when_o all_o this_o be_v do_v you_o must_v be_v in_o the_o profound_a humility_n that_o ever_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v in_o turn_v yourselves_o into_o the_o very_a dust_n from_o whence_o you_o come_v

blessed_n be_v the_o poor_a in_o spirit_n for_o they_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god._n and_o if_o you_o continue_v love_v the_o lord_n with_o all_o your_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o your_o soul_n with_o all_o your_o strength_n &_o with_o all_o your_o might_n but_o take_v notice_n i_o beseech_v you_o he_o must_v have_v all_o all_o your_o love_n and_o affection_n for_o if_o any_o thing_n else_o whatsoever_o have_v it_o beside_o the_o lord_n you_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o right_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o will_v stop_v the_o spring_n from_o flow_v from_o this_o endless_a fountain_n of_o

there_o stop_v all_o the_o out-going_n of_o your_o mind_n to_o any_o thing_n but_o to_o god_n alone_o and_o in_o silence_n hear_v what_o the_o lord_n say_v within_o you_o and_o with_o jesus_n depart_v
