of_o meditation_n which_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o mental_a prayer_n but_o meditation_n do_v speculate_v the_o aforesaid_a object_n &_o discourse_v on_o they_o to_o move_v some_o affection_n as_o love_v

our_o sin_n or_o hatred_n of_o they_o by_o which_o our_o soul_n be_v purge_v from_o all_o filth_n of_o sin_n the_o second_o way_n be_v illuminative_a when_o by_o meditation_n our_o understanding_n

stir_v up_o in_o our_o heart_n a_o love_n of_o god_n a_o complacence_n in_o his_o goodness_n or_o mercy_n or_o other_o his_o perfection_n and_o divine_a attribute_n &_o by_o this_o way_n our_o soul_n

which_o sorrow_n the_o soul_n be_v purge_v from_o sin_n in_o my_o meditation_n upon_o the_o passion_n i_o propose_v the_o illuminative_a way_n because_o christ_n in_o his_o passion_n have_v set_v we_o
