noster_fw-la because_o it_o be_v teach_v he_o by_o our_o saviour_n and_o he_o reap_v much_o profit_n by_o it_o in_o most_o of_o the_o petition_n he_o put_v in_o those_o word_n as_o in_o heaven_n so_o upon_o earth_n as_o when_o he_o say_v hallow_a be_v thy_o name_n he_o add_v as_o in_o heaven_n so_o on_o earth_n for_o hereby_o he_o show_v the_o desire_n that_o he_o have_v of_o god_n glory_n and_o all_o though_o many_o servant_n of_o god_n to_o induce_v man_n to_o good_a and_o draw_v they_o to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n do_v write_v letter_n and_o take_v in_o hand_n great_a journey_n and_o do_v other_o thing_n yet_o gregory_n instead_o of_o these_o when_o he_o desire_v to_o help_v his_o neighbour_n and_o relieve_v their_o necessity_n have_v present_o recourse_n unto_o god_n by_o his_o prayer_n know_v that_o all_o good_a be_v to_o proceed_v from_o he_o and_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o wrought_v admirable_a effect_n and_o upon_o this_o occasion_n he_o will_v sometime_o tell_v merit_n be_v far_o better_a negotiate_v with_o god_n then_o with_o men._n but_o to_o those_o that_o ask_v he_o counsel_n by_o word_n or_o writing_n he_o give_v answer_v according_a as_o he_o think_v be_v necessary_a for_o their_o good_a and_o god_n his_o honour_n to_o who_o he_o give_v thanks_n because_o he_o have_v personage_n in_o his_o church_n that_o do_v also_o assist_v their_o neighbour_n by_o such_o outward_a mean_n the_o xviii_o chapter_n of_o his_o habitation_n or_o mansion_n in_o god_n i_o have_v differ_v as_o much_o as_o i_o can_v possible_a to_o write_v the_o manner_n how_o gregory_n do_v live_v in_o god_n because_o i_o be_v always_o in_o hope_n of_o a_o great_a light_n from_o his_o divine_a spirit_n that_o i_o may_v be_v better_a able_a to_o declare_v a_o thing_n of_o such_o importance_n this_o manner_n be_v not_o by_o ecstasy_n or_o rapt_n because_o his_o union_n seem_v always_o unto_o i_o immediate_a since_o that_o his_o will_n free_a form_v all_o other_o affection_n tend_v very_o strong_o only_a unto_o god_n and_o this_o manner_n of_o union_n may_v be_v see_v by_o its_o great_a fruit_n that_o always_o remain_v in_o he_o this_o mansion_n i_o think_v can_v be_v otherwise_o term_v better_a than_o a_o transformation_n into_o god_n because_o the_o soul_n in_o this_o estate_n be_v whole_o beside_o herself_o and_o whole_o in_o god_n according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n i_o live_v but_o now_o not_o i_o because_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o and_o thus_o the_o matter_n be_v for_o unto_o we_o that_o have_v look_v into_o his_o life_n and_o conversation_n he_o always_o seem_v a_o portrait_a of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o we_o call_v he_o a_o man_n true_o crucify_v into_o the_o world_n for_o he_o only_o regard_v the_o spiritual_a life_n of_o which_o when_o spiritual_a person_n do_v talk_v with_o he_o he_o invite_v they_o to_o this_o transformation_n say_v unto_o they_o those_o word_n of_o s._n john_n god_n give_v they_o power_n to_o be_v make_v son_n of_o god_n to_o those_o that_o believe_v in_o his_o name_n who_o now_o be_v not_o bear_v of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n nor_o of_o the_o will_n of_o man_n but_o god_n himself_o and_o i_o be_o certain_a that_o this_o transformation_n of_o gregory_n into_o god_n be_v well_o like_v of_o by_o all_o the_o spiritual_a man_n that_o converse_v with_o he_o in_o this_o transformation_n which_o i_o call_v immediate_a union_n there_o use_v to_o be_v a_o great_a spiritual_a joy_n which_o be_v call_v fruition_n because_o those_o that_o be_v so_o transform_v for_o a_o long_a time_n be_v rather_o in_o joy_n then_o pain_n because_o they_o be_v carry_v by_o god_n without_o any_o labour_n of_o they_o to_o that_o most_o happy_a state_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o be_v call_v the_o spiritual_a oil_n there_o they_o be_v with_o god_n as_o it_o be_v only_o passive_o and_o i_o call_v it_o so_o because_o although_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o soul_n in_o that_o union_n be_v always_o in_o action_n yet_o not_o so_o much_o inseeking_a after_o as_o in_o possess_v for_o she_o rather_o exercise_v the_o act_n of_o possess_v and_o enjoy_v than_o the_o act_n of_o desire_v i_o do_v not_o know_v whether_o gregory_n have_v this_o as_o it_o be_v passive_a union_n from_o the_o time_n that_o he_o go_v into_o the_o desert_n for_o god_n do_v in_o such_o manner_n communicate_v himself_o unto_o he_o as_o