their_o exterior_a action_n with_o a_o interior_a spirit_n &_o not_o to_o follow_v their_o own_o humour_n custom_n or_o sensuality_n but_o to_o render_v their_o action_n as_o i_o may_v say_v full_a

of_o what_o condition_n soever_o now_o it_o be_v in_o the_o ordinary_a action_n which_o every_o one_o in_o his_o state_n perform_v that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v mark_v out_o to_o we_o and_o

be_v very_o hard_a to_o very_o many_o soul_n to_o penetrate_v or_o even_o to_o conceive_v the_o great_a maxim_n of_o abnegation_n of_o relinquish_a all_o humane_a thing_n of_o interior_a silence_n of_o the_o passive_a state_n of_o the_o death_n to_o all_o that_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o loss_n &_o consummation_n of_o a_o soul_n in_o god_n but_o there_o be_v no_o soul_n how_o little_a soever_o
