moreover_o you_o ask_v of_o i_o touch_v this_o point_n whether_o the_o superior_a or_o directrice_n ought_v not_o to_o make_v show_n of_o repugnance_n that_o the_o sister_n do_v see_v her_o defect_n and_o what_o she_o ought_v to_o say_v when_o a_o religious_a come_v to_o accuse_v herself_o simple_o to_o she_o of_o some_o judgement_n or_o thought_n that_o she_o have_v have_v which_o note_v her_o

shall_v not_o make_v semblance_n of_o any_o thing_n but_o change_v the_o discourse_n yet_o notwithstanding_o hide_v the_o abjection_n in_o her_o hart_n for_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v good_a head_n that_o ourself_o love_v cause_v we_o not_o to_o loose_v the_o occasion_n of_o see_v ourselves_o unperfect_a and_o of_o humble_v ourselves_o and_o although_o they_o forbear_v the_o exterior_a act_n
