and_o now_o in_o the_o wind_a up_o of_o my_o discourse_n let_v i_o give_v you_o this_o caution_n dear_o belove_v let_v it_o not_o seem_v strange_a unto_o you_o what_o i_o have_v say_v unto_o you_o

strange_a kind_n and_o unheard_a of_o discourse_n the_o bride_n have_v with_o the_o bridegroom_n nevertheless_o the_o holy_a scripture_n also_o oft_o make_v mention_n how_o a_o love_a and_o devote_a soul_n discourse_n with_o the_o bridegroom_n and_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o her_o word_n hardly_o will_v bear_v sense_n with_o they_o which_o also_o sometime_o happen_v even_o at_o this_o day_n

fear_v beloved_n i_o be_o too_o tedious_a god_n therefore_o and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o true_a bridegroom_n grant_v that_o we_o may_v be_v all_o make_v his_o true_a spouse_n and_o be_v

this_o sermon_n be_v end_v the_o master_n go_v into_o the_o temple_n dispatch_v divine_a service_n and_o administer_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n body_n to_o very_a many_o good_a man_n

he_o can_v best_o bear_v for_o he_o that_o be_v inquisitive_a to_o know_v from_o divers_a what_o be_v their_o exercise_n be_v wont_v for_o the_o most_o part_n to_o be_v deceive_v and_o lead_v away_o for_o each_o man_n tell_v his_o proper_a exercise_n when_o he_o will_v fain_o follow_v and_o imitate_v no_o regard_n be_v have_v of_o his_o own_o strength_n it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o he_o be_v

he_o persist_v in_o the_o use_n of_o they_o be_v pernicious_a and_o destructive_a and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o devil_n very_o oft_o be_v wont_v with_o false_a suggestion_n to_o persuade_v man_n who_o he_o see_v to_o be_v of_o a_o weak_a nature_n and_o constitution_n to_o take_v upon_o they_o the_o most_o strict_a and_o rigid_a exercise_n to_o this_o end_n that_o either_o thereby_o they_o may_v shorten_v their_o day_n or_o get_v a_o infirm_a and_o crazy_a brain_n which_o thing_n that_o you_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v i_o will_v tell_v you_o brief_o what_o happen_v to_o i_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o my_o conversion_n i_o do_v peruse_v as_o it_o happen_v at_o that_o time_n a_o book_n which_o in_o the_o german_a tongue_n treat_v of_o the_o life_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o when_o i_o mark_v each_o of_o they_o their_o austeir_n and_o strict_a manner_n of_o life_n i_o begin_v thus_o to_o think_v with_o myself_o these_o be_v man_n in_o this_o world_n aswell_o as_o thou_o and_o peradventure_o do_v never_o so_o grievous_o offend_v god_n as_o thou_o have_v do_v hereupon_o i_o have_v a_o great_a mind_n to_o imitate_v each_o of_o these_o saint_n in_o something_o or_o other_o with_o as_o severe_a and_o rigorous_a exercise_n whereby_o in_o a_o little_a time_n i_o contract_v such_o exceed_a weakness_n that_o i_o be_v even_o at_o the_o point_n of_o death_n but_o one_o day_n above_o the_o rest_n it_o happen_v that_o about_o sunrising_n have_v beyond_o measure_n continue_v my_o exercise_n that_o through_o exceed_a weakness_n and_o weariness_n even_o whilst_o i_o be_v at_o my_o exercise_n i_o fall_v fast_o asleep_a my_o thought_n in_o my_o sleep_n i_o hear_v a_o kind_n of_o voice_n say_v to_o i_o go_v to_o self-willed_a man_n if_o you_o kill_v yourself_o before_o your_o time_n you_o shall_v certain_o suffer_v for_o it_o most_o grievous_a punishment_n but_o if_o thou_o will_v suffer_v thyself_o to_o be_v exercise_v by_o god_n he_o will_v do_v it_o infinite_o better_a than_o thou_o thyself_o can_v do_v by_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o devil_n at_o these_o word_n especial_o at_o the_o name_n of_o the_o devil_n such_o a_o fear_n &_o terror_n seize_v one_o i_o that_o i_o sudden_o wake_v out_o of_o sleep_n and_z rising_z begin_v to_o think_v with_o myself_o that_o i_o have_v take_v up_o the_o foresay_a exercise_n rash_o and_o without_o advice_n wherefore_o immediate_o i_o hie_v i_o to_o a_o wood_n which_o be_v close_o by_o the_o place_n where_o i_o than_o be_v there_o i_o make_v my_o case_n know_v in_o order_n to_o a_o certain_a old_a hermit_n and_o entreat_v he_o that_o he_o will_v give_v i_o his_o advice_n the_o old_a man_n have_v hear_v i_o out_o give_v i_o this_o answer_n if_o thou_o will_v have_v i_o give_v thou_o counsel_n you_o must_v first_o tell_v i_o what_o the_o manner_n of_o your_o life_n have_v be_v and_o what_o have_v be_v your_o exercise_n i_o tell_v he_o as_o i_o be_v bid_v all_o my_o strict_a exercise_n and_o how_o i_o have_v read_v over_o the_o live_v of_o the_o saint_n and_o how_o i_o have_v a_o great_a mind_n to_o imitate_v they_o then_o he_o ask_v i_o by_o who_o advice_n do_v i_o do_v thus_o i_o confess_v to_o he_o that_o that_o which_o i_o have_v do_v i_o have_v do_v by_o no_o man_n advice_n but_o my_o own_o and_o out_o of_o my_o own_o will_n if_o so_o say_v he_o then_o take_v it_o for_o certain_a it_o be_v the_o devil_n counsel_n and_o therefore_o you_o have_v need_v to_o take_v great_a heed_n that_o you_o follow_v he_o no_o more_o but_o resign_v and_o give_v up_o yourself_o whole_o to_o god_n and_o he_o will_v exercise_v you_o far_o better_o than_o either_o you_o or_o the_o devil_n can_v therefore_o according_a to_o this_o old_a man_n advice_n i_o instant_o give_v over_o my_o exercise_n and_o do_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n give_v up_o myself_o whole_o to_o god_n and_o leave_v myself_o in_o his_o hand_n to_o exercise_v i_o as_o he_o think_v most_o fit_a true_o mr._n doctor_n i_o be_v
