so_o due_a unto_o he_o and_o that_o he_o have_v so_o much_o descrue_v it_o to_o show_v thyself_o grateful_a 6._o beside_o these_o three_o point_n remember_v to_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n the_o father_n and_o all_o the_o bless_a trinity_n for_o all_o the_o benefit_n bestow_v upon_o the_o humanity_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v reason_n that_o the_o child_n be_v grateful_a for_o the_o

the_o benefit_n and_o grace_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n do_v turn_v to_o our_o profit_n for_o he_o make_v we_o participate_v of_o they_o all_o §._o four_o of_o the_o affect_n of_o admiration_n admiration_n be_v cause_v at_o the_o sight_n of_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v rare_a extraordinary_a and_o marvellous_a for_o see_v it_o and_o not_o know_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o a_o man_n remain_v

very_o marvellous_a therefore_o the_o prophet_n esay_n say_v that_o christ_n shall_v be_v call_v admirable_a because_o all_o thing_n in_o he_o be_v so_o very_o great_a and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o cause_v admiration_n in_o we_o it_o be_v because_o though_o we_o belecue_v they_o by_o faith_n yet_o we_o do_v not_o consider_v they_o with_o attention_n and_o hereof_o it_o proceed_v that_o when_o with_o most_o attention_n we_o consider_v they_o they_o seem_v new_a unto_o we_o as_o if_o we_o have_v not_o know_v they_o before_o and_o then_o they_o cause_v admiration_n in_o we_o &_o so_o much_o the_o more_o by_o how_o much_o we_o do_v consider_v they_o with_o attention_n 2._o and_o here_o upon_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v also_o that_o they_o who_o be_v very_o contemplative_a and_o who_o our_o

time_n they_o remain_v without_o their_o sense_n &_o so_o this_o affect_n be_v proper_a to_o prayer_n for_o every_o thing_n consider_v in_o it_o be_v worthy_a to_o cause_v admiration_n as_o to_o consider_v the_o greatness_n of_o god_n his_o majesty_n his_o power_n his_o wisdom_n his_o justice_n his_o mercy_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o attribute_n and_o perfection_n 3._o but_o particular_o in_o the_o holy_a mystery_n of_o christ_n our_o saviour_n that_o which_o must_v cause_v admiration_n be_v to_o consider_v those_o inestimable_a riches_n of_o charity_n with_o which_o god_n love_v man_n who_o have_v one_o only_o son_n which_o be_v all_o his_o delight_n and_o not_o have_v nor_o be_v possible_a that_o he_o shall_v have_v any_o other_o give_v he_o for_o our_o remedy_n &_o consent_v that_o he_o shall_v suffer_v so_o many_o labour_n and_o torment_n and_o give_v his_o life_n for_o they_o and_o that_o the_o son_n himself_o love_v they_o so_o much_o that_o he_o will_v have_v offer_v himself_o with_o a_o very_a good_a will_n to_o have_v suffer_v all_o that_o he_o suffer_v for_o he_o esteem_v man_n so_o much_o that_o the_o whole_a b._n trinity_n employ_v themselves_o for_o their_o remedy_n god_n the_o father_n send_v his_o son_n the_o son_n make_v himself_o man_n &_o suffer_v &_o die_v for_o they_o the_o holy_a ghost_n work_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o incarnation_n 4._o admire_v also_o much_o to_o see_v
sometime_o though_o they_o be_v fabulous_a and_o void_a of_o truth_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v much_o ashamed_a and_o acknowledge_v our_o hardenes_n of_o hart_n that_o this_o be_v so_o natural_a unto_o man_n we_o have_v not_o more_o feel_n and_o compassion_n of_o thing_n so_o worthy_a of_o it_o as_o those_o which_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v and_o in_o a_o person_n who_o so_o much_o belong_v unto_o us._n 2._o the_o motive_n unto_o this_o affect_n be_v almost_o the_o same_o circumstance_n which_o we_o touch_v above_o but_o especial_o the_o two_o first_o for_o that_o which_o be_v wont_a to_o move_v we_o much_o to_o compassion_n be_v to_o see_v that_o he_o who_o suffer_v or_o be_v put_v to_o any_o great_a plunge_n be_v a_o person_n of_o nobility_n some_o principal_a man_n delicate_a and_o innocent_a and_o suffer_v without_o any_o fault_n and_o that_o the_o pain_n be_v great_a and_o that_o he_o suffer_v they_o for_o out_o sake_n and_o all_o these_o consideration_n have_v great_a place_n in_o the_o mysterye_n of_o christ_n our_o saviour_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o circumstance_n speak_v of_o before_o and_o so_o that_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v compassion_n of_o be_v to_o see_v so_o noble_a a_o person_n so_o venerable_a so_o delicate_a so_o worthy_a to_o be_v serve_v and_o reverence_v of_o all_o creature_n to_o pass_v through_o so_o many_o trouble_v all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n in_o so_o great_a poverty_n and_o discomodity_n of_o all_o temporal_a thing_n the_o heat_n the_o cold_a the_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n the_o weariness_n the_o way_n and_o many_o other_o thing_n of_o which_o his_o life_n be_v full_a and_o principal_o the_o great_a and_o grievous_a torment_n of_o his_o passion_n not_o only_o the_o exterior_a but_o much_o more_o the_o interior_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o second_o circumstance_n 3._o for_o if_o it_o be_v of_o great_a merit_n for_o we_o to_o take_v compassion_n upon_o any_o of_o our_o neighbour_n which_o we_o see_v cast_v into_o misery_n how_o much_o more_o will_v it_o be_v to_o take_v compassion_n of_o all_o the_o labour_n and_o pain_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o therefore_o it_o help_v much_o for_o this_o affect_v to_o consider_v that_o we_o see_v our_o father_n or_o brother_n to_o suffer_v those_o misery_n and_o labour_n or_o else_o some_o other_o person_n who_o we_o love_v much_o for_o very_o christ_n be_v more_o than_o father_n and_o brother_n for_o our_o father_n brother_n &_o friend_n do_v not_o love_v in_o so_o much_o as_o he_o do_v nor_o have_v do_v so_o much_o for_o we_o as_o he_o have_v do_v neither_o owe_v we_o so_o much_o unto_o they_o as_o we_o do_v to_o he_o 4._o final_o this_o affect_v of_o compassion_n depend_v and_o follow_v natural_o the_o

