if_o we_o do_v unite_v and_o join_v our_o work_v with_o those_o of_o christ_n they_o become_v no_o less_o noble_a and_o worthy_a then_o do_v brass_n when_o it_o be_v melt_v with_o gold_n which_o

near_o unto_o we_o than_o we_o be_v to_o ourselves_o we_o yet_o feel_v he_o not_o to_o this_o he_o answer_v very_o well_o and_o yield_v the_o reason_n in_o this_o manner_n say_v that_o it_o proceed_v of_o this_o because_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n do_v not_o work_v in_o us._n but_o why_o do_v not_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n work_n in_o we_o because_o we_o desire_v not_o the_o same_o with_o all_o

eleven_o be_v that_o when_o thou_o do_v feel_v thyself_o much_o comfort_v &_o favour_v of_o almighty_a god_n at_o time_n of_o prayer_n thou_o then_o persuade_v they_o self_n that_o thou_o be_v

the._n 12._o the_o twelth_n be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o desite_fw-la revelation_n vision_n trance_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n to_o the_o end_n we_o give_v no_o occasion_n to_o the_o illusion_n and_o deceit_n of_o the_o diule_n 13._o the_o thirthenth_n be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o discover_v to_o every_o body_n the_o favour_n that_o god_n do_v aford_v we_o in_o our_o prayer_n but_o keep_v they_o secret_a &_o dissemble_v they_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o other_o for_o danger_n of_o vain_a glory_n because_o sweet_a thing_n the_o more_o that_o they_o be_v keep_v close_o the_o better_a they_o be_v preserve_v and_o therefore_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o other_o it_o be_v good_a to_o abstain_v from_o weep_v sob_a sigh_a &_o such_o like_a thing_n 14._o the_o fourtenth_n be_v that_o albeit_o almighty_a god_n show_v we_o great_a favour_n yet_o we_o must_v stand_v before_o he_o with_o great_a fear_n and_o reverence_n consider_v the_o goodness_n of_o he_o that_o be_v so_o delight_v

at_o great_a solemnity_n and_o festival_n day_n it_o be_v good_a to_o dilate_v ourselves_o more_o in_o prayer_n 16._o the_o sixteenth_o be_v that_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o prayer_n and_o mortification_n we_o must_v use_v discretion_n to_o the_o end_n we_o fall_v not_o into_o extremity_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v expedient_a to_o give_v account_n of_o ourselves_o to_o our_o ghostly_a

that_o all_o the_o virtue_n be_v unite_v and_o link_v one_o with_o a_o other_o and_o therefore_o in_o vain_a he_o labour_v for_o one_o who_o labour_v not_o for_o all_o 18._o the_o eighteen_o be_v

ourselves_o and_o put_v it_o all_o in_o god_n 19_o the_o nineteenth_o be_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o be_v always_o tie_v to_o one_o only_o sort_n of_o meditation_n but_o he_o may_v
