attentive_o and_o chief_o concern_v the_o capacity_n remember_v that_o it_o be_v not_o your_o great_a wit_n nor_o your_o high_a study_n which_o make_v you_o capable_a of_o meditate_v but_o humility_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o your_o own_o disability_n to_o think_v or_o do_v any_o good_a action_n and_o the_o great_a desire_n to_o profit_v in_o virtue_n these_o be_v the_o disposition_n which_o render_v you_o capable_a of_o meditate_v or_o rather_o of_o receive_v the_o light_n and_o motion_n of_o divine_a grace_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n we_o seek_v in_o meditation_n and_o not_o our_o
