over_o my_o hart_n which_o forthwith_o drive_v out_o the_o cloud_n of_o all_o wicked_a cogitation_n whereby_o i_o do_v enjoy_v the_o long_a desire_a clearness_n of_o god_n his_o light_n because_o no_o unclean_a nor_o filthy_a thing_n can_v stand_v where_o he_o enter_v in_o 27_o for_o he_o love_v purity_n 8_o and_o be_v the_o ingraffer_n of_o the_o same_o so_o that_o of_o necessity_n all_o satanical_a illusion_n together_o with_o the_o pomp_n of_o this_o world_n must_v be_v pack_v therefore_o my_o passion_n and_o tentation_n which_o i_o do_v endure_v be_v supprise_v i_o begin_v both_o the_o more_o evident_o to_o know_v and_o the_o more_o earnest_o to_o love_n and_o the_o more_o hearty_o to_o praise_v he_o for_o vouchsafe_v at_o the_o length_n to_o beat_v back_o the_o damn_a crew_n of_o the_o wicked_a from_o assail_a i_o for_o they_o do_v disturb_v my_o peace_n and_o sin_n do_v so_o shut_v up_o my_o mouth_n that_o i_o be_o ashamed_a to_o speak_v unto_o my_o well-beloved_a but_o in_o vain_a do_v they_o bend_v themselves_o against_o his_o power_n and_o wisdom_n because_o even_o in_o a_o moment_n he_o can_v slide_v down_o into_o my_o hart_n and_o pour_v in_o secret_o good_a motion_n that_o i_o may_v both_o contemn_v and_o utterlie_o neglect_v all_o their_o privy_a whisper_n o_o my_o faithful_a and_o all_o happy_a friend_n take_v i_o so_o unto_o thou_o whensoever_o thou_o shall_v perceive_v my_o affection_n to_o be_v either_o press_v down_o at_o any_o time_n with_o the_o weight_n of_o sin_n or_o to_o be_v hold_v with_o unnecessary_a business_n that_o i_o may_v not_o wander_v far_o astray_o from_o thou_o after_o the_o swarm_n of_o wicked_a cogitation_n and_o so_o overhastelie_o be_v deprive_v of_o thy_o grace_n without_o which_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o enjoy_v thy_o friendship_n for_o thou_o be_v my_o lord_n and_o my_o god_n 10_o which_o by_o thy_o word_n do_v both_o heal_n and_o sanctify_v which_o hold_v my_o soul_n in_o life_n 9_o and_o suffer_v not_o my_o foot_n to_o slip_v but_o deliver_v i_o from_o the_o evil_a day_n and_o from_o the_o snare_n of_o death_n oah_n how_o many_o have_v be_v cast_v off_o and_o utterlie_o perish_v that_o have_v be_v much_o more_o innocent_a than_o i_o be_o and_o therefore_o my_o soul_n praise_v thou_o the_o lord_n and_o all_o that_o be_v within_o i_o bless_v his_o holy_a name_n 2_o my_o soul_n i_o say_v praise_v thou_o the_o lord_n and_o forget_v not_o all_o his_o benefit_n it_o be_v all_o too_o little_a and_o far_o unsufficient_a whatsoever_o thou_o shall_v either_o think_v or_o speak_v or_o promise_v to_o his_o praise_n for_o he_o exceed_v all_o praise_n and_o be_v much_o sweet_a than_o any_o music_n wherefore_o my_o soul_n cleave_v to_o thou_o alone_o and_o love_v thou_o above_o all_o other_o gift_n notwithstanding_o it_o be_v exceed_o beutifull_a and_o sweet_a which_o of_o mere_a good_a will_v thou_o have_v send_v unto_o i_o for_o thou_o alone_o be_v the_o spouse_n 15_o as_o for_o all_o thing_n else_o they_o be_v gift_n and_o argument_n of_o love_n in_o steed_n of_o thou_o i_o will_v not_o love_v they_o neither_o will_v i_o believe_v that_o any_o thing_n or_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n can_v suffice_v i_o if_o i_o have_v not_o thou_o for_o in_o so_o do_v i_o may_v perchance_o forgo_v thou_o with_o they_o too_o thou_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o use_v many_o thing_n for_o thy_o sake_n but_o i_o may_v not_o enjoy_v so_o much_o as_o one_o thing_n in_o thy_o steed_n 3_o and_o therefore_o o_o christ_n my_o sweet_a spouse_n i_o have_v prefer_v thou_o afore_o all_o other_o thing_n and_o my_o care_n have_v be_v above_o all_o thing_n to_o love_v thou_o wherefore_o grant_v that_o bless_o i_o may_v enjoy_v thou_o and_o in_o that_o union_n everlastinglie_o to_o triumph_v in_o happiness_n together_o with_o thou_o but_o how_o far_o be_o i_o come_v i_o have_v lengthen_v my_o speech_n more_o than_o perhaps_o you_o will_v but_o pardon_v i_o good_a friend_n for_o i_o have_v be_v carry_v aloft_o through_o the_o love_n of_o my_o especial_a and_o only_o friend_n and_o will_v to_o god_n it_o will_v please_v he_o still_o to_o lift_v up_o both_o i_o and_o you_o too_o in_o contemplation_n let_v he_o provide_v a_o heavenly_a ascension_n but_o let_v we_o not_o keep_v a_o base_a go_v down_o m._n ask_v you_o i_o whether_o i_o be_o forsake_v at_o any_o time_n of_o my_o beloved_a s._n yea_o i_o say_v so_o m._n but_o how_o do_v you_o behave_v yourself_o in_o trouble_n s._n i_o take_v all_o thing_n as_o patient_o as_o i_o can_v expect_v his_o come_n naturalie_n i_o be_o grieve_v but_o as_o touch_v my_o spirit_n i_o have_v inward_a patience_n that_o my_o grief_n prove_v not_o incurable_a for_o i_o forget_v not_o how_o he_o that_o love_v live_v in_o pain_n i_o live_v by_o faith_n 17_o i_o believe_v the_o holy_a scripture_n i_o give_v credit_n to_o the_o word_n of_o comfort_n and_o although_o i_o endure_v affliction_n yet_o i_o doubt_v not_o neither_o in_o

thing_n but_o the_o spirit_n notwithstanding_o be_v ready_a to_o sustain_v whatsoever_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v i_o shall_v endure_v 38_o if_o therefore_o i_o shall_v be_v less_o zealous_a and_o less_o willing_a to_o do_v good_a my_o punishment_n shall_v be_v the_o more_o grevous_a though_o he_o slay_v i_o say_v the_o wiseman_n 15_o yet_o will_v i_o trust_v in_o he_o if_o i_o love_v virtue_n patience_n be_v a_o great_a virtue_n therefore_o let_v patience_n evermore_o be_v retain_v for_o the_o more_o praise_n we_o purchase_v the_o more_o pain_n we_o take_v in_o bring_v thing_n to_o pass_v
