we_o ought_v not_o to_o refuse_v to_o receive_v such_o into_o the_o novitiat_a although_o they_o have_v many_o evil_a habit_n provide_v such_o person_n will_v be_v cure_v in_o sum_n to_o receive_v

concern_v this_o second_o reception_n §_o 10._o for_o the_o three_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o great_a importance_n to_o receive_v any_o to_o profession_n and_o in_o this_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o we_o ought_v to_o observe_v three_o thing_n the_o first_o that_o those_o we_o receive_v to_o profession_n be_v sound_v not_o of_o body_n as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v but_o of_o hart_n and_o spirit_n i_o will_v say_v who_o have_v their_o hart_n well_o dispose_v to_o live_v in_o a_o entire_a flexiblenesse_n and_o submission_n secondlie_o that_o they_o have_v a_o good_a spirit_n now_o when_o i_o say_v a_o good_a spirit_n i_o intend_v not_o to_o speak_v of_o those_o great_a spirit_n who_o be_v ordinary_o vain_a and_o full_a of_o selfe-iudgment_n of_o imaginary_a sufficiency_n and_o who_o in_o the_o world_n be_v shop_n of_o vanity_n who_o come_v into_o religion_n not_o to_o humble_v themselves_o but_o as_o if_o they_o will_v read_v there_o lesson_n of_o philosophy_n and_o theologie_n have_v a_o will_n to_o guide_v and_o govern_v all_o of_o such_o as_o these_o you_o must_v take_v great_a heed_n i_o say_v there_o must_v be_v good_a care_n take_v of_o they_o not_o that_o they_o must_v not_o be_v receive_v if_o we_o see_v that_o they_o will_v be_v change_v and_o humble_a themselves_o for_o they_o will_v be_v able_a in_o time_n with_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o make_v this_o change_n which_o will_v arrive_v without_o doubt_n if_o they_o use_v faithful_o the_o remedy_n which_o shall_v be_v give_v they_o for_o their_o amendment_n therefore_o when_o i_o speak_v of_o a_o good_a spirit_n i_o intend_v judicious_a and_o well_o make_v spirit_n and_o moreover_o of_o a_o moderate_a temper_n who_o be_v not_o very_o great_a nor_o very_o little_a for_o such_o spirit_n always_o do_v much_o without_o know_v it_o themselves_o they_o apply_v themselves_o to_o work_v and_o give_v themselves_o to_o solid_a virtue_n they_o be_v tractable_a and_o we_o have_v not_o much_o trouble_n to_o guide_v they_o for_o they_o easy_o comprehend_v how_o good_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o leave_v themselves_o to_o be_v govern_v by_o other_o the_o three_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v be_v this_o if_o she_o have_v labour_v well_o in_o the_o year_n of_o her_o novitiat_a if_o she_o have_v suffer_v well_o and_o profit_v with_o the_o medecine_n that_o have_v be_v give_v she_o if_o she_o have_v make_v much_o of_o those_o resolution_n that_o she_o promise_v enter_v into_o the_o novitiat_a of_o change_v her_o evil_a humour_n and_o inclination_n for_o the_o year_n of_o novitiat_a have_v be_v give_v she_o for_o this_o if_o we_o see_v she_o have_v persevere_v faithful_o in_o her_o resolution_n and_o that_o she_o will_v remain_v firm_a and_o constant_a and_o that_o she_o apply_v herself_o to_o reform_v herself_o and_o behave_v her_o self_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n and_o constitution_n and_o that_o this_o will_v endure_v yea_o always_o desire_v to_o do_v better_o this_o be_v a_o good_a sign_n and_o a_o good_a condition_n for_o to_o give_v she_o your_o voice_n although_o notwithstanding_o she_o leave_v not_o to_o commit_v fault_n and_o also_o great_a enough_o for_o although_o in_o the_o year_n of_o her_o novitiat_a she_o ought_v to_o labour_v for_o the_o reformation_n of_o her_o manner_n and_o habit_n it_o be_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v say_v that_o she_o must_v not_o make_v any_o relapse_n nor_o that_o at_o the_o end_n of_o her_o novitiat_a she_o ought_v to_o be_v perfect_a for_o behold_v the_o college_n of_o our_o lord_n the_o glorious_a apostle_n although_o they_o be_v call_v well_o and_o have_v labour_v much_o in_o the_o reformation_n of_o their_o life_n how_o often_o do_v they_o commit_v fault_n not_o only_o in_o the_o first_o year_n but_o also_o in_o the_o second_o and_o three_o all_o do_v speak_v and_o promise_v maruelle_n yea_o even_o to_o follow_v our_o lord_n into_o prison_n and_o death_n but_o in_o the_o night_n of_o his_o passion_n when_o judas_n come_v to_o take_v their_o good_a master_n all_o forsake_v he_o therefore_o i_o will_v say_v that_o fall_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v a_o cause_n that_o we_o reject_v one_o when_o among_o all_o this_o she_o remain_v with_o a_o very_a strong_a will_n to_o redress_v herself_o and_o with_o a_o will_n to_o help_v herself_o by_o the_o mean_n which_o be_v give_v she_o for_o this_o purpose_n this_o be_v that_o i_o have_v to_o say_v touch_v the_o condition_n which_o those_o aught_o to_o have_v who_o we_o will_v receive_v to_o profession_n and_o what_o the_o sister_n ought_v to_o observe_v to_o give_v they_o their_o voice_n hereupon_o i_o will_v finish_v my_o discourse_n if_o you_o demand_v not_o any_o further_a question_n §_o 11._o we_o demand_v first_o if_o any_o one_o be_v find_v who_o be_v subject_a to_o be_v trouble_v for_o small_a matter_n and_o that_o her_o spirit_n be_v often_o full_a of_o melencholie_n and_o unquietness_n and_o that_o she_o do_v
