these_o three_o important_a advertisment_n first_o that_o though_o there_o be_v many_o point_v set_v down_o and_o many_o mystery_n propose_v for_o the_o theme_n and_o subject_n of_o our_o meditation_n 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 bee_n which_o forsake_v not_o that_o flower_n upon_o which_o she_o first_o fasten_v as_o long_o as_o she_o find_v any_o sweetness_n to_o be_v suck_v from_o it_o refer_v the_o other_o point_n and_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

discourse_n of_o the_o understanding_n there_o be_v discover_v some_o devout_a conception_n the_o will_v be_v forthwith_o excite_v to_o holy_a affection_n either_o of_o love_n or_o hatred_n of_o avoid_v or_o embrace_v of_o joy_n or_o grief_n according_a to_o the_o subject_n of_o the_o present_a meditation_n the_o suggestion_n of_o the_o understanding_n and_o the_o internal_a motion_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n for_o since_o as_o have_v be_v say_v the_o chief_a office_n of_o the_o understanding_n in_o all_o mental_a prayer_n be_v to_o inflame_v the_o will_n with_o sacred_a affection_n and_o since_o affective_a prayer_n as_o all_o spiritual_a author_n agree_v be_v far_o more_o perfect_a in_o itself_o profitable_a to_o we_o and_o please_v to_o the_o divin_n majesty_n than_o

and_o of_o the_o angelical_a salutation_n be_v altogether_o different_a and_o foreign_a as_o to_o the_o meditation_n upon_o the_o mystery_n and_o since_o our_o understanding_n can_v attend_v to_o

to_o the_o great_a to_o begin_v with_o the_o vocal_a recitation_n thereby_o to_o excite_v their_o spirit_n ardour_n to_o ascend_v to_o the_o contemplation_n of_o the_o propose_a mystery_n as_o for_o

and_o so_o to_o make_v this_o prayer_n run_v upon_o two_o foot_n or_o rather_o fly_v with_o two_o wing_n up_o to_o heaven_n seem_v far_o more_o powerful_a and_o efficacious_a for_o as_o concern_v
