no_o creature_n can_v come_v unto_o that_o perfection_n which_o shall_v be_v equal_a with_o this_o sacrament_n in_o like_a sort_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v receive_v worthy_o be_v not_o necessary_o

to_o be_v worthy_a it_o be_v sufficient_a according_a unto_o s._n paul_n that_o the_o party_n which_o receave_v have_v that_o disposition_n wherewith_o god_n be_v content_v that_o be_v beforehande_v to_o examine_v his_o conscience_n to_o have_v contrition_n and_o to_o confess_v his_o sin_n and_o so_o to_o receive_v the_o b._n sacrament_n be_v not_o pride_n w._n if_o this_o be_v sufficient_a what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o some_o saint_n for_o reverence_n of_o this_o so_o great_a a_o sacrament_n refuse_v to_o be_v make_v priest_n as_o do_v s._n frances_n eius_fw-la in_o vita_fw-la eius_fw-la and_o mark_v a_o holy_a anchorite_n out_o of_o one_o of_o his_o finger_n because_o he_o will_v beunable_v for_o preisthood_n s._n the_o saint_n of_o god_n have_v have_v diverse_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o the_o which_o gift_n have_v spring_v forth_o diverse_a deed_n all_o which_o be_v to_o be_v praise_v but_o all_o be_v not_o to_o be_v imitate_v of_o we_o that_o these_o

be_v make_v preiste_n and_o have_v celebrate_v every_o day_n and_o these_o also_o have_v do_v well_o more_o over_o those_o saint_n do_v abstain_v from_o the_o dignity_n of_o preisthoode_n but_o not_o from_o often_o receive_v whereof_o we_o now_o reason_n &_o it_o be_v a_o ancient_a use_n where_o with_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n begin_v 2._o act._n 2._o as_o s._n luke_n the_o evangelist_n

to_o abstain_v from_o the_o bressed_a sacrament_n then_o to_o receive_v often_o lest_o we_o be_v not_o so_o well_o dispose_v to_o receive_v our_o saviour_n often_o &_o we_o ought_v always_o to_o follow_v the_o secure_a way_n s._n yea_o rather_o because_o we_o have_v not_o such_o fervour_n as_o they_o then_o have_v we_o ought_v more_o effectual_o to_o be_v move_v often_o to_o frequent_v this_o

