shall_v we_o complete_a our_o lend_a exercise_n by_o join_v the_o mortification_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o that_o of_o the_o flesh_n without_o which_o the_o great_a austerity_n wherewith_o we_o can_v afflict_v the_o latter_a will_v not_o be_v such_o a_o fast_a as_o god_n have_v choose_v for_o what_o will_v it_o avail_v to_o macerate_v the_o body_n while_o the_o principal_a part_n the_o soul_n

the_o friend_n of_o god_n thus_o then_o let_v we_o accomplish_v the_o refining_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o fill_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o mortification_n to_o which_o end_n let_v we_o add_v