compassion_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v of_o christ_n our_o saviour_n must_v not_o be_v as_o a_o natural_a affect_v as_o we_o shall_v take_v compassion_n of_o a_o person_n which_o we_o shall_v see_v drive_v to_o some_o great_a extremity_n or_o calamity_n against_o his_o will_n for_o in_o this_o sort_n he_o command_v the_o daughter_n of_o hierusulem_fw-la that_o they_o shall_v not_o weep_v for_o he_o when_o he_o carry_v his_o cross_n upon_o his_o back_n but_o it_o must_v be_v as_o a_o affect_v of_o faith_n consider_v that_o a_o person_n who_o deserve_v to_o be_v reverence_v and_o

suffer_v to_o destroy_v the_o say_a sin_n for_o by_o the_o pain_n we_o discover_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o fault_n 2._o if_o we_o shall_v see_v some_o principal_a noble_a man_n &_o much_o esteem_v of_o the_o king_n to_o be_v draw_v by_o sentence_n of_o justice_n to_o be_v public_o whip_v and_o last_o to_o be_v put_v upon_o the_o gallow_n like_o a_o base_a slave_n or_o thief_n certain_o we_o shall_v understand_v that_o the_o fault_n he_o have_v commit_v be_v very_o great_a and_o if_o this_o who_o be_v so_o put_v to_o death_n shall_v be_v the_o prince_n himself_o heir_n to_o the_o

that_o manner_n we_o shall_v be_v certain_o persuade_v that_o the_o sin_n he_o have_v commit_v be_v very_o grievous_a and_o much_o more_o if_o we_o know_v the_o prince_n himself_o have_v not_o

more_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o fault_n in_o the_o world_n that_o deserve_v such_o chastisement_n 3._o therefore_o in_o this_o manner_n we_o must_v excercise_n this_o affect_v when_o we_o
