censure_v and_o refute_v i._o error_n contemplation_n or_o the_o prayer_n of_o inward_a quietness_n consist_v in_o this_o that_o a_o man_n put_v himself_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n by_o form_v a_o obscure_a act_n of_o faith_n full_a of_o love_n though_o simple_a and_o stop_v there_o without_o go_v further_o and_o without_o suffer_v any_o reason_v the_o image_n of_o any_o thing_n or_o any_o

vivit_fw-la deus_fw-la in_o cujus_fw-la conspecto_fw-la sto_z the_o lord_n live_v in_o who_o presence_n i_o stand_v and_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o the_o divine_n have_v say_v

while_o she_o look_v at_o god_n and_o not_o at_o all_o while_n she_o continue_v in_o a_o unmoveable_a state_n it_o be_v then_o a_o evident_a falsehood_n to_o say_v that_o other_o good_a action_n be_v not_o at_o all_o necessary_a any_o good_a act_n be_v of_o its_o nature_n finite_a may_v become_v always_o better_a by_o be_v often_o reiterated_a and_o the_o multiply_a the_o act_n of_o virtue_n can_v be_v contrary_a to_o the_o reverence_n that_o be_v due_a to_o god_n who_o be_v exempt_a from_o all_o passion_n can_v never_o be_v trouble_v or_o weary_v with_o importunity_n as_o great_a man_n be_v

god_n when_o a_o act_n be_v in_o itself_o good_a the_o repeat_v it_o be_v a_o progress_n in_o good_a which_o be_v approve_v of_o god_n and_o become_v more_o meritorious_a in_o his_o sight_n therefore_o the_o soul_n in_o contemplate_v continue_v her_o act_n and_o do_v not_o stick_v obstinate_o to_o one_o single_a act_n contemplation_n be_v still_o a_o operation_n of_o the_o mind_n

refutation_n a_o christian_a by_o meditate_v serious_o on_o the_o passion_n of_o christ_n and_o teflect_v on_o that_o love_n that_o make_v a_o god_n suffer_v so_o much_o for_o mankind_n may_v upon_o

therefore_o it_o consist_v well_o with_o contemplation_n and_o if_o the_o study_n of_o divinity_n be_v opposite_a to_o this_o than_o the_o ignorance_n of_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o make_v a_o man_n contemplative_a and_o thus_o since_o s._n austin_n and_o all_o the_o other_o holy_a doctor_n and_o light_n of_o the_o church_n be_v man_n learned_a in_o this_o study_n they_o must_v be_v look_v on_o as_o man_n that_o be_v incapable_a of_o rise_v up_o to_o contemplation_n which_o be_v false_a because_o god_n who_o have_v appoint_v the_o priesthood_n as_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o service_n do_v he_o can_v be_v suppose_v to_o have_v intend_v that_o the_o priest_n shall_v not_o be_v contemplative_a person_n and_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o god_n will_v have_v his_o priest_n to_o be_v know_v

say_v in_o this_o article_n that_o the_o learned_a can_v judge_v of_o contemplation_n it_o show_v plain_o that_o the_o ignorance_n of_o those_o spiritualist_n carry_v they_o to_o this_o boldness_n of_o not_o be_v willing_a to_o submit_v to_o that_o correction_n which_o they_o may_v expect_v from_o that_o infallible_a mean_n of_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o learned_a infallibility_n iv_o

our_o saviour_n be_v not_o the_o object_n of_o contemplation_n on_o the_o contrary_a they_o hinder_v it_o so_o that_o contemplative_a person_n must_v avoid_v they_o at_o a_o great_a distance_n and_o think_v of_o they_o only_o with_o contempt_n refutation_n if_o contemplation_n be_v a_o affection_n that_o be_v raise_v in_o the_o understanding_n or_o the_o will_n by_o its_o proper_a object_n by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o that_o consist_v in_o a_o inward_a recollection_n of_o the_o mind_n than_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o proper_a object_n for_o it_o since_o a_o christian_a can_v present_v this_o to_o his_o thought_n and_o raise_v upon_o it_o a_o act_n of_o faith_n and_o love_n beside_o christ_n come_v by_o a_o commission_n from_o his_o eternal_a father_n to_o plant_v paradise_n here_o on_o earth_n deism_n according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o prophet_n isaias_n posui_fw-la verbum_fw-la meum_fw-la in_o ore_fw-la tuo_fw-la ut_fw-la plant_n coelos_n &_o

