FOr the love of Jesus Christ who suffered very sharp things for thy sake renounce the pleasures of thy senses When thou hast a mind and desires to see hear smell taste touch or speak any thing remember that thou must not obey thy sensuality inciting of thee but Reason and God speaking in thee Yea even be ready to want spiritual delights according to Gods good pleasure and ordination And when thou art recreated with inward comfort and sweetness have a care thou do not rest in it nor abuse it to thy own proper pleasure Precept II. KEep very diligently thy sight hearing and tongue that they do not decline to unlawful vain and unprofitable things It behoves thee to be vigilant and very wary in thy speech that thou speak not more words nor otherwise than is convenient Let thy speech be succinct plain and quiet Carefully rule and contain in good order all the Parts of thy Body Avoid immoderate Laughter and all lightness of behaviour Precept III. DO not adhere to any Creature by inordinate affection but dye to all perishable things and keep thy heart free from them for in such a death and in such a liberty does lye hid the most true and most pleasant life Precept IV. BY an entire abnegation of thy self and resignation diligently destroy in thee vitious passions and affections and thy own will and self-seeking But love dearly and only the Divine will and ever wish it and submit thy self wholly unto it so that whatsoever God wills do thou also will Every where seek rather the praise and honour of God than thy own profit Precept V. IN all things which happen wisely regard the providence of God and securely commit thy self and all thy concerns
