o his_o life_n and_o be_v and_o to_o this_o he_o be_v oblige_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n how_o much_o then_o o_o swear_v jesus_n shall_v i_o honour_v thou_o who_o in_o this_o b._n sacrament_n be_v a_o supernatural_a father_n and_o mother_n unto_o i_o and_o more_o than_o any_o father_n and_o mother_n thou_o command_v we_o o_o lord_n to_o acknowlge_v no_o other_o father_n they_o god_n say_v 23_o matt._n 23_o call_v

have_v have_v a_o taste_n of_o it_o we_o be_v weary_a of_o it_o and_o desire_v to_o change_v though_o sometime_o for_o worse_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o after_o many_o spiritual_a book_n set_v out_o heretofore_o by_o other_o i_o have_v not_o fear_v to_o set_v out_o i_o though_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o subject_n that_o other_o former_a book_n be_v see_v that_o though_o i_o treat_v of_o the_o same_o matter_n yet_o they_o do_v it_o in_o a_o diverse_a manner_n and_o so_o for_o variety_n may_v please_v i_o know_v well_o that_o many_o have_v write_v paraphrase_n upon_o the_o

read_v other_o paraphrase_n they_o will_v for_o variety_n be_v content_a to_o read_v i_o also_o and_o i_o be_v not_o deceive_v and_o although_o i_o be_v not_o ignorant_a that_o many_o author_n have_v write_v meditation_n upon_o the_o b._n sacrament_n and_o the_o sacred_a passion_n of_o christ_n yet_o for_o the_o aforesaid_a reason_n i_o now_o diwlge_v my_o meditation_n upon_o the_o same_o

this_o variety_n may_v delight_v and_o cause_v the_o receiver_n to_o come_v to_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n without_o any_o tediousness_n yea_o with_o great_a spiritual_a appetite_n and_o so_o i_o hope_v my_o meditation_n will_v not_o be_v ungrateful_a because_o in_o they_o there_o be_v variety_n and_o diversity_n also_o from_o the_o meditation_n which_o other_o have_v set_v forth_o other_o may_v have_v something_o which_o i_o have_v not_o and_o i_o may_v have_v something_o which_o they_o have_v not_o they_o may_v have_v their_o manner_n and_o i_o may_v have_v i_o they_o may_v have_v their_o invention_n i_o may_v have_v i_o and_o so_o both_o they_o and_o i_o may_v be_v please_v for_o as_o the_o same_o meat_n diverslie_o cook_v may_v be_v as_o please_v as_o diverse_a meat_n so_o the_o same_o matter_n handle_v by_o diverse_a diverslie_o may_v by_o reason_n of_o this_o variety_n prove_v no_o less_o please_v then_o diverse_a matter_n and_o subject_n otherwise_o if_o because_o that_o some_o have_v write_v of_o a_o subject_n other_o who_o succeed_v they_o must_v not_o touch_v that_o matter_n all_o modern_a author_n must_v abstain_v from_o writing_n because_o nothing_o can_v be_v now_o say_v which_o be_v not_o in_o substance_n say_v before_o for_o as_o ecclesiastes_n say_v in_o his_o time_n so_o much_o more_o may_v we_o now_o say_v in_o our_o time_n 1_o eccles_n 1_o nothing_o under_o the_o sun_n be_v new_a neither_o be_v any_o man_n able_a to_o say_v behold_v this_o be_v new_a for_o that_o it_o have_v already_o go_v before_o in_o the_o age_n that_o be_v before_o and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v diverse_a commentary_n upon_o the_o same_o book_n of_o scripture_n diverse_a sermon_n on_o the_o same_o holy_a day_n &_o text_n diverse_a book_n of_o the_o same_o part_n of_o philosophy_n &_o divinity_n this_o be_v premise_v for_o my_o excuse_n i_o will_v breeflie_o advertise_v the_o reader_n that_o meditation_n be_v not_o whatsoever_o speculation_n or_o discourse_n upon_o god_n or_o his_o divine_a perfection_n or_o the_o mystery_n of_o our_o faith_n for_o this_o speculation_n be_v only_o to_o discover_v the_o truth_n be_v not_o worthy_a the_o name_n of_o meditation_n which_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o mental_a prayer_n but_o meditation_n do_v speculate_v the_o aforesaid_a object_n &_o discourse_v on_o they_o to_o move_v some_o affection_n as_o love_v joy_n fear_n sorrow_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o mystery_n or_o object_n on_o which_o we_o meditate_v in_o this_o exercise_n of_o meditation_n as_o the_o contemplative_n do_v well_o observe_v there_o be_v three_o way_n to_o perfection_n the_o one_o be_v purgative_n when_o by_o meditation_n we_o stir_v up_o in_o we_o a_o fear_n of_o god_n &_o his_o judgement_n and_o sorrow_n for_o our_o sin_n or_o hatred_n of_o they_o by_o which_o our_o soul_n be_v purge_v from_o all_o filth_n of_o sin_n the_o second_o way_n be_v illuminative_a when_o by_o meditation_n our_o understanding_n be_v so_o illuminate_v as_o it_o see_v the_o excellency_n of_o virtue_n as_o of_o obedience_n humility_n poverty_n of_o spirit_n chastity_n and_o the_o like_a and_o see_v the_o beauty_n of_o it_o induce_v the_o will_n to_o love_v it_o and_o love_v it_o to_o practice_v and_o to_o get_v it_o the_o three_o way_n be_v vnitive_a when_o by_o meditation_n of_o god_n his_o divine_a perfection_n we_o stir_v up_o in_o our_o heart_n a_o love_n of_o god_n a_o complacence_n in_o his_o goodness_n or_o mercy_n or_o other_o his_o perfection_n and_o divine_a attribute_n &_o by_o this_o way_n our_o soul_n be_v unite_v to_o god_n the_o first_o way_n be_v of_o beginner_n the_o second_o of_o those_o that_o profit_n in_o the_o way_n of_o virtue_n the_o three_o of_o they_o that_o be_v perfect_a in_o my_o paraphrasis_fw-la and_o meditation_n of_o the_o psalm_n miserere_fw-la i_o have_v special_o show_v the_o purgative_n way_n induce_v the_o sinner_n to_o penance_n and_o sorrow_n for_o his_o sin_n by_o which_o sorrow_n the_o soul_n be_v purge_v from_o sin_n in_o my_o meditation_n upon_o the_o passion_n i_o propose_v the_o illuminative_a way_n because_o christ_n in_o his_o passion_n have_v set_v we_o example_n of_o all_o virtue_n in_o my_o meditation_n upon_o the_o b._n sacrament_n i_o teach_v the_o unitive_a way_n that_o sacrament_n by_o itself_o unite_n we_o real_o to_o christ_n and_o the_o
