if_o thou_o faint_v despair_n or_o else_o miscrust_n thy_o own_o poverty_n and_o the_o small_a good_a service_n thou_o have_v do_v towards_o god_n remember_v thyself_o of_o the_o great_a riches_n

thou_o and_o to_o thy_o behoof_n and_o he_o will_v that_o thou_o shall_v be_v partaker_n thereof_o if_o the_o fault_n be_v not_o in_o thyself_o so_o that_o thou_o may_v assure_o believe_v that_o his_o

thou_o for_o as_o we_o have_v say_v for_o thou_o he_o suffer_v and_o he_o gracious_o will_v thou_o shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o so_o to_o understand_v what_o precious_a

shall_v cause_v thou_o to_o say_v with_o saint_n paul_n god_n forbid_v that_o i_o shall_v rejoice_v or_o glory_v in_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o in_o the_o cross_n of_o my_o lord_n jesu_n christ_n and_o worthy_o for_o in_o it_o thou_o have_v a_o infinite_a treasure_n by_o mean_n whereof_o thou_o have_v obtain_v salvation_n and_o reconciliation_n between_o god_n and_o thou_o and_o thy_o sin_n be_v forgive_v thou_o thou_o be_v receive_v for_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n be_v open_v unto_o thou_o and_o with_o it_o and_o by_o it_o all_o goodness_n in_o one_o heap_n be_v

after_o this_o sort_n thou_o have_v meditate_v upon_o this_o holy_a mystery_n thou_o must_v remember_v that_o this_o hope_n and_o joy_n which_o thou_o shall_v feel_v in_o find_v thyself_o so_o enrich_v and_o full_a of_o spiritual_a treasure_n they_o cause_v thou_o not_o to_o wax_v cold_a negligent_a and_o slothful_a in_o good_a work_n but_o rather_o that_o thereby_o thou_o be_v stir_v &_o prick_v forward_o in_o fervent_a and_o earnest_a love_n of_o god_n and_o to_o serve_v he_o aswell_o to_o show_v thyself_o as_o good_a reason_n be_v thankful_a to_o thy_o benefactor_n as_o also_o lest_o he_o take_v away_o again_o from_o thou_o the_o same_o his_o gift_n and_o riches_n as_o it_o have_v happen_v to_o other_o for_o their_o unthankfulness_n and_o negligence_n and_o thus_o much_o touch_v this_o manner_n of_o meditation_n a_o declaration_n of_o the_o eight_o manner_n of_o meditation_n by_o the_o way_n of_o love_n the_o eight_o kind_n and_o sort_n of_o meditation_n upon_o the_o

may_v remain_v inflame_v in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n according_a to_o that_o which_o the_o holy_a prophet_n david_n understand_v when_o he_o say_v in_o my_o meditation_n the_o fire_n shall_v be_v
