on_o i_o and_o if_o it_o will_v not_o be_v too_o tedious_a to_o you_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o some_o thing_n which_o will_v be_v not_o a_o little_a congruous_a to_o this_o place_n and_o will_v be_v profitable_a for_o you_o to_o hear_v it_o then_o very_a many_o of_o the_o people_n altogether_o with_o one_o voice_n say_v speak_v assure_o sir_n for_o you_o shall_v find_v we_o patient_a and_o benevolous_a hearer_n i_o rehearse_v therefore_o unto_o you_o beloved_n a_o thing_n that_o befall_v myself_o upon_o a_o certain_a time_n i_o sit_v alone_o in_o a_o cell_n and_o when_o i_o have_v begin_v to_o think_v of_o the_o wonderful_a thing_n of_o god_n and_o how_o strange_a the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n be_v at_o this_o time_n how_o all_o good_a order_n be_v too_o much_o neglect_v and_o go_v to_o rack_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o these_o meditation_n i_o hear_v a_o certain_a voice_n with_o my_o bodily_a ear_n speak_v to_o i_o although_o i_o see_v no_o body_n at_o all_o but_o after_o this_o manner_n it_o speak_v arise_v now_o you_o must_v experience_n some_o thing_n whereby_o you_o may_v be_v enable_v so_o much_o the_o more_o certain_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n open_o to_o your_o neighbour_n and_o at_o this_o last_o word_n i_o be_v deprive_v of_o all_o my_o sensual_a discern_a and_o be_v take_v into_o a_o ecstasy_n i_o be_v in_o that_o very_a rapture_n permit_v to_o see_v into_o purgatory_n where_o i_o behold_v the_o torment_n of_o multitude_n of_o man_n many_o of_o which_o i_o know_v so_o painful_a and_o so_o intolerable_o bitter_a and_o so_o immense_a punishment_n and_o sorrow_n so_o intense_a and_o fearful_a that_o no_o reason_n no_o understanding_n be_v sufficient_a to_o express_v they_o in_o brief_a take_v it_o for_o certain_a that_o i_o behold_v there_o so_o many_o so_o various_a and_o divers_a kind_n of_o torment_n in_o a_o wonderful_a manner_n painful_a that_o such_o a_o terror_n and_o tremble_a have_v seize_v upon_o i_o that_o all_o the_o natural_a joy_n of_o this_o life_n can_v in_o no_o wise_n make_v i_o merry_a and_o if_o i_o shall_v live_v yet_o a_o hundred_o year_n i_o think_v i_o shall_v never_o be_v merry_a except_o god_n shall_v make_v i_o so_o by_o some_o supernatural_a mean_n but_o i_o beseech_v you_o beloved_n let_v not_o any_o be_v offend_v at_o this_o that_o i_o will_v relate_v such_o thing_n as_o these_o be_v unto_o you_o true_o i_o fear_v that_o some_o peradventure_o do_v think_v that_o in_o divulge_v these_o thing_n i_o seek_v glory_n to_o myself_o but_o let_v i_o assure_v you_o i_o seek_v or_o wish_v the_o praise_n of_o no_o man_n nay_o nor_o the_o wealth_n of_o any_o one_o for_o this_o reason_n for_o i_o be_o abundant_o content_v with_o those_o thing_n which_o in_o our_o monastery_n according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o covent_n be_v provide_v for_o i_o nay_o i_o be_o never_o without_o fear_n lest_o peradventure_o i_o shall_v take_v that_o which_o be_v superfluous_a of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v set_v before_o i_o in_o our_o hall_n and_o certain_o i_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o here_o present_a who_o if_o he_o have_v see_v and_o experience_v those_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v see_v and_o experience_v namely_o such_o horrible_a and_o fearful_a punishment_n but_o will_v peradventure_n have_v be_v better_o content_v with_o a_o small_a provision_n and_o allowance_n than_o i_o be_o therefore_o let_v none_o of_o you_o be_v scandalize_v at_o my_o word_n fore-spoken_a in_o good_a earnest_n i_o find_v no_o other_o cause_n why_o god_n will_v have_v i_o to_o see_v such_o thing_n but_o because_o of_o my_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n that_o i_o may_v both_o reform_v myself_o and_o the_o more_o bold_o speak_v to_o other_o the_o truth_n which_o i_o have_v certain_o know_v and_o in_o no_o wise_n flatter_v their_o wickedness_n and_o sin_n and_o hence_o if_o i_o be_v sure_a for_o this_o cause_n to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n i_o shall_v nevertheless_o speak_v the_o naked_a and_o simple_a truth_n true_o i_o see_v some_o in_o those_o most_o vehement_a pain_n and_o be_v take_v with_o extreme_a admiration_n that_o they_o shall_v desire_v to_o remain_v so_o long_o in_o so_o great_a anguish_n since_o some_o of_o they_o have_v depart_v this_o life_n many_o year_n before_o who_o whilst_o they_o live_v i_o do_v believe_v be_v both_o good_a and_o pious_a and_o yet_o they_o do_v undergo_v in_o those_o place_n of_o purgatory_n so_o great_a and_o ineffable_a punishment_n that_o no_o man_n can_v in_o this_o life_n ponder_v or_o understand_v they_o as_o they_o deserve_v wherefore_o this_o i_o from_o my_o heart_n do_v counsel_n all_o that_o we_o slight_v not_o purgatory_n but_o be_v speedy_o convert_v and_o serious_o reform_v ourselves_o certain_o if_o you_o do_v know_v how_o above_o measure_n valuable_a and_o profitable_a the_o present_a time_n be_v you_o will_v not_o esteem_v it_o so_o little_a nor_o suffer_v it_o to_o pass_v away_o so_o

pass_v upon_o those_o who_o suffer_v this_o present_a time_n foolish_o to_o pass_v away_o but_o what_o shall_v i_o say_v belove_v for_o if_o i_o attempt_v to_o speak_v any_o thing_n to_o you_o of_o divine_a justice_n that_o be_v so_o immeasurable_a strict_a and_o rigid_a that_o i_o fear_v some_o of_o you_o may_v take_v occasion_n of_o despair_n from_o hence_o if_o contrariwise_o i_o will_v discourse_v of_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n how_o ready_a he_o be_v to_o show_v it_o to_o all_o in_o this_o life_n i_o fear_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n some_o will_v presume_v so_o upon_o it_o that_o they_o will_v live_v worse_o and_o more_o foolish_o and_o so_o may_v admit_v of_o some_o such_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v god_n will_v not_o pardon_v either_o here_o or_o hereafter_o i_o fear_v true_o beloved_n lest_o i_o have_v be_v too_o tedious_a although_o many_o thing_n yet_o remain_v to_o be_v speak_v of_o divers_a sort_n of_o man_n and_o divers_a affair_n because_o that_o we_o have_v go_v too_o far_o astray_o from_o the_o right_a way_n and_o in_o truth_n if_o i_o do_v lay_v aside_o all_o thing_n else_o attend_v only_o the_o duty_n of_o preach_v for_o this_o whole_a year_n
