long_o as_o he_o live_v for_o it_o be_v easy_a for_o we_o to_o slip_v into_o hell_n under_o the_o false_a appearance_n of_o heaven_n there_o be_v but_o two_o motive_n say_v the_o philosopher_n to_o

with_o any_o shadow_n of_o particular_a interest_n and_o levity_n of_o spirit_n the_o yoke_n of_o the_o lord_n become_v rough_a and_o insupportable_a how_o sweet_a and_o charm_a soever_o it_o be_v when_o we_o have_v no_o other_o end_n but_o the_o pure_a love_n of_o he_o wherefore_o we_o must_v consult_v with_o our_o conscience_n to_o make_v this_o distinction_n and_o know_v whether_o the_o

a_o little_a in_o the_o world_n for_o a_o cloister_n now_o to_o make_v a_o firm_a and_o solid_a judgement_n of_o the_o suspicion_n and_o scruple_n which_o may_v arise_v from_o such_o inspiration_n we_o may_v believe_v that_o the_o vocation_n be_v undoubted_o divine_a and_o that_o fervency_n and_o heat_n of_o devotion_n come_v perfect_o and_o pure_o from_o the_o holy_a ghost_n when_o a_o

the_o counsellor_n that_o we_o may_v be_v tempt_v to_o our_o perdition_n under_o a_o fair_a and_o false_a appearance_n of_o salvation_n and_o that_o the_o false_a motive_n of_o religion_n do_v

whether_o our_o intention_n be_v rather_o to_o please_v god_n by_o forsake_v the_o world_n then_o either_o to_o please_v ourselves_o or_o the_o first_o motion_n of_o our_o spirit_n and_o in_o fine_a whether_o ambition_n have_v any_o prevalency_n with_o we_o either_o to_o forward_o or_o hinder_v we_o and_o that_o since_o secular_a honour_n be_v so_o high_a that_o we_o have_v no_o hope_n to_o