plant_v true_a joy_n in_o those_o mind_n that_o be_v debase_v by_o original_a sin_n and_o how_o can_v it_o be_v imagine_v that_o contemplative_a person_n can_v rise_v above_o themselves_o in_o their_o contemplation_n to_o taste_v of_o divine_a joy_n if_o they_o must_v keep_v at_o such_o a_o distance_n from_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o immediate_a giver_n of_o they_o and_o despise_v he_o christ_n be_v so_o far_o from_o hinder_v of_o contemplation_n that_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o distribute_v all_o those_o perfection_n and_o spiritual_a joy_n to_o which_o the_o contemplative_a aspire_v v._o error_n corporal_a penitence_n and_o austerity_n do_v not_o belong_v to_o contemplative_a person_n on_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v better_a to_o begin_v one_o conversion_n by_o a_o state_n of_o contemplation_n than_o by_o a_o state_n of_o purgation_n or_o of_o penance_n and_o contemplative_a person_n ought_v to_o avoid_v and_o despise_v all_o the_o effect_n of_o sensible_a devotion_n such_o as_o tenderness_n of_o heart_n tear_n and_o spiritual_a consolation_n all_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o contemplation_n refutation_n mortification_n dispose_v the_o spirit_n to_o rise_v above_o the_o motion_n of_o sense_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o all_o the_o saint_n have_v begin_v their_o course_n towards_o perfection_n with_o fast_v and_o discipline_n and_o therefore_o if_o these_o contemplative_n design_v perfection_n they_o must_v practise_v penance_n since_o nothing_o render_v a_o man_n so_o fit_a for_o contemplation_n as_o to_o rise_v above_o all_o the_o disorder_n of_o sense_n god_n in_o the_o scripture_n promise_n to_o forgive_v the_o mourn_a sinner_n but_o this_o be_v not_o promise_v to_o the_o contemplative_a in_o any_o place_n either_o of_o the_o old_a or_o new_a testament_n therefore_o it_o be_v better_a to_o begin_v one_o conversion_n with_o purgative_a exercise_n and_o pennance_n than_o with_o contemplation_n vi_o error_n true_a contemplation_n must_v keep_v itself_o fix_v only_o to_o the_o essence_n of_o god_n without_o reflect_v either_o on_o his_o person_n or_o his_o attribute_n deism_n and_o a_o act_n of_o faith_n thus_o conceive_v be_v more_o perfect_a and_o meritorious_a than_o that_o which_o consider_v god_n with_o the_o divine_a attribute_n or_o with_o the_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n in_o it_o refutation_n the_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n be_v the_o proper_a object_n of_o faith_n and_o love_n while_o we_o recollect_v all_o the_o power_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o resign_v ourselves_o to_o god_n for_o as_o these_o be_v divine_a truth_n that_o be_v reveal_v to_o we_o so_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n be_v both_o good_a in_o themselves_o and_o good_a to_o we_o so_o that_o they_o be_v proper_a to_o raise_v in_o we_o a_o true_a contemplation_n it_o be_v also_o false_a that_o a_o act_n of_o faith_n that_o have_v god_n for_o its_o object_n without_o consider_v his_o attribute_n or_o the_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v more_o perfect_a than_o that_o which_o regard_v god_n in_o conjunction_n with_o they_o for_o if_o to_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v one_o and_o that_o he_o be_v just_a be_v a_o perfect_a and_o a_o meritorious_a act_n of_o faith_n object_n and_o to_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v true_a in_o his_o nature_n be_v also_o a_o perfect_a and_o meritorious_a act_n then_o the_o act_n by_o which_o god_n be_v believe_v to_o be_v true_a just_a and_o three_o in_o one_o be_v a_o more_o perfect_a and_o a_o more_o meritorious_a act_n than_o that_o in_o which_o he_o be_v consider_v only_o as_o one_o in_o essence_n because_o a_o man_n merit_v more_o by_o two_o act_n of_o the_o same_o virtue_n than_o by_o a_o single_a one_o only_o for_o god_n have_v communicate_v supernatural_a help_n to_o we_o not_o only_o for_o do_v one_o act_n of_o virtue_n but_o that_o we_o may_v make_v a_o advance_v in_o such_o acts._n therefore_o one_o act_n of_o faith_n that_o be_v equivalent_a to_o two_o other_o be_v more_o meritorious_a and_o perfect_a than_o any_o one_o of_o these_o two_o therefore_o we_o may_v just_o conclude_v against_o the_o first_o branch_n of_o this_o article_n that_o true_a and_o perfect_a contemplation_n raise_v to_o its_o high_a pitch_n must_v not_o only_a regard_n god_n in_o his_o essence_n but_o likewise_o in_o his_o person_n and_o attribute_n vii_o error_n the_o soul_n become_v immediate_o unite_v to_o god_n in_o contemplation_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o phantasm_n image_n or_o any_o sort_n of_o representation_n refutation_n though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o soul_n in_o some_o sort_n unite_v herself_o immediate_o to_o god_n in_o contemplation_n phantasm_n that_o be_v by_o a_o

this_o be_v not_o the_o be_v formal_o torment_v or_o the_o endure_a more_o than_o the_o martyr_n suffer_v and_o though_o it_o be_v true_a in_o some_o sort_n that_o pain_n and_o misery_n come_v after_o
