they_o judge_v of_o the_o chief_a promise_n according_a to_o the_o limit_n of_o their_o present_a feel_n that_o be_v because_o in_o the_o agony_n of_o their_o load_a spirit_n they_o feel_v most_o

these_o treatise_n and_o here_o i_o will_v frame_v my_o speech_n to_o two_o sort_n the_o one_o weak_a and_o more_o ignorant_a the_o other_o such_o as_o will_v think_v themselves_o more_o judicious_a to_o the_o former_a i_o say_v this_o first_o that_o whereas_o weak_a one_o light_v upon_o a_o book_n of_o this_o nature_n cleave_v in_o two_o and_o divide_v be_v ready_a to_o inquire_v whether_o part_n be_v more_o necessary_a and_o as_o they_o fancy_n so_o to_o take_v what_o they_o listen_v and_o leave_v what_o they_o please_v fall_v upon_o that_o part_n which_o they_o think_v neerly_o join_v with_o practice_n pass_v by_o the_o other_o as_o less_o needful_a therefore_o i_o advise_v all_o such_o to_o use_v a_o better_a order_n in_o their_o read_n and_o as_o josephs_n servant_n do_v in_o the_o search_n of_o the_o sack_n to_o begin_v with_o the_o elder_a and_o first_o and_o to_o end_v with_o the_o last_o to_o read_v in_o order_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o foâ—mer_a part_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o latter_a by_o which_o mean_v it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o understand_v their_o ground_n distinct_o and_o wise_o they_o shall_v proceed_v to_o practice_v with_o far_o great_a light_n and_o savour_n than_o otherwise_o they_o shall_v do_v by_o their_o confuse_a read_v i_o observe_v also_o another_o folly_n in_o weak_a one_o that_o when_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v offer_v they_o common_o catch_v up_o some_o book_n of_o that_o argument_n and_o while_o the_o pang_n last_v spend_v their_o devotion_n upon_o it_o till_o they_o be_v weary_a but_o no_o whit_n bend_v themselves_o to_o read_v those_o thing_n which_o chief_o concern_v they_o and_o although_o they_o shall_v light_v upon_o some_o such_o point_n yet_o the_o discourse_n be_v coherent_a and_o they_o very_a unsettle_a can_v scarce_o read_v over_o half_o one_o point_n therefore_o my_o counsel_n to_o such_o be_v to_o turn_v their_o sudden_a pang_n into_o a_o ordinary_a habit_n that_o be_v to_o devote_v themselves_o to_o a_o diligent_a read_n and_o coherent_a perusal_n of_o the_o thing_n as_o they_o be_v handle_v without_o slightness_n and_o needless_a interruption_n whereby_o they_o shall_v both_o meet_v with_o such_o thing_n as_o do_v most_o concern_v their_o estate_n and_o shall_v be_v able_a by_o take_v note_n thereof_o to_o turn_v to_o they_o at_o their_o need_n and_o not_o to_o be_v to_o seek_v of_o they_o nor_o wander_v in_o their_o read_n at_o uncertainty_n which_o will_v cause_v their_o read_n to_o be_v sweet_a when_o they_o feel_v gain_v to_o ensue_v thereby_o the_o latter_a caution_n to_o the_o more_o judicious_a be_v this_o that_o whereas_o some_o of_o they_o affect_v to_o be_v think_v so_o when_o they_o meet_v with_o a_o book_n of_o this_o nature_n partly_o contain_v contemplation_n partly_o practice_v these_o i_o say_v be_v in_o another_o extreme_a and_o think_v the_o latter_a to_o be_v under_o their_o curious_a brain_n do_v quite_o pass_v it_o over_o and_o if_o they_o think_v to_o get_v some_o new_a point_n of_o deep_a nature_n than_o ordinary_a or_o some_o distinction_n former_o unknown_a to_o they_o out_o of_o the_o contemplative_a discourse_n that_o they_o will_v fasten_v upon_o and_o study_v hard_a labour_v indeed_o rather_o to_o pride_n themselves_o with_o ostentation_n of_o some_o novelty_n or_o depth_n than_o to_o edify_v themselves_o with_o any_o practical_a and_o savoury_a truth_n as_o they_o be_v in_o jesus_n to_o these_o i_o say_v this_o that_o although_o i_o have_v be_v willing_a to_o handle_v the_o theory_n of_o this_o point_n of_o a_o sacrament_n both_o because_o its_o little_a look_v after_o and_o also_o for_o satisfaction_n of_o sober_a desire_n of_o knowledge_n yet_o my_o chief_a scope_n be_v rather_o to_o draw_v man_n to_o love_n and_o embrace_v the_o sacrament_n for_o their_o true_a gain_n and_o spiritual_a commodity_n than_o to_o humour_v any_o frothy_a brain_n in_o mere_a
