labour_n to_o eschew_v in_o this_o exercise_n superfluous_a speculation_n of_o the_o understanding_n and_o procure_v to_o handle_v this_o affair_n rather_o with_o affection_n and_o feeling_n of_o the_o will_v then_o with_o discourse_n and_o speculation_n of_o the_o wit_n wherefore_o they_o undowtedlie_o take_v not_o the_o right_a course_n who_n in_o time_n of_o prayer_n give_v themselves_o to_o meditate_v upon_o divine_a mystery_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o if_o they_o study_v to_o preach_v they_o which_o manner_n be_v rather_o to_o make_v our_o spirit_n to_o wander_v more_o abroad_o then_o to_o recollect_v it_o and_o to_o go_v more_o out_o of_o itself_o then_o to_o be_v in_o itself_o therefore_o who_n mind_v to_o do_v welin_fw-mi this_o matter_n let_v he_o come_v with_o the_o hart_n as_o it_o be_v of_o a_o old_a woman_n ignorant_a and_o humble_a and_o rather_o with_o a_o will_v dispose_v and_o prepare_v to_o feel_v and_o to_o be_v affect_v towards_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n then_o with_o a_o understanding_n purify_v and_o attentive_a to_o search_v and_o examine_v they_o because_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n proper_a to_o those_o that_o study_n to_o get_v knowledge_n and_o not_o to_o those_o that_o pray_v and_o think_v upon_o god_n thereby_o to_o lament_v and_o mourn_v the_o three_o advice_n the_o former_a advice_n teach_v we_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o quiet_v

be_v present_a at_o that_o which_o our_o saviour_n have_v suffer_v behold_v with_o a_o sincere_a and_o quiet_a eye_n with_o a_o tender_a and_o compassionate_a hart_n &_o prepare_v for_o what_o soever_o feel_v it_o shall_v please_v our_o lord_n to_o give_v he_o that_o which_o he_o suffer_v for_o he_o and_o so_o dispose_v himself_o rather_o to_o receive_v such_o affection_n as_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n shall_v aford_v he_o then_o to_o wring_v they_o out_o with_o tear_n and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v this_o let_v he_o not_o vex_v himself_o any_o more_o for_o any_o other_o thing_n though_o
