a_o great_a and_o carne_a dislike_n of_o his_o sin_n past_a and_o of_o himself_o for_o they_o a_o serious_a intention_n never_o to_o return_v to_o they_o again_o a_o firm_a purpose_n to_o live_v

work_n a_o contempt_n of_o the_o world_n and_o of_o all_o worldly_a thing_n last_o a_o long_a desire_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v with_o a_o weariness_n of_o this_o present_a he_o that_o by_o such_o sign_n as_o these_o shall_v perceive_v that_o by_o god_n grace_n he_o be_v become_v a_o christian_n must_v also_o know_v that_o in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n not_o to_o go_v forward_o be_v to_o go_v backward_o and_o that_o he_o only_o go_v forward_o who_o find_v himself_o to_o grow_v daily_o strong_a and_o more_o fervent_a in_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o in_o all_o virtue_n now_o this_o

or_o purity_n of_o heart_n integrity_n of_o conversation_n together_o with_o neglect_n or_o renounce_v of_o whatsoever_o be_v supersluous_a he_o therefore_o that_o desire_n to_o live_v christianly_o according_a to_o the_o duty_n of_o that_o state_n wherein_o he_o intend_v to_o fix_v and_o settle_v himself_o must_v be_v careful_a as_o we_o say_v to_o live_v simple_o that_o be_v innocent_o pure_o and_o undissemble_o and_o in_o a_o word_n answerable_o in_o all_o thing_n to_o what_o his_o profession_n require_v so_o as_o he_o may_v be_v always_o as_o much_o as_o possible_a intent_n upon_o

by_o reason_n of_o the_o different_a estate_n and_o condition_n of_o man_n i_o shall_v advise_v every_o one_o who_o have_v desire_n to_o live_v indeed_o this_o life_n of_o a_o christian_a to_o address_v himself_o to_o some_o good_a ghostly-father_n who_o by_o his_o learning_n and_o experience_n may_v be_v able_a to_o direct_v he_o and_o according_a to_o his_o counsel_n to_o govern_v himself_o in_o his_o spiritual_a affair_n but_o let_v he_o take_v heed_n that_o he_o fall_v not_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o these_o lukewarm_a and_o indifferent_a confessor_n who_o have_v indeed_o some_o form_n or_o show_v of_o piety_n but_o renounce_v the_o power_n thereof_o it_o may_v be_v think_v perhaps_o very_o hard_o to_o escape_v such_o person_n who_o have_v outward_o pretence_n of_o sanctity_n and_o god_n only_o be_v the_o discerner_n of_o heart_n nay_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v by_o their_o fruit_n you_o shall_v know_v they_o though_o they_o be_v indeed_o but_o a_o kind_n of_o hypocrite_n and_o dissembler_n yet_o have_v they_o some_o appearance_n of_o good_a work_n how_o then_o shall_v we_o know_v they_o i_o say_v still_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v difficult_a to_o know_v they_o for_o any_o man_n that_o desire_v to_o walk_v upright_o see_v it_o be_v write_v light_n be_v spring_v up_o even_o in_o darkness_n to_o the_o upright_a in_o heart_n and_o in_o another_o place_n your_o anoint_v shall_v teach_v you_o all_o thing_n and_o even_o in_o natural_a thing_n we_o see_v those_o which_o have_v different_a form_n can_v never_o absolute_o agree_v especial_o if_o those_o form_n be_v contrary_a now_o the_o form_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o spirit_n and_o disposition_n of_o a_o true_a christian_a and_o of_o a_o formalist_n be_v as_o contrary_a as_o can_v be_v the_o one_o that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o true_a christian_a look_v only_o at_o the_o service_n of_o god_n the_o other_o ever_o to_o his_o own_o interest_n therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v resemble_v in_o all_o thing_n and_o consequent_o impossible_a that_o the_o true_a christian_a who_o be_v himself_o zealous_a for_o god_n and_o of_o a_o right_a intention_n shall_v not_o disoern_v he_o who_o be_v but_o lukewarm_a and_o a_o hypocrite_n especial_o after_o some_o conversation_n and_o that_o the_o anoint_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o be_v say_v illuminate_v he_o as_o soon_o therefore_o as_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o father_n who_o he_o have_v choose_v be_v one_o of_o those_o who_o be_v not_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v let_v he_o fly_v from_o he_o as_o he_o will_v fly_v from_o a_o serpent_n for_o as_o solomon_n say_v he_o that_o walk_v with_o the_o wise_n shall_v be_v wise_a but_o the_o friend_n of_o fool_n shall_v become_v like_a unto_o they_o but_o have_v find_v a_o good_a man_n indeed_o let_v he_o open_v the_o very_a secret_n of_o his_o heart_n to_o he_o let_v he_o often_o and_o plain_o confess_v his_o sin_n and_o according_a to_o his_o advice_n let_v he_o frequent_v the_o holy_a communion_n for_o as_o we_o have_v show_v elsewhere_o among_o all_o the_o ceremony_n of_o religion_n the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n &_o of_o the_o eucharist_n be_v most_o efficacious_a both_o to_o cause_v to_o augment_v and_o to_o preserve_v grace_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o every_o good_a christian_a to_o keep_v himself_o diligent_o in_o estate_n to_o frequent_v those_o sacrament_n with_o devotion_n after_o that_o a_o man_n be_v thus_o become_v a_o christian_n and_o labour_n to_o live_v christianly_o the_o three_o precept_n i_o be_o to_o give_v he_o be_v this_o that_o he_o consider_v well_o that_o by_o many_o tribulation_n we_o must_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n for_o we_o say_v in_o christian_a religion_n that_o to_o live_v well_o we_o must_v do_v good_a and_o suffer_v evil_a and_o so_o persevere_v unto_o death_n he_o therefore_o that_o desire_n to_o live_v like_o a_o christian_a must_v prepare_v and_o fit_v himself_o for_o tribulation_n according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o wise_a man_n my_o son_n when_o thou_o come_v to_o serve_v god_n say_v he_o stand_v in_o fear_n and_o prepare_v thy_o heart_n for_o temptation_n because_o adversity_n foresee_v do_v less_o trouble_v we_o and_o that_o he_o may_v more_o easy_o endure_v that_o which_o come_v let_v he_o often_o remember_v the_o labour_n and_o

