you_o for_o diverse_a reason_n first_o because_o nothing_o be_v of_o such_o force_n to_o move_v man_n mind_n and_o to_o inflame_v they_o with_o the_o fire_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n as_o the_o serious_a cogitation_n of_o benefit_n especial_o such_o as_o be_v so_o great_a and_o proceed_v from_o so_o great_a a_o lord_n and_o god_n some_o indeed_o who_o conscience_n be_v oppress_v with_o the_o

as_o serve_v almighty_a god_n rather_o for_o love_v than_o fear_n be_v whole_o set_v on_o fire_n with_o the_o love_n of_o their_o redeemer_n through_o the_o remembrance_n and_o meditation_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n second_o because_o nothing_o do_v so_o easy_o present_v itself_o unto_o our_o understanding_n as_o the_o meditation_n of_o the_o pain_n torment_n sorrow_n and_o tribulation_n wherewith_o in_o our_o whole_a life_n we_o be_v environ_v and_o beset_v on_o every_o side_n as_o for_o heaven_n hell_n and_o the_o last_o judgement_n because_o they_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o our_o

mind_n we_o understand_v oftentimes_o by_o experience_n more_o than_o we_o will_v three_o because_o i_o know_v no_o meditation_n to_o be_v more_o acceptable_a to_o our_o bless_a saviour_n then_o that_o which_o we_o conceive_v of_o the_o bitter_a passion_n that_o he_o suffer_v for_o us._n for_o as_o a_o conqueror_n do_v rejoice_v at_o the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o battle_n so_o we_o may_v well_o think_v that_o christ_n our_o lord_n be_v delight_v when_o we_o do_v often_o remember_v his_o passion_n both_o because_o by_o so_o bloody_a a_o combat_n he_o have_v obtain_v a_o perpetual_a and_o renown_a victory_n both_o for_o himself_o and_o we_o and_o also_o because_o herein_o he_o see_v our_o thankfulness_n which_o we_o render_v unto_o he_o for_o so_o great_a a_o benefit_n four_o because_o i_o perceive_v that_o the_o meditation_n of_o no_o other_o thing_n can_v be_v so_o necessary_a for_o mankind_n as_o of_o that_o from_o which_o alone_o be_v derive_v unto_o we_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n our_o justification_n our_o work_n of_o merit_n and_o our_o whole_a salvation_n which_o certain_o be_v the_o principal_a cause_n why_o the_o catholic_a church_n according_a to_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o apostle_n have_v ordain_v that_o the_o memory_n of_o this_o passion_n shall_v by_o sundry_a way_n be_v so_o often_o iterate_v as_o by_o make_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n with_o our_o hand_n by_o picture_n and_o image_n of_o the_o passion_n which_o the_o say_v people_n be_v accustom_v to_o use_v in_o stead_n of_o book_n by_o fast_v on_o friday_n and_o saturday_n by_o the_o yearly_a celebritry_n of_o the_o passion_n in_o the_o end_n of_o lent_n by_o sermon_n by_o lesson_n by_o sound_v of_o bell_n and_o such_o like_a yea_o christ_n himself_o have_v institute_v a_o most_o sacred_a and_o daily_a remembrance_n of_o his_o passion_n to_o wit_v the_o holy_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o mâ—sse_n wherein_o his_o death_n and_o shed_v of_o his_o blood_n be_v most_o clear_o represent_v unto_o us._n five_o because_o great_a utility_n redound_v unto_o we_o by_o these_o meditation_n then_o by_o the_o contemplation_n of_o any_o other_o

you_o may_v understand_v after_o what_o manner_n you_o may_v be_v employ_v with_o profit_n in_o these_o ensue_a meditation_n for_o by_o these_o seven_o way_n as_o by_o seven_o tooth_n the_o matter_n

apostle_n say_v we_o have_v not_o a_o high_a priest_n that_o can_v have_v compassion_n on_o our_o infirmity_n but_o tempt_v in_o all_o thing_n by_o similitude_n except_o sin_n and_o true_o although_o we_o can_v lessen_v by_o this_o our_o sorrow_n the_o most_o grievous_a and_o exessive_a sorrow_n that_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v for_o we_o yet_o this_o our_o compassion_n be_v most_o grateful_a to_o

immanity_n of_o his_o torment_n if_o therefore_o we_o desire_v to_o feeâ—e_v in_o our_o heart_n this_o commiseration_n we_o must_v consider_v in_o every_o article_n first_o who_o it_o be_v that_o suffer_v as_o first_o that_o it_o be_v god_n who_o with_o his_o majesty_n fill_v heaven_n and_o earth_n second_o a_o most_o honourable_a man_n descend_v of_o the_o house_n of_o david_n and_o

his_o soul_n sustain_v their_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a torture_n second_o that_o his_o â—_z be_v most_o grievous_a both_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o most_o tender_a constitution_n of_o his_o body_n and_o also_o because_o he_o want_v all_o interior_a comfort_n to_o endure_v the_o same_o certain_o it_o be_v the_o undoubted_a opinion_n of_o all_o divine_n that_o never_o any_o creature_n endure_v such_o pain_n and_o torment_n as_o our_o bless_a saviour_n do_v if_o we_o see_v a_o wicked_a man_n suffer_v such_o punishment_n as_o he_o have_v most_o just_o deserve_v we_o can_v but_o be_v move_v

for_o our_o sin_n when_o we_o be_v induce_v to_o a_o horror_n and_o detestation_n of_o our_o sin_n by_o the_o remembrance_n of_o our_o saviour_n passion_n which_o may_v easy_o be_v do_v if_o we_o ponder_v what_o the_o malice_n of_o sin_n be_v and_o what_o torment_v it_o have_v draw_v upon_o christ_n our_o saviour_n as_o god_n be_v infinite_a so_o the_o malice_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v commit_v

by_o that_o which_o be_v infinite_a wherefore_o either_o a_o infinite_a pain_n be_v to_o be_v endure_v which_o no_o finite_a creature_n can_v endure_v or_o for_o a_o infinite_a time_n which_o the_o
