unprofitable_a and_o hurtful_a to_o we_o but_o such_o as_o neither_o stand_n with_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n nor_o the_o good_a of_o our_o own_o soul_n and_o in_o these_o case_n no_o marvel_n if_o god_n answer_v not_o our_o petition_n we_o ought_v therefore_o to_o beg_v such_o thing_n as_o be_v fit_a for_o god_n to_o give_v and_o for_o we_o to_o receive_v and_o these_o be_v first_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a and_o second_o corporal_n and_o temporal_a 1._o the_o best_a of_o spiritual_a good_a thing_n be_v the_o summum_fw-la bonum_fw-la the_o chief_a good_a eternal_a blessedness_n which_o indeed_o be_v the_o epitomee_n of_o all_o good_a thing_n and_o consist_v in_o the_o fruition_n of_o the_o beatifical_a vision_n of_o god_n in_o his_o glory_n and_o kingdom_n 16.11_o psal_n 16.11_o there_o be_v other_o spirituall_n too_o that_o we_o may_v lawful_o pray_v for_o as_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n of_o which_o our_o saviour_n say_v this_o be_v life_n eternal_a 17.3_o jo._n 17.3_o that_o they_o may_v know_v thou_o the_o only_a true_a god_n and_o jesus_n christ_n who_o thou_o have_v send_v as_o also_o faith_n hope_n charity_n and_o all_o other_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n these_o good_a thing_n we_o may_v nay_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v earnest_o for_o 2._o corporal_a and_o temporal_a blessing_n be_v health_n of_o body_n deliverance_n from_o danger_n for_o food_n and_o sustenance_n peaceable_a time_n and_o many_o other_o of_o this_o nature_n and_o these_o may_v be_v lawful_o pray_v for_o yet_o not_o without_o condition_n for_o whereas_o many_o time_n they_o do_v more_o harm_n be_v obtain_v then_o good_a they_o must_v therefore_o be_v pray_v for_o with_o this_o limitation_n as_o far_o as_o they_o shall_v conduce_v to_o god_n glory_n and_o our_o own_o salvation_n but_o sure_o we_o many_o time_n ask_v those_o thing_n which_o stand_v in_o opposition_n to_o both_o these_o whereby_o it_o fall_v out_o that_o god_n will_v not_o hear_v we_o according_a to_o our_o will_n though_o he_o hear_v we_o for_o our_o good_a we_o be_v like_o little_a child_n many_o time_n that_o will_v even_o with_o tear_n beg_v of_o their_o father_n thing_n which_o may_v do_v they_o harm_n as_o knife_n and_o the_o like_a yet_o their_o father_n in_o discretion_n will_v not_o grant_v they_o so_o god_n who_o love_v we_o with_o great_a affection_n than_o any_o father_n love_v his_o child_n nay_o more_o than_o we_o love_v ourselves_o in_o his_o divine_a wisdom_n consult_v what_o be_v best_a for_o our_o good_a and_o deny_v we_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o foolish_o ask_v to_o our_o own_o detriment_n and_o in_o his_o fatherly_a affection_n and_o mercy_n grant_v those_o thing_n which_o he_o know_v needful_a and_o profitable_a for_o we_o see_v what_o saint_n bernard_n excellent_o say_v upon_o this_o subject_n quadrage_n detriplici_fw-la modo_fw-la orois_fw-fr serm_n 5._o in_o quadrage_n i_o believe_v say_v he_o that_o the_o petition_n of_o the_o

corporal_a be_v his_o aswell_o as_o spiritual_a therefore_o they_o be_v to_o be_v expect_v from_o he_o by_o prayer_n whereby_o we_o may_v be_v strengthen_v in_o his_o service_n yet_o we_o be_v to_o pray_v often_o and_o more_o fervent_o for_o the_o want_n of_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v to_o obtain_v god_n grace_n and_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o soul_n no_o less_o be_v we_o to_o do_v for_o eternal_a life_n where_o both_o soul_n and_o body_n will_v be_v in_o perfect_a bliss_n therefore_o in_o these_o three_o as_o they_o be_v petition_n of_o the_o heart_n we_o be_v to_o beware_v of_o these_o thing_n superfluity_n in_o the_o first_o impurity_n in_o the_o second_o and_o pride_n in_o the_o three_o for_o many_o time_n temporal_a thing_n be_v desire_v for_o pleasure_n virtue_n and_o

for_o these_o grace_n be_v so_o give_v only_o to_o confer_v this_o upon_o he_o to_o hope_v for_o great_a thing_n from_o that_o hand_n that_o bestow_v the_o other_o let_v therefore_o our_o prayer_n for_o temporall_n be_v restrain_v to_o necessary_n let_v that_o prayer_n which_o be_v make_v for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o soul_n be_v free_a from_o all_o inpurity_n and_o intent_n only_o to_o the_o

that_o be_v it_o not_o for_o god_n mercy_n and_o goodness_n we_o shall_v perish_v for_o ever_o we_o shall_v therefore_o as_o as_o often_o as_o we_o make_v our_o address_n to_o he_o by_o prayer_n

that_o duty_n but_o if_o when_o we_o set_v ourselves_o to_o prayer_n or_o other_o spiritual_a exercise_n we_o become_v carnal_a and_o suffer_v evil_a and_o foolish_a thought_n to_o possess_v our_o

nor_o can_v they_o receive_v any_o gracious_a answer_n from_o he_o for_o how_o can_v we_o conceive_v that_o god_n will_v hear_v we_o when_o we_o hear_v not_o ourselves_o will_v we_o have_v god_n mindful_a of_o we_o when_o we_o be_v not_o mindful_a of_o ourselves_o nor_o mind_n that_o we_o pray_v for_o and_o if_o we_o pray_v thus_o careless_o be_v it_o not_o expedient_a that_o god_n shall_v
