i_o counseyll_v the_o in_o herte_n and_o in_o will_n that_o thou_o flee_v all_o such_o vanytee_n for_o though_o thou_o be_v lord_n or_o lady_n husbonde_a man_n or_o wife_n thou_o may_v have_v as_o stable_a a_o herte_n &_o will_n as_o some_o relygyous_a that_o sytte_n in_o the_o cloystres_n but_o so_o the_o it_o be_v that_o the_o moo_v sykere_a way_n be_v to_o flee_v as_o relygyous_a do_v but_z for_o all_o may_v not_o be_v man_n or_o woman_n of_o relygyon_n therefore_o of_o every_o degree_n in_o the_o world_n god_n have_v choose_v his_o servant_n what_o ever_o than_o thou_o be_v that_o wit_n come_v to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n begin_v first_o to_o do_v good_a dede_n with_o a_o good_a will_n and_o a_o contynuell_n desire_v after_o that_o desire_n fulfil_v thy_o will_n in_o deed_n with_o dyscrecyon_n that_o thou_o may_v continue_v to_o thy_o lyves_n end_n when_o thou_o have_v begin_v think_v in_o thy_o herte_n that_o god_n have_v gyve_v the_o such_o grace_n to_o begin_v that_o thing_n to_o his_o worship_n thou_o may_v well_o do_v it_o if_o thou_o will_v perform_v it_o in_o deed_n with_o the_o help_n of_o god_n after_o this_o point_n stand_v stable_o in_o will_n ask_v grace_n of_o perseveraunce_n and_o perform_v it_o in_o deed_n with_o a_o fervent_a spirit_n and_o when_o thou_o have_v begin_v dyscret_o though_o it_o be_v travaylous_a in_o the_o begin_n all_z that_o travail_n be_v it_o in_o fastynge_n wakynge_n prayer_n or_o any_o other_o ghoostly_a travail_n all_o shall_v be_v light_n to_o the_o &_o shall_v tear_v the_o in_o so_o great_a mirth_n and_o ghoostly_a conforte_n that_o thou_o shall_v set_v lytell_a by_o the_o pass_v joy_n and_o the_o vanytee_n of_o the_o world_n stand_v than_o stable_o in_o will_n and_o in_o deed_n and_o god_n almyghty_a that_o have_v begin_v good_a werke_n in_o the_o will_v norysshe_v the_o forth_o in_o all_o virtue_n defend_v the_o from_o thy_o enemy_n teach_v the_o to_o love_v he_o and_o keep_v the_o in_o to_o his_o love_n to_o thy_o lyves_n end_n after_o this_o death_n thou_o shall_v not_o drede_v for_o thou_o shall_v ever_o abide_v in_o his_o kingdom_n where_o that_o be_v no_o care_n ne_o drede_v but_o all_o joy_n &_o conforte_n for_o evermore_o last_a ¶_o now_o i_o have_v show_v to_o the_o four_o degree_n of_o love_n &_o declare_v here_o fyve_o specyall_a virtue_n which_o as_o i_o thynk_v be_v moost_n nedeful_a every_o man_n for_o to_o have_v that_o will_v travail_v in_o ghoostly_a werke_n &_o to_o all_o other_o manner_n man_n and_o woman_n they_o be_v full_o spedefull_a to_o know_v whether_o they_o be_v relygyous_a or_o secular_a and_o for_o as_o moche_v as_o many_o in_o the_o beginning_n have_v full_a lytell_a savour_n in_o devoute_a prayer_n or_o in_o holy_a medytaconn_n some_o peraventure_fw-fr for_o tender_a age_n &_o some_o for_o unconning_a therefore_o to_o such_o simple_a folk_n i_o will_v show_v a_o manner_n form_n how_o by_o medytacyon_n they_o may_v be_v styre_v to_o devocyon_n and_o what_o manner_n prayer_n shall_v be_v to_o theym_a need_n full_a ab_fw-la ¶_o by_o what_o prayer_n or_o thought_n thou_o may_v be_v styre_v to_o devocyon_n than_o thou_o ordeyne_v the_o to_o pray_v or_o have_v any_o devocyon_n find_v to_o have_v a_o prevy_a place_n from_o all_o manner_n noise_n &_o time_n of_o rest_n wtout_fw-fr any_o letting_a sit_v there_o or_o knee_n there_o as_o be_v moost_n to_o thy_o ease_n than_o be_v thou_o lord_n or_o lady_n think_v well_o thou_o have_v a_o god_n that_o make_v the_o of_o nought_o which_o have_v gyve_v to_o the_o thy_o right_a wytte_n right_a limb_n &_o other_o worldly_a ease_n more_o than_o to_o some_o other_o as_o thou_o may_v see_v aldaye_n that_o live_v in_o great_a disease_n &_o moche_n bodily_a myschyef_n think_v also_o how_o synful_a thou_o be_v &_o be_v not_o the_o keep_a of_o that_o good_a god_n thou_o shall_v fall_v in_o to_o all_o manner_n of_o sin_n by_o thy_o own_o wretchedness_n &_o than_o thou_o may_v think_v soth_o as_o of_o thyself_o that_o there_o be_v none_o so_o synful_a as_o thou_o be_v also_o if_o thou_o have_v any_o virtue_n or_o grace_n of_o good_a lyve_a think_v it_o come_v of_o god_n send_n &_o nothing_o of_o thyself_o think_v also_o how_o long_o &_o how_o often_o god_n have_v suffer_v the_o in_o sin_n he_o will_v not_o take_v the_o in_o to_o dampnacyon_n when_o thou_o have_v deserve_v it_o but_z goodly_a have_v abyden_v the_o till_o thou_o will_v leave_v sin_n &_o tear_v to_o goodness_n for_o loath_a high_a be_v to_o forsake_v that_o he_o buy_v so_o dear_a with_o bitter_a pain_n also_o thou_o may_v think_v for_o he_o will_v not_o less_o the_o he_o become_v man_n &_o be_v bear_v of_o a_o maid_n in_z poverte_a &_o trybulacyon_n all_o his_o life_n he_o live_v &_o after_o for_o thy_o love_n death_n he_o will_v suffer_v to_o save_v the_o by_o his_o mercy_n ¶_o in_o such_o manner_n thou_o may_v think_v of_o his_o great_a benefyte_n and_z for_o the_o more_o grace_n to_o gete_v to_o the_o compunccyon_n behold_v with_o thy_o ghoostly_a eye_n his_o piteous_a passion_n ¶_o a_o short_a medytaconn_n of_o the_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n ihesu_n cryste_n thou_o may_v here_o ymagyne_v in_o thy_o herte_n as_o if_o thou_o see_v thy_o lord_n take_v of_o his_o enemy_n with_o many_o repreve_n &_o despyte_n bring_v before_o a_o juge_a false_o there_o accuse_v of_o many_o wicked_a man_n &_o he_o answer_v right_a nought_o but_o meke_o suffer_v their_o word_n they_o will_v needs_o have_v high_a deed_n but_o first_o to_o suffer_v pain_n behold_v than_o that_o good_a

sole_a of_o his_o foot_n hole_n skin_n they_o leave_v none_o his_o flesh_n they_o raze_v to_o the_o bone_n &_o for_o werynes_n of_o they_o self_n they_o leave_v he_o almoo_v deed_n look_v than_o aside_o up_o on_o his_o blessyd_v mother_n se_fw-es what_o sorrow_n she_o make_v for_o her_o dear_a soon_o &_o have_v compassyon_n of_o her_o pain_n that_o lie_v there_o aswowne_n tear_v again_o to_o