because_o as_o the_o apostle_n faith_n whatsoever_o thing_n be_v write_v for_o our_o learning_n they_o be_v write_v that_o we_o by_o patience_n and_o consolation_n of_o the_o scripture_n may_v have_v hope_n let_v he_o often_o yea_o continual_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a have_v before_o his_o eye_n the_o shortness_n of_o this_o life_n and_o the_o eternity_n of_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o eternity_n of_o our_o glory_n or_o pain_n for_o see_v nothing_o can_v hinder_v but_o that_o this_o short_a life_n of_o we_o must_v quick_o pass_v away_o &_o that_o at_o the_o end_n of_o this_o we_o must_v of_o necessity_n arrive_v at_o the_o other_o which_o never_o shall_v have_v end_n whosoever_o shall_v serious_o and_o due_o think_v of_o this_o will_v sure_o less_o regard_n the_o trouble_n of_o the_o world_n nay_o he_o will_v think_v himself_o happy_a if_o by_o they_o he_o can_v escape_v those_o eternal_a pain_n of_o hell_n and_o gain_v heaven_n though_o at_o last_o he_o must_v also_o remember_v that_o god_n almighty_n have_v prepare_v most_o excellent_a reward_n for_o all_o those_o who_o for_o his_o sake_n suffer_v temptation_n and_o persecution_n here_o

end_n the_o perfect_a it_o grow_v for_o its_o end_n be_v its_o perfection_n if_o therefore_o blessedness_n consist_v in_o those_o sensitive_a delight_n a_o man_n shall_v become_v so_o much_o the_o

