a_o goodly_a and_o wise_a man_n who_o will_v instruct_v they_o herein_o the_o fifte_a chapter_n intreat_v of_o the_o two_o other_o intentes_fw-la namely_o of_o desire_n nothing_o and_o remember_v nothing_o seeinge_v i_o have_v now_o disclose_v unto_o thou_o my_o first_o intent_n wherewithal_o i_o maintain_v the_o two_o damosel_n obedience_n and_o povertie_n likewise_o i_o will_v discover_v the_o nature_n and_o property_n of_o other_o namely_o desire_v nothing_o &_o remember_v nothing_o thou_o must_v know_v that_o the_o say_v first_o intent_n to_o wish_v for_o nothing_o grow_v and_o come_v of_o nothing_o but_o from_o a_o desire_n to_o have_v or_o do_v nothing_o and_o when_o the_o cause_n which_o be_v the_o desire_n to_o wish_v for_o be_v take_v away_o and_o root_v out_o than_o his_o force_n and_o effect_n do_v cease_v quick_o which_o be_v to_o ask_v for_o and_o hereby_o be_v make_v that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o it_o namely_o to_o ask_v nothing_o which_o be_v my_o second_o intent_n wherewithal_o i_o maintain_v dame_n povertie_n but_o thou_o must_v mark_v that_o this_o desire_n be_v understand_v only_o of_o worldly_a and_o earthly_a matter_n but_o because_o this_o herb_n have_v a_o other_o root_n where_o out_o it_o grow_v which_o be_v to_o remember_v for_o nothing_o there_o can_v be_v wish_v for_o which_o be_v not_o before_o remember_v therefore_o make_v much_o of_o this_o three_o intent_n which_o be_v to_o remember_v nothing_o wherewithal_o i_o maintain_v the_o three_o damsel_n call_v chastity_n but_o thou_o must_v understande_v this_o remember_v when_o it_o be_v substantial_a steadfast_a wilful_a and_o spring_v out_o of_o a_o fleshly_a lust_n for_o it_o be_v not_o in_o man_n power_n not_o to_o remember_v nothing_o but_o well_o not_o to_o suffer_v thought_n to_o remain_v and_o cast_v foundation_n in_o he_o but_o to_o turn_v they_o quick_o of_o and_o to_o think_v of_o god_n but_o because_o that_o this_o herb_n remember_v do_v water_n itself_o with_o a_o water_n call_v to_o see_v we_o must_v cast_v upon_o it_o a_o powder_n call_v diligent_o to_o have_v care_n to_o the_o eye_n which_o be_v very_o profitable_a so_o it_o these_o three_o intent_n do_v not_o only_o cleanse_v my_o soul_n of_o all_o worldly_a thing_n as_o selfe-wil_a &_o such_o like_a spot_n but_o they_o breed_v in_o i_o a_o great_a pureness_n &_o promptitude_n to_o love_v my_o lord_n draw_v from_o i_o all_o other_o love_n and_o unite_n i_o altogether_o with_o he_o in_o these_o three_o intent_n i_o have_v comprehend_v all_o the_o other_o godly_a exercise_n serve_v the_o spirit_n as_o well_o of_o humility_n as_o of_o any_o other_o virtue_n because_o i_o know_v that_o the_o perfection_n of_o virtue_n consist_v herein_o think_v not_o therefore_o that_o in_o vame_n i_o serve_v these_o three_o lady_n for_o they_o be_v very_o gracious_a and_o get_v i_o much_o favour_n one_o of_o the_o three_o call_v poverty_n have_v give_v i_o a_o fair_a jewel_n i_o pray_v you_o quoth_v desire_n to_o let_v i_o see_v it_o i_o keep_v it_o answer_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o two_o place_n namely_o in_o my_o heart_n and_o bedchamber_n this_o jewel_n be_v so_o costly_a and_o of_o such_o price_n and_o value_n that_o i_o be_v not_o able_a to_o keep_v it_o in_o my_o hart_n before_o i_o have_v cast_v out_o of_o it_o all_o earthly_a love_n and_o in_o like_a sort_n it_o can_v have_v no_o place_n in_o my_o bedchamber_n before_o i_o have_v cast_v and_o throw_v out_o of_o it_o all_o curious_a superfluous_a and_o partial_a thing_n reserve_v only_o to_o my_o use_n but_o a_o few_o book_n now_o do_v you_o call_v this_o jewel_n quoth_v desire_n it_o be_v call_v answer_v the_o love_n of_o god_n nothing_o at_o all_o for_o this_o be_v the_o great_a treasure_n that_o poverty_n can_v possess_v who_o be_v the_o rich_a lady_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n because_o she_o have_v as_o much_o treasure_n hereof_o as_o she_o will_v herself_o the_o sixth_o chapter_n do_v prosecute_v the_o office_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o beside_o intreat_v of_o prayer_n in_o this_o degree_n of_o charity_n