and_o according_a to_o the_o desire_v you_o shall_v find_v in_o yourself_o to_o advance_v in_o virtue_n and_o in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n a_o desire_n which_o however_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v always_o very_o vehement_a and_o strong_a yet_o shall_v it_o daily_o increase_v in_o you_o more_o and_o more_o a_o advice_n of_o great_a consequence_n but_o i_o advise_v you_o at_o all_o time_n and_o especial_o in_o this_o wherein_o actual_o you_o now_o be_v careful_o to_o avoid_v three_o fault_n which_o be_v incident_a easy_o to_o they_o who_o communicate_v upon_o set_a day_n the_o one_a be_v that_o they_o communicate_v by_o custom_n and_o by_o course_n without_o propose_v to_o themselves_o a_o end_n or_o design_n in_o their_o communion_n the_o second_o be_v that_o they_o communicate_v with_o little_a or_o no_o preparation_n and_o without_o devotion_n the_o 3d_o be_v that_o they_o reap_v no_o fruit_n or_o very_o little_a persist_v still_o in_o the_o same_o vicious_a habit_n of_o innumerable_a venial_a and_o many_o time_n mortal_a sin_n these_o be_v three_o fault_n which_o prejudice_n frequent_a communion_n in_o a_o high_a degree_n and_o which_o make_v one_o lose_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o and_o render_v it_o oftentimes_o rather_o worse_o then_o better_a for_o we_o let_v it_o be_v your_o chief_a care_n to_o avoid_v they_o and_o to_o this_o end_n remember_v every_o time_n you_o come_v to_o communicate_v to_o comply_v with_o these_o three_o duty_n direct_o opposite_a to_o the_o former_a fault_n first_o to_o propose_v to_o yourself_o always_o a_o good_a end_n which_o you_o hope_v to_o compass_v by_o mean_n of_o your_o communion_n such_o as_o be_v abovementioned_a viz._n to_o please_v god_n to_o advance_v in_o his_o grace_n and_o to_o strengthen_v or_o to_o ground_n yourself_o better_a in_o virtue_n 2_o prepare_v yourself_o always_o the_o best_a you_o can_v and_o endeavour_v to_o stir_v yourself_o up_o to_o some_o act_n of_o great_a devotion_n and_o to_o this_o effect_n take_v care_n that_o you_o put_v in_o practice_v the_o direction_n we_o have_v former_o give_v upon_o this_o subject_a 3_o endeavour_v to_o amend_v your_o evil_a habit_n and_o to_o make_v good_a use_n of_o all_o the_o grace_n which_o you_o have_v receive_v by_o mean_n of_o this_o bless_a sacrament_n it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o high_a concern_v and_o of_o which_o you_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o special_a care_n remember_v that_o there_o be_v two_o fault_n which_o you_o ought_v equal_o to_o eschew_v in_o the_o holy_a communion_n the_o one_o be_v to_o communicate_v too_o seldom_o the_o other_o be_v to_o communicate_v often_o but_o to_o no_o effect_n by_o the_o first_o one_o neglect_v and_o lose_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n by_o the_o second_o one_o abuse_n those_o which_o one_o have_v receive_v both_o which_o lead_v direct_o to_o damnation_n fly_v these_o two_o rock_n upon_o either_o of_o which_o your_o salvation_n may_v easy_o suffer_v shipwreck_n communicate_v often_o with_o the_o disposition_n abovementioned_a and_o advantage_n yourself_o of_o the_o holy_a communion_n in_o order_n to_o the_o amendment_n of_o your_o life_n your_o advancement_n in_o virtue_n and_o the_o love_n of_o god._n if_o you_o do_v thus_o theotime_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n will_v fall_v upon_o your_o devotion_n and_o he_o will_v daily_o shower_v new_a grace_n upon_o your_o soul_n that_o you_o may_v better_o serve_v he_o all_o the_o remainder_n of_o your_o day_n in_o this_o and_o enjoy_v he_o perfect_o in_o the_o next_o life_n for_o evermore_o

to_o what_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v this_o abuse_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o many_o evil_n and_o particular_o above_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o small_a progress_n one_o make_v in_o virtue_n of_o loose_a

of_o trent_n cite_v above_o in_o the_o 5_o chapter_n to_o which_o i_o refer_v myself_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o same_o council_n have_v say_v sesse_n 6._o c._n 13._o that_o the_o life_n of_o a_o christian_a ought_v to_o be_v a_o perpetual_a penance_n and_o that_o the_o just_a aught_o to_o work_v their_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a by_o labour_n by_o watch_n almsdeed_n

necessary_a for_o you_o to_o do_v penance_n in_o whatsoever_o state_n you_o be_v if_o you_o intend_v to_o live_v like_o a_o christian_n it_o be_v a_o great_a error_n to_o believe_v that_o penance_n belong_v only_o to_o religious_a it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o christian_n and_o of_o all_o those_o that_o hope_v to_o save_v their_o soul_n but_o you_o will_v ask_v i_o how_o it_o be_v to_o be_v do_v behold_v the_o most_o easy_a mean_n can_v be_v imagine_v penance_n consist_v in_o two_o thing_n in_o a_o detestation_n of_o sin_n and_o in_o suffer_v in_o order_n to_o satisfy_v for_o the_o injury_n it_o have_v do_v to_o god._n one_o of_o these_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n the_o other_o in_o action_n comply_v with_o they_o both_o and_o you_o will_v perform_v a_o very_a profitable_a

to_o renew_v it_o &_o elicit_v act_n of_o sorrow_n in_o your_o prayer_n as_o at_o morning_n and_o night_n demand_v of_o he_o pardon_n for_o your_o sin_n and_o detest_a they_o from_o the_o bottom_n of_o your_o heart_n second_o suffer_v for_o your_o sin_n and_o that_o two_o way_n first_o by_o impose_v upon_o yourself_o some_o action_n of_o penance_n to_o perform_v every_o day_n one_o while_o a_o

the_o like_a but_o all_o this_o must_v be_v do_v upon_o the_o motive_n of_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o injury_n do_v to_o god_n which_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o penance_n 2_o accept_v willing_o and_o