be_v find_v capable_a of_o happiness_n as_o well_o as_o man_n yea_o rather_o of_o a_o more_o perfect_a happiness_n then_o man_n for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o have_v no_o fear_n of_o death_n no_o

of_o sense_n we_o shall_v all_o desire_n to_o be_v metamorphize_v and_o become_v beast_n why_o because_o beast_n upon_o this_o supposition_n be_v more_o happy_a than_o man_n but_o this_o be_v confess_v to_o be_v absurd_a before_o the_o vii_o conclusion_n that_o the_o happiness_n of_o man_n consist_v in_o such_o good_n as_o pertain_v unto_o the_o intellectual_a or_o superior_a part_n of_o the_o soul_n for_o as_o the_o body_n be_v ordain_v for_o the_o soul_n so_o of_o the_o soul_n the_o vegetative_a or_o low_a part_n be_v ordain_v for_o the_o sensitive_a and_o the_o sensitive_a for_o the_o intellectual_a see_v therefore_o that_o the_o intellect_n or_o rational_a part_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o thing_n whereunto_o both_o it_o and_o also_o the_o inferior_a part_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v subordinate_a and_o direct_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o in_o the_o act_n or_o exercise_n of_o this_o intellect_n and_o in_o the_o good_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o perfection_n thereto_o proper_o belong_v the_o final_a happiness_n of_o man_n do_v consist_v beside_o see_v that_o happiness_n belong_v only_o to_o a_o perfect_a man_n and_o that_o the_o perfection_n of_o man_n as_o man_n consist_v in_o such_o good_n as_o belong_v either_o to_o his_o understanding_n or_o will_n it_o be_v hence_o also_o manifest_a that_o in_o such_o manner_n of_o good_n as_o be_v intellectual_a and_o rational_a his_o proper_a happiness_n consist_v the_o viii_o conclusion_n but_o yet_o this_o happiness_n of_o man_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o any_o create_v good_a although_o intellectual_a for_o as_o we_o say_v before_o blessedness_n be_v such_o a_o perfect_a good_a as_o do_v total_o satisfy_v or_o fulfil_v the_o appetite_n for_o otherwise_o it_o can_v not_o be_v the_o ultimate_a or_o last_o end_n suppose_v there_o remain_v any_o thing_n else_o further_o to_o be_v desire_v now_o the_o object_n of_o the_o will_n that_o be_v of_o the_o appetite_n of_o man_n as_o man_n be_v good_a in_o its_o latitude_n or_o the_o universal_a good_a for_o we_o find_v that_o as_o the_o understanding_n of_o man_n comprehend_v a_o infinity_n of_o particular_a verity_n that_o be_v to_o say_v it_o never_o comprehend_v actual_o so_o many_o but_o it_o be_v still_o apt_a and_o capable_a to_o comprehend_v more_o successive_o even_o in_o infinitum_fw-la so_o also_o we_o find_v that_o the_o will_n of_o man_n be_v as_o able_a to_o desire_v and_o effect_v a_o infinity_n of_o particular_a good_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o it_o also_o never_o actual_o desire_v so_o many_o but_o it_o be_v still_o ready_a to_o accept_v and_o embrace_v more_o whensoever_o offer_v and_o this_o successive_o in_o infinitum_fw-la and_o that_o therefore_o it_o can_v never_o be_v full_o satisfy_v until_o it_o attain_v to_o some_o universal_a or_o infinite_a good_a which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o any_o create_a thing_n for_o the_o goodness_n of_o every_o thing_n create_v be_v at_o best_a but_o derivative_n particular_a and_o finite_a therefore_o in_o no_o create_v good_a can_v the_o felicity_n of_o man_n consist_v the_o ix_o conclusion_n that_o the_o happiness_n of_o man_n consist_v sole_o in_o the_o contemplation_n and_o fruition_n of_o god_n we_o say_v before_o that_o the_o understanding_n of_o man_n rest_v not_o that_o be_v be_v not_o