that_o he_o every_o day_n desire_v more_o and_o therefore_o do_v not_o so_o much_o entertain_v himself_o in_o enjoy_v that_o which_o be_v give_v he_o as_o with_o new_a desire_n to_o see_v himself_o every_o day_n approach_v near_o unto_o god_n s._n denys_n the_o areopagite_n say_v that_o hierotheus_n his_o master_n have_v the_o state_n of_o spiritual_a rest_n and_o fruition_n which_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o and_o he_o put_v it_o down_o for_o the_o high_a perfection_n that_o be_v in_o this_o life_n and_o all_o the_o contemplative_n be_v of_o the_o same_o opinion_n and_o this_o be_v the_o only_a reason_n why_o the_o surname_n of_o divine_a be_v give_v to_o hierotheus_n for_o this_o union_n make_v the_o soul_n to_o be_v the_o same_o with_o god_n and_o very_a like_o the_o divine_a nature_n the_o which_o do_v not_o exercise_v its_o operation_n with_o pain_n and_o toil_n but_o joy_n i_o have_v tell_v upon_o diverse_a occasion_n this_o so_o common_a opinion_n unto_o gregory_n fifteen_o year_n before_o his_o death_n and_o though_o he_o yield_v also_o to_o it_o for_o he_o know_v it_o very_o well_o yet_o he_o esteem_v it_o be_v better_a for_o himself_o to_o be_v in_o action_n and_o always_o love_a god_n and_o his_o neighbour_n labour_v therein_o both_o day_n and_o night_n and_o therefore_o he_o embrace_v this_o estate_n the_o more_o willing_o for_o he_o say_v that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o that_o exercise_n as_o be_v the_o best_a and_o that_o he_o be_v to_o endeavour_v with_o all_o his_o strength_n not_o to_o leave_v it_o off_o for_o any_o joy_n or_o fruition_n whatsoever_o for_o he_o can_v not_o conceive_v how_o in_o this_o life_n that_o shall_v be_v most_o perfect_a which_o have_v least_o merit●and_v that_o enjoy_n be_v not_o of_o so_o much_o merit_n as_o take_v of_o pain_n be_v but_o i_o will_v leave_v this_o doctrine_n for_o wise_a man_n to_o determine_v and_o will_v prosecute_v my_o intent_n gregory_n his_o transformation_n into_o christ_n which_o i_o perceive_v in_o he_o be_v a_o ardent_a love_n and_o desire_v to_o ●ollow_v he_o in_o his_o life_n and_o imitate_v his_o labour_n and_o cross_n for_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o most_o holy_a life_n of_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o lively_a pattern_n for_o we_o all_o to_o imitate_v in_o fulfil_n the_o will_n of_o his_o eternal_a father_n and_o so_o he_o say_v i_o come_v not_o to_o do_v my_o will_n but_o my_o father_n and_o in_o another_o place_n it_o be_v hoove_v i_o to_o do_v the_o work_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o while_o it_o be_v day_n it_o be_v also_o well_o know_v that_o the_o life_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n from_o his_o birth_n till_o his_o death_n be_v a_o continual_a bear_n of_o the_o cross_n of_o our_o sin_n work_v thereby_o our_o redemption_n so_o as_o all_o his_o life_n be_v a_o suffering_n of_o trouble_n in_o these_o therefore_o gregory_n desire_v and_o also_o do_v imitate_v christ_n wherefore_o in_o his_o life_n there_o be_v but_o little_a fruition_n and_o joy_n and_o much_o care_n and_o trouble_v so_o as_o it_o seem_v that_o this_o want_n of_o sensible_a joy_n may_v be_v esteem_v a_o privilege_n and_o particular_a gift_n of_o god_n since_o that_o without_o these_o favour_n his_o divine_a majesty_n bestow_v upon_o he_o that_o which_o he_o be_v wont_a to_o give_v to_o other_o that_o have_v they_o as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o the_o knowledge_n wisdom_n fortitude_n perseveance_n and_o all_o the_o other_o divine_a gift_n where_o with_o he_o be_v endue_v hereby_o also_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o god_n direct_v he_o in_o way_n proper_a to_o man_n for_o his_o divine_a majesty_n do_v for_o the_o most_o part_n give_v those_o joy_n to_o his_o friend_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o their_o conversion_n when_o they_o begin_v to_o die_v to_o the_o world_n and_o live_v in_o god_n than_o he_o bring_v they_o into_o his_o cellar_n to_o give_v they_o a_o taste_n then_o he_o give_v they_o some_o light_n and_o joy_n as_o a_o pledge_n or_o earnest_n of_o that_o which_o be_v in_o heaven_n to_o make_v they_o walk_v on_o with_o strength_n and_o perseverance_n but_o after_o they_o have_v profit_v and_o be_v grow_v strong_a he_o invit_v they_o to_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o charity_n which_o be_v to_o suffer_v and_o die_v for_o their_o belove_a we_o have_v example_n of_o both_o in_o the_o
