in_o private_a and_o another_o wherein_n though_o we_o utter_v no_o sound_n prayer_n yet_o we_o conceive_v the_o expression_n and_o form_n the_o word_n as_o it_o be_v in_o our_o mind_n which_o i_o

collect_v all_o its_o force_n by_o long_a and_o serious_a meditation_n it_o dart_v itself_o so_o to_o speak_v towards_o god_n in_o sigh_n and_o groan_n and_o thought_n too_o big_a for_o expression_n as_o when_o after_o a_o deep_a contemplation_n of_o the_o divine_a perfection_n appear_v in_o all_o his_o work_n of_o wonder_n it_o address_v itself_o unto_o he_o in_o the_o profound_a adoration_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o glory_n or_o when_o after_o sad_a reflection_n on_o its_o vileness_n and_o miscarriage_n it_o prostrate_v itself_o before_o he_o with_o the_o great_a confusion_n and_o sorrow_n not_o dare_v to_o lift_v up_o its_o eye_n or_o utter_v one_o word_n in_o his_o presence_n or_o when_o have_v well_o consider_v the_o beauty_n of_o holiness_n and_o the_o unspeakable_a

continue_v and_o repeat_v each_o of_o these_o act_n as_o long_o as_o it_o find_v itself_o uphold_v by_o the_o force_n and_o impulse_n of_o the_o previous_a meditation_n this_o mental_a prayer_n be_v of_o all_o other_o the_o most_o effectual_a to_o purify_v the_o soul_n and_o dispose_v it_o unto_o a_o holy_a and_o religious_a temper_n and_o may_v be_v term_v the_o great_a secret_a of_o devotion_n and_o one_o of_o the_o most_o powerful_a instrument_n of_o the_o divine_a life_n and_o it_o may_v be_v the_o apostle_n have_v a_o peculiar_a respect_n unto_o it_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o

of_o that_o holy_a sacrament_n which_o be_v peculiar_o appoint_v to_o nourish_v and_o increase_v the_o spiritual_a life_n when_o once_o it_o be_v beget_v in_o the_o soul_n all_o the_o instrument_n
