that_o one_o be_v true_o devout_a neither_o be_v tear_n themselves_o always_o a_o true_a sign_n of_o devotion_n because_o ill_a woman_n easy_o weep_v yet_o be_v no_o saint_n for_o it_o 17._o if_o

the_o obedience_n be_v good_a when_o one_o obey_v without_o argue_v and_o hold_v it_o for_o a_o rule_n that_o what_o be_v command_v be_v fit_a to_o be_v do_v and_o whoso_o enter_v into_o a_o society_n

also_o to_o honour_v our_o equal_n and_o our_o inferior_n and_o to_o strive_v to_o be_v the_o first_o in_o give_v honour_n 22._o it_o be_v a_o thing_n appertain_v to_o virtue_n to_o fly_v all_o

of_o people_n be_v suspicious_a because_o grace_n love_v the_o recess_n and_o privacy_n of_o the_o heart_n except_o so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o manifest_v it_o for_o the_o good_a of_o

it_o be_v a_o good_a motive_n to_o consider_v that_o in_o this_o world_n there_o be_v no_o purgatory_n for_o we_o but_o either_o paradise_n or_o ●ell_o because_o he_o who_o serve_v god_n as_o he_o ought_v all_o labour_n and_o infirmity_n turn_v to_o his_o consolation_n and_o he_o have_v within_o himself_o a_o paradise_n but_o he_o who_o do_v the_o contrary_a and_o give_v himself_o to_o sensuality_n have_v hell_n in_o this_o world_n and_o in_o the_o next_o 27._o the_o frequent_a confession_n of_o sin_n bring_v great_a good_a to_o our_o soul_n for_o it_o purify_v and_o heal_v and_o

to_o yield_v it_o in_o great_a 523._o the_o mortification_n of_o the_o will_n and_o understanding_n in_o matter_n of_o obedience_n to_o superior_n be_v much_o more_o beneficial_a and_o attain_v soon_o to_o perfection_n than_o great_a corporal_a penance_n 524._o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o consider_v if_o god_n will_v have_v such_o good_a do_v as_o be_v attempt_v but_o if_o he_o will_v have_v it_o do_v by_o our_o mean_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n at_o such_o a_o time_n which_o appear_v not_o to_o be_v god_n will_n we_o ought_v content_o to_o desist_v from_o any_o such_o enterprise_n 53._o there_o be_v nothing_o better_a for_o man_n than_o prayer_n and_o without_o it_o he_o can_v endure_v long_o in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o every_o moment_n must_v he_o have_v

in_o mind_n of_o their_o virtue_n that_o he_o may_v imitate_v they_o and_o pray_v they_o to_o intercede_v to_o god_n for_o he_o 56._o to_o know_v how_o to_o pray_v well_o it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a help_n to_o read_v the_o live_v of_o saint_n and_o when_o the_o spirit_n incline_v he_o then_o to_o meditate_v on_o they_o and_o so_o when_o it_o incline_v to_o think_v on_o the_o passion_n of_o
