the_o divine_n baptisma_fw-la spiritus_fw-la the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n so_o do_v it_o also_o happen_v in_o this_o spiritual_a communion_n 3_o the_o three_o how_o we_o reap_v profit_n by_o receive_v christ_n into_o the_o holy_a desire_n of_o our_o soul_n it_o may_v be_v easy_o understand_v by_o the_o increase_n of_o love_n while_o i_o be_v muse_v say_v the_o prophet_n the_o fire_n kindle_v the_o elevation_n of_o the_o mind_n unto_o god_n do_v take_v we_o away_o from_o earthly_a affection_n and_o carry_v we_o unto_o he_o on_o who_o our_o desire_n be_v fix_v 4_o how_o acceptable_a this_o be_v unto_o god_n we_o all_o know_v he_o that_o accept_v the_o intention_n of_o abraham_n and_o say_v unto_o solomon_n because_o this_o be_v in_o thy_o heart_n do_v not_o only_o accept_v of_o our_o good_a desire_n to_o embrace_v he_o in_o the_o arm_n of_o our_o affection_n hut_a also_o do_v reward_v this_o desire_n as_o the_o deed_n do_v but_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o we_o must_v not_o only_o stay_v upon_o the_o desire_n of_o our_o will_n and_o receive_v christ_n spiritual_o but_o we_o must_v proceed_v far_o to_o receive_v he_o together_o both_o spiritual_o and_o sacramental_o for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o follow_v christ_n in_o our_o intention_n but_o we_o must_v also_o receive_v he_o in_o this_o holy_a mystery_n wherein_o we_o show_v reverence_n unto_o his_o bless_a institution_n and_o that_o we_o be_v become_v his_o temple_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v 1._o cor._n 6._o wherefore_o that_o we_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o so_o great_a a_o blessing_n as_o be_v our_o union_n with_o christ_n we_o may_v not_o omit_v this_o special_a part_n of_o our_o christian_a duty_n which_o he_o who_o will_v please_v god_n and_o proceed_v to_o the_o perfection_n of_o a_o christian_a life_n must_v often_o use_v that_o so_o he_o may_v go_v forward_o in_o all_o virtue_n and_o holiness_n of_o life_n yea_o even_o unto_o the_o end_n that_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n be_v give_v to_o the_o sick_a as_o necessary_a for_o the_o time_n of_o any_o visitation_n consider_v that_o among_o the_o effect_n of_o this_o heavenly_a sacrament_n that_o to_o be_v chee●ely_o

visitation_n or_o danger_n of_o death_n that_o they_o may_v be_v constant_a in_o the_o confession_n of_o christ_n and_o able_a to_o withstand_v the_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n 2_o consider_v that_o it_o also_o profit_v to_o attain_v the_o health_n of_o the_o body_n see_v it_o be_v so_o available_a to_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o soul_n for_o if_o at_o the_o only_a touch_n of_o christ_n garment_n many_o receive_a health_n what_o can_v christ_n himself_o do_v enter_v into_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o sick_a 3_o consider_v that_o christ_n foresee_v our_o conflict_n to_o come_v ordain_v this_o most_o holy_a sacrament_n for_o the_o spiritual_a help_n of_o our_o soul_n we_o must_v think_v by_o how_o great_a necessity_n we_o labour_v by_o so_o much_o this_o sacrament_n do_v exercise_v more_o effectual_o his_o wholesome_a effect_n see_v it_o be_v proper_a unto_o the_o lord_n to_o help_v more_o ready_o then_o when_o great_a necessity_n do_v require_v 4_o consider_v that_o here_o the_o distress_a either_o in_o body_n or_o mind_n may_v apply_v unto_o himself_o in_o particular_a the_o merit_n of_o christ_n passion_n and_o raise_v up_o himself_o by_o a_o comfortable_a

thou_o depart_v this_o world_n and_o by_o thy_o assistant_n help_v against_o the_o assault_n of_o satan_n who_o endeavour_v to_o draw_v thou_o away_o from_o the_o reward_n of_o life_n continue_v only_o a_o good_a will_n for_o all_o though_o thou_o be_v faint_a and_o feeble_a though_o thy_o enemy_n be_v many_o and_o mighty_a yet_o have_v receive_v divine_a strength_n thou_o shall_v say_v i_o
