of_o frailrie_n the_o mind_n be_v carry_v away_o the_o fruit_n of_o that_o prayer_n be_v not_o therefore_o lose_v or_o frustrate_v but_o have_v his_o effect_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o former_a intention_n and_o purpose_n and_o the_o same_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o the_o second_o attention_n if_o one_o that_o understand_v the_o language_n in_o which_o he_o pray_v do_v purpose_n to_o mark_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n and_o yet_o afterward_o fail_v to_o perform_v it_o but_o between_o this_o second_o and_o the_o first_o attention_n this_o be_v the_o difference_n that_o albeit_o this_o second_o be_v profitable_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o so_o necessary_a as_o the_o first_o neither_o in_o the_o begin_n nor_o in_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o prayer_n for_o those_o that_o pray_v in_o a_o tongue_n they_o understand_v not_o can_v not_o have_v this_o attention_n and_o yet_o their_o prayer_n be_v profitable_a and_o fruitful_a by_o the_o universal_a judgement_n of_o all_o doctor_n the_o three_o attention_n by_o which_o the_o mind_n be_v lift_v up_o to_o god_n and_o good_a spiritual_a desire_n and_o cogitation_n be_v not_o only_o necessary_a in_o the_o beginning_n like_a as_o the_o first_o attention_n be_v but_o also_o most_o necessary_a of_o all_o the_o three_o to_o be_v keep_v still_o without_o interruption_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o three_o effect_n and_o this_o the_o vulerned_a may_v also_o have_v pray_v in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n and_o it_o sometime_o so_o abound_v that_o the_o mind_n forget_v all_o other_o thing_n as_o s._n thomas_n and_o before_o he_o s._n hugo_n de_fw-fr victore_fw-la and_o other_o do_v teach_v and_o in_o this_o case_n it_o supply_v also_o the_o defect_n which_o often_o happen_v in_o the_o other_o two_o attention_n as_o well_o in_o those_o vocal_a prayer_n which_o we_o be_v bind_v unto_o by_o precept_n of_o the_o church_n or_o other_o obligation_n so_o there_o be_v no_o notable_a defect_n in_o recite_v the_o word_n as_o in_o other_o prayer_n which_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o say_v and_o final_o this_o attention_n perfect_v so_o much_o as_o can_v be_v in_o this_o transitory_a life_n the_o spiritual_a repast_n of_o the_o faithful_a soul_n which_o attention_n cease_v necessary_o the_o refection_n of_o the_o mind_n therewith_o also_o vanish_v but_o yet_o the_o other_o two_o effect_n do_v not_o therefore_o cease_v but_o remain_v still_o for_o not_o with_o stand_v the_o mind_n be_v carry_v by_o humane_a frailty_n without_o voluntary_a consent_n to_o think_v upon_o base_a and_o terrestrial_a thing_n yet_o the_o prayer_n may_v both_o merit_n increase_v of_o grace_n and_o obtain_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v ask_v and_o much_o less_o be_v every_o evagation_n of_o mind_n in_o prayer_n to_o be_v repute_v a_o sin_n but_o that_o only_a which_o we_o either_o volunrary_o admit_v or_o willing_o desire_v of_o some_o vain_a or_o hurtful_a thing_n and_o so_o you_o see_v the_o manner_n of_o pray_v propose_v in_o this_o book_n do_v not_o hinder_v due_a attention_n as_o the_o objection_n presuppose_v but_o great_o help_v the_o same_o and_o bring_v also_o other_o spiritual_a commodity_n of_o which_o some_o may_v be_v here_o brief_o note_v for_o first_o beside_o that_o the_o mind_n be_v hereby_o direct_v to_o the_o best_a and_o most_o necessary_a attention_n require_v in_o prayer_n such_o also_o as_o be_v not_o so_o well_o instruct_v already_o may_v by_o this_o form_n of_o say_v the_o rosary_n and_o corones_n here_o ensue_v learn_v many_o particular_a and_o most_o necessary_a point_n of_o christian_a doctrine_n which_o be_v once_o know_v can_v not_o but_o move_v a_o true_a christian_a hart_n to_o some_o more_o or_o less_o cogitation_n and_o meditation_n of_o so_o great_a and_o singular_a benefit_n bestow_v upon_o we_o by_o almighty_a god_n and_o the_o more_o one_o shall_v meditate_v upon_o the_o same_o the_o more_o also_o shall_v his_o knowledge_n be_v still_o increase_v so_o knowledge_n and_o meditation_n do_v mutual_o help_v and_o increase_v each_o other_o but_o one_o without_o the_o other_o avail_v little_a for_o as_o meditation_n without_o knowledge_n be_v erroneous_a so_o knowledge_n without_o meditation_n be_v dry_a and_o fruitless_a but_o both_o together_o will_v easy_o enkindle_v the_o soul_n with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o feed_v it_o with_o a_o spititual_a refection_n
