world_n of_o action_n into_o the_o company_n of_o persecute_v jew_n seduce_a and_o hypocritical_a pharisy_n yea_o into_o the_o winnow_n of_o satan_n himself_o and_o indeed_o general_o the_o apostle_n life_n be_v life_n of_o action_n and_o life_n of_o passion_n and_o if_o these_o apostle_n be_v the_o foundation_n and_o christ_n the_o corner_n stone_n then_o be_v active_a man_n the_o chief_a in_o heaven_n as_o be_v next_o unto_o christ_n and_o no_o contemplative_a man_n may_v ever_o sit_v above_o they_o for_o the_o foundation_n will_v still_o be_v near_o to_o the_o corner_n stone_n and_o nothing_o may_v go_v between_o they_o contemplation_n indeed_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a and_o in_o she_o own_o turn_n and_o time_n more_o necessary_a than_o action_n as_o mary_n hear_v in_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n preach_v be_v more_o necessary_a than_o marthaes_n serve_v but_o the_o same_o mary_fw-mi action_n of_o anoint_v christ_n in_o a_o due_a season_n be_v as_o famous_a as_o her_o hear_n of_o christ._n contemplation_n must_v not_o end_v in_o itself_o but_o it_o must_v proceed_v and_o the_o due_a proceed_n of_o it_o be_v to_o end_v in_o action_n when_o contemplation_n end_v in_o itself_o we_o may_v reap_v some_o pleasure_n to_o ourselves_o but_o nothing_o be_v reap_v to_o god_n but_o so_o it_o may_v not_o be_v for_o the_o end_n of_o our_o life_n be_v the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o the_o service_n of_o god_n be_v faith_n work_v by_o love_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o love_n be_v good_a work_n therefore_o we_o must_v proceed_v as_o far_o as_o these_o good_a work_n or_o else_o we_o be_v short_a of_o the_o end_n and_o scope_n of_o our_o life_n appoint_v by_o god_n and_o gregory_n himself_o confess_v that_o the_o contemplative_a life_n be_v barren_a like_o rahel_n and_o the_o active_a fruitful_a like_o leah_n even_o fruitful_a in_o save_v of_o soul_n now_o rahel_n please_v not_o herself_o in_o her_o barrenness_n nor_o shall_v the_o church_n of_o god_n but_o it_o shall_v cry_v as_o hearty_o though_o not_o so_o impatient_o give_v i_o child_n or_o else_o i_o die_v neither_o do_v christ_n the_o husband_n of_o the_o church_n love_n or_o reward_v barrenness_n but_o he_o desire_v that_o we_o bear_v much_o fruit_n and_o the_o especial_a fruit_n especial_o crown_v with_o the_o glory_n of_o star_n be_v save_v of_o soul_n according_o christ_n when_o thrice_o he_o have_v question_v peter_n of_o his_o love_v he_o &_o peter_n have_v thrice_o affirm_v it_o christ_n do_v not_o say_v to_o peter_n if_o thou_o love_v i_o be_v thou_o still_o look_v on_o i_o sit_v still_o and_o enjoy_v i_o and_o read_v and_o think_v only_o of_o i_o but_o peter_n if_o thou_o love_v i_o feed_v my_o sheep_n feed_v my_o lamb_n which_o show_v that_o a_o life_n of_o action_n and_o edification_n be_v the_o most_o noble_a fruit_n &_o notable_a effect_n which_o christ_n expect_v from_o his_o lover_n and_o according_o shall_v the_o last_o sentence_n be_v pronounce_v come_v you_o

feed_v i_o clothe_v i_o visit_v i_o in_o my_o member_n therefore_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o take_v not_o heaven_n too_o soon_o neither_o spend_v so_o much_o ou●_n time_n in_o enjoy_v the_o earnest_n that_o we_o abate_v the_o inheritance_n assure_v we_o by_o that_o earnest_n and_o indeed_o which_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n god_n deal_v so_o with_o we_o in_o this_o life_n that_o contemplation_n can_v be_v a_o whole_a employment_n to_o man._n therefore_o as_o before_o it_o appear_v to_o be_v unlawful_a now_o it_o also_o appear_v to_o be_v impossible_a for_o well_o do_v every_o saint_n of_o god_n know_v that_o the_o glory_n and_o comfort_n of_o contemplation_n last_v but_o some_o turn_n and_o then_o come_v a_o ebb_n of_o grace_n a_o night_n of_o vision_n and_o perchance_o a_o long_a storm_n of_o satan_n buffet_n either_o the_o spirit_n withdraw_v his_o glorious_a beam_n from_o the_o soul_n or_o the_o soul_n itself_o be_v forsake_v of_o the_o body_n as_o not_o able_a to_o endure_v a_o long_o bend_v of_o high_a meditation_n or_o else_o the_o flesh_n have_v leave_v to_o take_v we_o down_o by_o temptation_n that_o the_o height_n of_o contemplation_n may_v not_o

infirmity_n be_v a_o chief_a preserver_n of_o humility_n and_o even_o in_o these_o time_n though_o we_o have_v not_o the_o joy_n &_o ability_n of_o contemplation_n yet_o be_v we_o outward_o able_a for_o action_n and_o we_o can_v profit_v other_o when_o we_o seem_v whole_o unprofitable_a to_o ourselves_o therefore_o to_o fall_v into_o a_o true_a moderation_n and_o indifferency_n between_o contemplation_n and_o action_n let_v this_o be_v our_o rule_n that_o contemplation_n nourish_v and_o feed_v action_n but_o not_o devour_v it_o that_o we_o contemplate_v to_o know_v god_n and_o to_o love_n god_n that_o we_o know_v and_o love_v he_o to_o please_v he_o and_o serve_v he_o in_o the_o action_n of_o some_o profitable_a vocation_n we_o may_v not_o quench_v contemplation_n for_o it_o warm_v the_o soul_n cheer_v and_o heat_v she_o to_o action_n again_o we_o must_v not_o exclude_v action_n for_o that_o be_v to_o water_v the_o root_n and_o to_o pull_v away_o the_o bud_n and_o so_o to_o prevent_v the_o fruit_n the_o excellency_n of_o contemplation_n and_o action_n be_v the_o concord_n of_o they_o therefore_o let_v we_o be_v contemplative_a that_o we_o may_v be_v active_a and_o in_o our_o activeness_n strive_v very_o to_o express_v our_o contemplation_n for_o contemplation_n be_v then_o most_o commendable_a when_o it_o be_v express_v in_o deed_n and_o not_o when_o it_o be_v
