they_o perceive_v not_o by_o such_o way_n and_o mean_n by_o such_o application_n do_v they_o seek_v to_o relieve_v they_o in_o the_o state_n and_o condition_n wherein_o they_o be_v but_o what_o be_v

these_o two_o caution_n 1._o that_o spiritual_a wisdom_n and_o prudence_n be_v great_o require_v in_o this_o matter_n in_o the_o administration_n of_o consolation_n to_o distress_a soul_n if_o in_o any_o thing_n the_o tongue_n of_o the_o spiritual_o learned_a be_v require_v herein_o namely_o in_o speak_v a_o word_n in_o season_n to_o they_o that_o be_v weary_a a_o promiscuous_a draw_v out_o of_o

and_o let_v man_n take_v care_n how_o they_o commit_v their_o soul_n and_o conscience_n unto_o such_o who_o have_v good_a word_n in_o readiness_n for_o all_o comer_n 2._o if_o counsel_n and_o consolation_n of_o this_o kind_n be_v give_v special_a and_o distinct_a from_o the_o advice_n we_o be_v upon_o of_o watchfulness_n diligence_n spiritual_a violence_n in_o a_o way_n of_o duty_n it_o be_v exceed_o dangerous_a and_o will_v assure_o prove_v useless_a for_o let_v we_o see_v what_o counsel_n the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v in_o this_o condition_n unto_o they_o who_o will_v make_v their_o call_v and_o election_n sure_a who_o will_v be_v free_v from_o their_o present_a fear_n and_o uncertainty_n who_o complain_v of_o their_o darkness_n and_o danger_n why_o say_v he_o give_v all_o diligence_n add_v to_o your_o faith_n virtue_n and_o so_o on_o v_o 5._o for_o say_v he_o if_o you_o do_v these_o thing_n a_o entrance_n shall_v be_v administer_v unto_o you_o abundant_o into_o the_o everlasting_a kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n v_o 11._o you_o who_o be_v now_o in_o the_o skyrt_v of_o it_o who_o know_v not_o whether_o you_o belong_v unto_o it_o or_o

this_o be_v the_o advice_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v in_o this_o case_n and_o this_o be_v the_o bless_a promise_n annex_v unto_o the_o follow_n of_o this_o advice_n and_o this_o the_o former_a compassionate_a course_n of_o administer_a consolation_n be_v not_o to_o be_v separate_v from_o but_o you_o will_v it_o may_v be_v here_o say_v we_o be_v so_o dead_a and_o dull_a so_o chain_v
