and_o vicious_a inclination_n we_o be_v not_o ignorant_a how_o high_o necessary_a this_o mortification_n be_v how_o much_o it_o be_v commend_v and_o extol_v in_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n and_o by_o

mortification_n be_v a_o necessary_a mean_n to_o attain_v unto_o this_o union_n and_o entire_a and_o perfect_a conformity_n with_o the_o will_n of_o god_n we_o may_v understand_v by_o this_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o let_v and_o hinder_v this_o union_n and_o conformity_n but_o only_o our_o proper_a will_n and_o disordinate_a appetits_fw-fr and_o so_o consequent_o the_o more_o they_o

in_o like_a manner_n mortification_n go_v perfect_v &_o polish_n we_o until_o it_o make_v we_o fit_a to_o be_v join_v to_o god_n and_o apply_v in_o all_o thing_n to_o his_o holy_a will_n and_o therefore_o the_o far_a we_o shall_v proceed_v in_o mortify_v ourselves_o the_o nigh_a we_o shall_v come_v to_o unite_v &_o conjoin_v ourselves_o unto_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o when_o we_o