whereof_o i_o have_v speak_v which_o be_v for_o to_o obey_v his_o commandment_n as_o my_o duty_n do_v require_v there_o be_v yet_o another_o circumstance_n to_o be_v consider_v for_o the_o office_n sake_n wherein_o he_o have_v place_v i_o namely_o to_o be_v his_o chamberlain_n which_o be_v whensoever_o i_o come_v to_o serve_v he_o or_o come_v to_o crave_v something_o at_o his_o hand_n or_o but_o only_o to_o speak_v with_o he_o i_o have_v then_o a_o special_a care_n to_o come_v before_o he_o with_o such_o great_a humility_n lowliness_n &_o pureness_n of_o mind_n as_o i_o be_o able_a and_o the_o pure_a and_o clean_a that_o my_o heart_n be_v the_o more_o casie_a i_o see_v behold_v and_o know_v he_o and_o pray_v my_o love_a brother_n the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o my_o aunt_n reverence_n to_o keep_v i_o company_n what_o do_v you_o when_o lady_n reverence_n go_v with_o you_o say_v desire_v then_o i_o remember_v and_o think_v what_o i_o be_o answer_v the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o set_v before_o my_o eye_n the_o majesty_n and_o greatness_n of_o my_o lord_n who_o be_v to_o be_v serve_v with_o fear_n and_o reverence_n as_o one_o only_a worthy_a of_o it_o beside_o i_o remember_v that_o all_o angel_n and_o heavenly_a principality_n do_v fall_v down_o before_o he_o worship_n and_o adore_v he_o be_v astonish_v at_o such_o great_a excellent_a and_o incomprehensible_a a_o majesty_n moreover_o i_o conclude_v that_o he_o know_v the_o secret_n of_o my_o bart_n and_o see_v my_o inward_a thought_n better_a than_o i_o myself_o likewise_o that_o he_o can_v according_a unto_o his_o godly_a will_n and_o pleasure_n do_v and_o undoo_v all_o thing_n and_o that_o life_n and_o death_n be_v and_o not_o be_v and_o the_o salvation_n and_o condemnation_n of_o all_o the_o world_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n and_o power_n furthermore_o i_o remember_v that_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n and_o wellspring_n of_o all_o goodness_n the_o only_a and_o sovereign_n good_a in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o when_o diligent_o i_o put_v in_o mind_n those_o thing_n than_o i_o begin_v to_o shake_v and_o tremble_v than_o my_o heart_n and_o mind_n begin_v to_o alter_v so_o that_o oftentimes_o i_o fall_v in_o a_o sound_n chief_o when_o i_o consider_v that_o i_o be_v so_o wicked_a vile_a unclean_a &_o worse_a than_o any_o dog_n presume_v to_o undertake_v such_o a_o high_a office_n &_o to_o be_v so_o familiar_a with_o such_o a_o mighty_a lord_n &_o that_o such_o a_o renown_a majesty_n will_v vouchsafe_v to_o delight_v in_o my_o vile_a company_n &_o suffer_v i_o to_o speak_v &_o eat_v with_o he_o as_o his_o familiar_a and_o only_a friend_n and_o oftentimes_o myself_o do_v tell_v he_o of_o it_o say_v wherefore_o do_v thou_o suffer_v o_o my_o god_n these_o vile_a &_o unclean_a sinner_n to_o stand_v before_o thou_o how_o my_o lord_n be_v it_o decent_a that_o thou_o shall_v be_v serve_v of_o such_o wretch_n &_o wicked_a offender_n as_o we_o be_v where_o be_v the_o honour_n and_o reverence_v due_a to_o thy_o princely_a majesty_n but_o what_o answer_n do_v he_o give_v you_o quoth_v desire_n i_o can_v tell_v answer_v the_o love_n of_o god_n but_o only_o that_o for_o very_a joy_n he_o make_v i_o to_o weep_v and_o say_v do_v not_o trouble_v thyself_o herewithal_o for_o thou_o have_v not_o procure_v thou_o the_o office_n &_o have_v not_o place_v thyself_o in_o it_o but_o i_o have_v call_v thou_o unto_o it_o and_o i_o know_v wherefore_o i_o have_v do_v it_o but_o be_v thou_o careful_a to_o look_v to_o thy_o call_n and_o that_o which_o thy_o office_n do_v require_v &_o demand_v endeavour_n thyself_o diligent_o to_o further_a and_o perform_v it_o what_o do_v you_o say_v unto_o he_o quoth_v desire_n when_o you_o come_v before_o he_o accompanied_z with_o humility_n charity_n fear_v and_o reverence_n first_o of_o all_o quoth_v the_o love_n of_o god_n when_o i_o crave_v something_o at_o his_o hand_n and_o will_v move_v he_o to_o grant_v i_o my_o request_n than_o i_o endeavour_n with_o all_o my_o force_n and_o power_n to_o exalte_n and_o
