yet_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a for_o he_o to_o run_v over_o all_o those_o point_n no_o nor_o all_o those_o mystery_n as_o oft_o as_o he_o recite_v the_o rosary_n but_o if_o he_o can_v sweet_o entertain_v his_o spirit_n upon_o one_o only_a point_n or_o one_o only_a mystery_n he_o may_v not_o only_o lawful_o but_o very_o laudable_o stay_v there_o without_o haste_v forward_o like_o the_o

mystery_n to_o another_o spiritual_a repast_n second_o that_o since_o in_o all_o well-ordered_a mental_a prayer_n there_o be_v a_o concurrency_n of_o the_o understanding_n and_o will_n we_o speak_v not_o here_o of_o that_o high_a exercise_n of_o recollection_n large_o describe_v in_o our_o spiritual_a conquest_n it_o be_v the_o proper_a office_n of_o the_o understanding_n in_o mental_a prayer_n

of_o these_o two_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n all_o meditation_n will_v prove_v fruitless_a and_o unprofitable_a therefore_o the_o understanding_n be_v to_o represent_v to_o its_o internal_a eye_n that_o mystery_n whereupon_o it_o intend_v to_o employ_v itself_o as_o if_o it_o be_v then_o real_o do_v and_o transact_v before_o it_o which_o be_v a_o most_o efficacious_a way_n as_o long_a