satisfy_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o particular_a verity_n nor_o his_o will_n in_o the_o fruition_n of_o particular_a good_n the_o last_o end_n therefore_o of_o they_o both_o must_v be_v truth_n and_o goodness_n universal_a or_o in_o its_o full_a latitude_n which_o god_n only_o be_v therefore_o in_o the_o contemplation_n and_o fruition_n of_o god_n alone_o the_o beatitude_n of_o man_n consist_v beside_o man_n be_v what_o he_o be_v viz._n a_o creature_n natural_o desirous_a to_o know_v and_o that_o our_o knowledge_n of_o every_o particular_a thing_n seem_v then_o to_o be_v complete_a when_o we_o comprehend_v its_o proper_a and_o true_a cause_n hence_o it_o follow_v that_o whensoever_o we_o observe_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v that_o be_v to_o say_v any_o effect_n we_o instant_o yea_o natural_o desire_v to_o know_v its_o cause_n why_o what_o or_o whence_o it_o be_v now_o all_o thing_n beside_o god_n appear_v unto_o we_o and_o in_o truth_n be_v but_o effect_n of_o some_o other_o cause_n and_o therefore_o whatsoever_o a_o man_n know_v beside_o god_n he_o know_v it_o either_o perfect_o or_o imperfect_o if_o imperfect_o his_o desire_n be_v never_o satisfy_v until_o he_o attain_v perfect_a knowledge_n thereof_o for_o that_o be_v natural_a viz._n for_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v imperfect_a to_o desire_v perfection_n and_o see_v that_o felicity_n as_o we_o have_v say_v be_v the_o perfection_n of_o man_n and_o the_o full_a satisfaction_n of_o his_o intellectual_a appetite_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o by_o such_o imperfect_a knowledge_n of_o any_o thing_n he_o can_v become_v happy_a but_o if_o he_o know_v the_o thing_n perfect_o suppose_v it_o be_v some_o one_o singular_a or_o many_o yea_o perhaps_o all_o particular_a thing_n that_o be_v yet_o he_o can_v but_o apprehend_v they_o still_o as_o effect_n that_o be_v as_o depend_v in_o their_o very_a being_n upon_o some_o other_o cause_n see_v therefore_o as_o we_o say_v that_o man_n observe_v the_o effect_n do_v natural_o desire_v to_o know_v the_o cause_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o this_o appetite_n of_o he_o can_v be_v complete_o satisfy_v with_o the_o knowledge_n even_o of_o all_o particular_a thing_n that_o be_v but_o still_o it_o will_v be_v endeavour_v and_o desire_v to_o see_v also_o the_o cause_n of_o they_o all_o and_o that_o so_o much_o the_o more_o earnest_o by_o how_o much_o it_o find_v the_o effect_n themselves_o to_o be_v more_o excellent_a or_o that_o itself_o apprehend_v they_o more_o perfect_o for_o so_o it_o be_v always_o see_v that_o every_o natural_a motion_n the_o nearor_n it_o draw_v to_o its_o period_n or_o proper_a term_n the_o strong_a and_o strong_a it_o grow_v in_o the_o sole_a knowledge_n therefore_o and_o fruition_n of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o universal_a and_o first_o cause_n of_o all_o thing_n do_v man_n blessedness_n consist_v according_a as_o s._n augustine_n have_v excellent_o well_o observe_v thou_o have_v make_v we_o o_o lord_n say_v he_o for_o thyself_o and_o our_o heart_n be_v restless_a and_o unquiet_a until_o it_o find_v its_o repose_n in_o thou_o the_o x._o conclusion_n that_o this_o beatitude_n formal_o and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o actu_fw-la primo_fw-la consist_v in_o the_o understanding_n or_o see_v of_o god_n as_o he_o be_v but_o exercitative_o operative_o and_o as_o in_o actu_fw-la secundo_fw-la in_o the_o will_n

the_o understanding_n because_o the_o object_n thereof_o be_v always_o some_o know_v or_o imaginary_a good_a see_v therefore_o that_o beatitude_n formal_o and_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n be_v
