most_o high_a perfection_n the_o perfection_n presuppose_v of_o all_o the_o estate_n before_o declare_v even_o unto_o this_o present_a cosi_v in_o a_o utter_a forsake_v of_o all_o pretence_n

unto_o a_o most_o high_a perfection_n which_o consist_v in_o the_o examen_fw-la follow_v distinguish_v into_o seven_o point_n 1._o the_o first_o be_v when_o the_o soul_n apprehend_v any_o trouble_n or_o affliction_n that_o of_o new_a be_v present_v unto_o she_o for_o that_o then_o by_o the_o suggestion_n of_o the_o inferior_a or_o infirm_a part_n the_o apprehension_n of_o such_o a_o cross_n be_v accustom_v to_o be_v very_o vehement_a and_o with_o this_o a_o thousand_o exaggeration_n will_v be_v present_v that_o will_v cause_v it_o to_o appear_v more_o violent_a whereby_o the_o soul_n be_v accustom_v to_o take_v this_o affliction_n with_o much_o difficulty_n and_o many_o repugnance_n to_o remedy_v this_o and_o to_o provide_v for_o it_o thorough_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o superior_a part_n of_o the_o soul_n propose_v all_o this_o before_o she_o as_o a_o judge_n do_v who_o before_o he_o give_v his_o sentence_n harken_v to_o the_o reason_n of_o both_o party_n provide_v always_o that_o she_o be_v not_o move_v any_o thing_n with_o their_o reason_n but_o that_o she_o remain_v without_o passion_n or_o any_o kind_n of_o alteration_n suspend_v her_o judgement_n until_o she_o find_v out_o what_o may_v be_v according_a to_o reason_n and_o that_o she_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v it_o these_o two_o mean_n will_v aid_v she_o the_o one_o be_v that_o she_o enter_v into_o herself_o and_o consider_v how_o almighty_a god_n know_v and_o see_v all_o her_o trouble_n and_o whatsoever_o she_o endure_v and_o therefore_o she_o ought_v to_o remit_v it_o whole_o into_o his_o hand_n to_o dispose_v thereof_o as_o he_o see_v most_o expedient_a the_o second_o be_v to_o consider_v &_o believe_v assure_o that_o even_o as_o the_o divine_a bounty_n desire_v nothing_o but_o our_o good_a even_o so_o his_o divine_a providence_n which_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o not_o be_v permit_v unto_o we_o to_o seek_v too_o curious_o into_o it_o know_v very_o well_o how_o to_o provide_v &_o remedy_v all_o in_o time_n and_o manner_n as_o it_o shall_v seem_v best_a unto_o he_o and_o not_o as_o best_o like_v we_o nor_o as_o it_o may_v best_o please_v us._n of_o this_o suspension_n and_o repose_v of_o spirit_n follow_v two_o thing_n the_o first_o that_o she_o put_v away_o and_o reject_v all_o the_o hindrance_n and_o trouble_v and_o the_o deceit_n that_n may_v happen_v by_o this_o apprehension_n and_o second_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o she_o shall_v come_v to_o conceive_v a_o true_a pure_a sincere_a and_o mature_a apprehension_n of_o all_o her_o affair_n the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v come_v to_o receive_v and_o accept_v this_o affliction_n as_o come_v from_o god_n remedy_n she_o must_v not_o rest_v herself_o here_o or_o permit_v herself_o to_o accept_v of_o it_o as_o often_o many_o soul_n be_v accustom_v to_o do_v to_o wit_n base_o with_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o difficultye_n of_o excuse_n and_o seek_v of_o themselves_o but_o she_o must_v accept_v thereof_o ●o_o offer_v it_o &_o return_v it_o unto_o god_n accept_v it_o only_o in_o he_o and_o for_o he_o 4._o the_o four_o point_n be_v to_o know_v in_o what_o manner_n the_o superior_a part_n must_v suffer_v with_o the_o inferior_a and_o with_o the_o exterior_a sense_n in_o the_o repugnance_n &_o contrariety_n which_o they_o feel_v as_o have_v be_v say_v before_o remedy_n the_o superior_a part_n ought_v to_o do_v all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v before_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o inferior_a and_o weak_a part_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o it_o be_v not_o with_o a_o certain_a excessive_a violence_n which_o may_v cause_v they_o whole_o to_o loose_v their_o strength_n and_o vigour_n or_o so_o as_o may_v trouble_v or_o make_v the_o soul_n pusillanimous_a and_o fearful_a or_o else_o utter_o unable_a to_o support_v so_o great_a a_o blow_n but_o she_o ought_v for_o this_o cause_n something_o to_o suffer_v with_o they_o and_o encourage_v they_o with_o all_o the_o reason_n the_o can_v imagine_v and_o she_o must_v do_v all_o this_o with_o the_o great_a discretion_n that_o she_o can_v possible_o in_o give_v now_o and_o then_o some_o relaxation_n unto_o their_o travail_n and_o affliction_n &_o in_o seek_v the_o most_o convenient_a remedy_n that_o she_o can_v advise_v herself_o of_o even_o as_o one_o that_o will_v have_v a_o horse_n or_o any_o other_o beast_n to_o serve_v his_o turn_n will_v give_v he_o more_o meat_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v be_v strong_a and_o able_a to_o travail_v better_o when_o there_o be_v need_n and_o when_o by_o reason_n of_o divine_a subtraction_n she_o can_v use_v the_o force_n of_o any_o act_n of_o consolation_n or_o ra●sing_v up_o of_o her_o mind_n she_o ought_v to_o repose_v in_o this_o and_o procure_v the_o part_n that_o be_v inferior_a to_o repose_v in_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o this_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o divine_a conformity_n which_o will_v bring_v much_o more_o true_a and_o strengthen_v consolation_n although_o it_o do_v not_o seem_v so_o 5._o the_o five_o point_n be_v how_o she_o ought_v to_o comport_v herself_o with_o self-love_n in_o this_o case_n or_o the_o like_a remedy_n self-love_n be_v accustom_v to_o pretend_v &_o seek_v in_o all_o thing_n she_o own_o interest_n and_o particular_a commodity_n direct_o or_o indirect_o and_o it_o do_v so_o also_o in_o this_o under_o pretence_n of_o many_o good_a reason_n yea_o even_o of_o virtue_n and_o purpose_v many_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o to_o the_o purpose_n &_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o soul_n with_o the_o purity_n of_o a_o right_a intention_n ought_v to_o discover_v by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n all_o his_o deceit_n &_o oppose_v herself_o against_o this_o self_n love_v very_o free_o and_o effectual_o &_o by_o the_o force_n of_o a_o pure_a &_o clean_a love_n she_o ought_v to_o reject_v all_o particular_a and_o self_a respect_n and_o follow_v pure_o that_o which_o god_n shall_v inspire_v and_o teach_v she_o 6._o the_o sixth_o point_n be_v how_o that_o the_o superior_a part_n ought_v to_o answer_v to_o the_o proposition_n or_o offer_n that_o our_o lord_n will_v make_v unto_o her_o concern_v these_o pain_n and_o affliction_n or_o other_o great_a remedy_n after_o this_o that_o have_v be_v above_o say_v our_o lord_n be_v accustom_v to_o make_v many_o propositionn_n to_o the_o soul_n as_o for_o example_n that_o he_o will_v send_v she_o many_o other_o affliction_n or_o else_o make_v she_o