those_o which_o be_v hot_a and_o every_o time_n that_o we_o be_v right_o confess_v and_o go_v with_o good_a intention_n there_o be_v no_o danger_n at_o all_o and_o therefore_o we_o may_v secure_o communicate_v w._n i_o have_v always_o hear_v say_v that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v institute_v of_o christ_n as_o medicine_n but_o medicine_n must_v not_o be_v take_v so_o often_o s._n if_o man_n be_v seldom_o spiritual_o sick_a your_o argument_n be_v of_o force_n but_o because_o our_o nature_n be_v so_o weak_a and_o infirm_a that_o it_o often_o faint_v and_o fall_v sick_a it_o be_v very_o requisite_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v often_o help_v and_o strenghn_v with_o this_o most_o sacred_a medicine_n moreover_o for_o that_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n preserve_v our_o soul_n from_o spiritual_a evell_n it_o be_v much_o better_a therewith_o to_o prevent_v those_o malady_n then_o after_o their_o come_n to_o cure_v they_o final_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n betwixt_o corporal_a medicine_n and_o this_o spiritual_a medicine_n for_o they_o expel_v sickness_n from_o the_o body_n and_o often_o time_n together_o with_o bad_a humour_n do_v take_v away_o also_o the_o good_a but_o this_o bring_v unto_o the_o soul_n grace_n fortitude_n &_o other_o heavenly_a gift_n for_o these_o respect_n they_o ought_v seldom_o to_o be_v take_v and_o this_o aught_o often_o to_o be_v receive_v hereunto_o may_v be_v add_v that_o not_o without_o good_a cause_n corporal_a medicine_n most_o common_o be_v bitter_a and_o loathsome_a that_o therefore_o they_o shall_v be_v take_v as_o seldom_o as_o may_v be_v but_o this_o spiritual_a medicine_n be_v both_o sweet_a and_o delightful_a shall_v conformablle_v to_o the_o institution_n of_o almighty_a god_n be_v often_o reecave_v w._n but_o can_v you_o deny_v that_o it_o be_v a_o good_a and_o virtuous_a act_n to_o abstain_v from_o receive_v for_o reverence_n of_o this_o most_o worthy_a sacrament_n s._n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o this_o act_n be_v not_o good_a but_o i_o affirm_v that_o to_o frequent_v the_o bless_a sacrament_n for_o devotion_n and_o for_o desire_n to_o be_v unite_v with_o christ_n be_v much_o better_a for_o this_o spring_v forth_o from_o love_n and_o that_o from_o fear_n and_o every_o one_o know_v that_o love_n be_v more_o perfect_a than_o fear_n wherefore_o you_o shall_v do_v very_o well_o to_o begin_v to_o communicate_v also_o every_o eight_o day_n as_o many_o one_o most_o worth_a he_o do_v w._n i_o be_o altogether_o unworthy_a to_o receive_v so_o often_o s._n wherefore_o be_v you_o unworthy_a w._n because_o that_o every_o day_n i_o fall_v into_o many_o sin_n s._n if_o the_o sin_n of_o eight_o day_n do_v hinder_v you_o from_o receive_v the_o bless_a sacrament_n much_o more_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o whole_a month_n or_o of_o a_o whole_a year_n will_v let_v and_o hinder_v you_o and_o so_o you_o shall_v never_o communicate_v w._n nay_o rather_o by_o communicatinge_v seldom_o i_o shall_v have_v more_o time_n and_o leisure_n to_o examine_v and_o prepare_v myself_o s._n o_o brother_n thou_o much_o deceave_v thyself_o for_o since_o that_o our_o nature_n be_v of_o itself_o

wherefore_o my_o dear_a brother_n if_o thou_o will_v provide_v well_o for_o thyself_o refourme_v thyself_o with_o all_o speed_n possible_a for_o the_o long_o that_o a_o tree_n grow_v crooked_a so_o much_o more_o bad_o &_o more_o hardly_o be_v it_o bring_v unto_o any_o straightness_n w._n i_o understand_v not_o what_o deceit_n this_o be_v for_o that_o i_o see_v that_o they_o which_o communicate_v often_o go_v cold_o thereunto_o without_o devotion_n &_o as_o it_o be_v of_o custom_n and_o they_o which_o seldom_o go_v communicate_v with_o great_a reverence_n and_o devotion_n therefore_o it_o be_v

a_o year_n do_v communicate_v without_o any_o affection_n of_o love_n very_o cold_o &_o as_o it_o be_v by_o constraint_n moreover_o if_o there_o be_v any_o which_o without_o devotion_n do_v frequent_v the_o holy_a eucharist_n they_o do_v naughtilie_o and_o i_o reason_v not_o of_o they_o but_o of_o such_o as_o go_v well_o dispose_v to_o receive_v w._n if_o as_o you_o say_v it_o be_v better_a to_o receive_v often_o then_o seldom_o how_o happen_v it_o that_o some_o man_n which_o be_v also_o learned_a do_v not_o praise_v often_o receive_v s._n i_o have_v neither_o see_v nor_o hear_v that_o any_o one_o of_o judgement_n and_o devotion_n do_v ever_o dispraise_v this_o action_n so_o holy_a so_o profitable_a and_o so_o grateful_a unto_o god_n but_o it_o may_v well_o be_v that_o some_o vicious_a and_o sensual_a person_n do_v not_o praise_v the_o often_o receive_v of_o our_o lord_n for_o that_o thy_o think_v he_o to_o be_v unworthe_o receive_v judge_v those_o which_o frequent_a this_o bless_a

soul_n with_o this_o heavenly_a bread_n but_o i_o do_v it_o not_o for_o avoid_v the_o speech_n of_o the_o world_n which_o use_v to_o scorn_v &_o scoff_n at_o those_o which_o often_o use_v to_o
