of_o the_o day_n the_o author_n institution_n contain_v in_o three_o point_n wherein_o we_o learn_v how_o to_o forsake_v ourselves_o and_o to_o put_v on_o god_n by_o a_o most_o perfect_a way_n the_o first_o be_v that_o every_o man_n aspire_v to_o attain_v unto_o a_o more_o excellent_a degree_n of_o sanctity_n and_o singular_a embrace_v of_o god_n by_o love_n also_o that_o he_o love_v god_n with_o all_o the_o power_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o his_o neighbour_n as_o himself_o and_o that_o he_o desire_v to_o feel_v god_n true_o work_v in_o himself_o in_o this_o world_n such_o a_o one_o ought_v both_o to_o extinguish_v and_o also_o to_o have_v extinguish_v in_o he_o all_o delight_n and_o pleasure_n breed_v by_o such_o mortal_a creature_n as_o be_v without_o god_n of_o what_o sort_n soever_o they_o be_v the_o second_o be_v that_o every_o one_o both_o in_o this_o world_n and_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v desire_v to_o attain_v to_o the_o perfect_a knowledge_n of_o truth_n and_o that_o he_o prepare_v and_o contain_v himself_o inward_o from_o be_v delight_v in_o any_o sort_n spiritual_o with_o any_o thing_n which_o he_o may_v challenge_v claim_v or_o possess_v as_o his_o own_o or_o as_o proper_a to_o himself_o the_o three_o thing_n be_v that_o after_o a_o man_n be_v perfect_o and_o whole_o both_o inward_o and_o outward_o free_v from_o adhere_v to_o any_o thing_n and_o have_v learned_a to_o rely_v upon_o his_o own_o nothing_o but_o then_o instant_o he_o have_v a_o ready_a and_o free_a passage_n to_o the_o pure_a and_o simple_a good_a that_o almighty_a and_o most_o excellent_a god_n but_o this_o conversation_n be_v wrought_v by_o a_o certain_a essential_a way_n or_o mean_n for_o here_o the_o spirit_n be_v turn_v to_o god_n not_o in_o part_n but_o whole_o and_o entire_o whence_o this_o be_v say_v not_o only_o to_o be_v but_o be_v a_o true_a essential_a entire_a and_o individed_a and_o perfect_a conversion_n for_o it_o be_v not_o withdraw_v any_o whither_o from_o itself_o and_o therefore_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v essential_a and_o god_n himself_o do_v ever_o answer_v it_o essential_o perfection_n in_o the_o first_o second_o three_o and_o four_o degree_n he_o be_v true_o and_o proper_o perfect_a in_o the_o first_o degree_n who_o turn_v his_o whole_a mind_n orderly_o and_o discreet_o away_o from_o all_o visible_a and_o transitory_a thing_n in_o the_o second_o degree_n who_o have_v obtain_v a_o peaceable_a and_o quiet_a conscience_n in_o the_o three_o degree_n who_o take_v all_o thing_n in_o good_a part_n from_o god_n hand_n and_o resign_v himself_o whole_o to_o he_o in_o the_o four_o degree_n he_o who_o forget_v himself_o and_o all_o creature_n do_v lose_v himself_o in_o god_n he_o that_o of_o virtue_n make_v the_o true_a gain_n seek_v not_o reward_n but_o labour_n for_o his_o pain_n in_o war_n that_o i_o be_o undertake_v against_o myself_o my_o force_n do_v spend_v i_o sith_o with_o myself_o war_v i_o be_o make_v o_o from_o myself_o then_o god_n defend_v i_o the_o communication_n of_o doctor_n thaulerus_n with_o a_o poor_a beggar_n wherein_o be_v comprehend_v the_o example_n of_o a_o perfect_a man_n and_o how_o we_o shall_v resign_v ourselves_o in_o all_o thing_n unto_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n there_o be_v on_o a_o time_n a_o great_a divine_a who_o pray_v unto_o god_n the_o space_n of_o eight_o year_n that_o it_o may_v be_v his_o good_a pleasure_n to_o direct_v he_o to_o a_o man_n that_o may_v instruct_v and_o teach_v he_o the_o true_a way_n of_o virtue_n and_o it_o happen_v be_v in_o this_o desire_n that_o he_o hear_v a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n which_o say_v unto_o he_o go_v unto_o such_o a_o church-porch_n and_o there_o thou_o shall_v find_v a_o man_n that_o will_v instruct_v thou_o in_o the_o spiritual_a life_n he_o walk_v then_o towards_o the_o say_a church_n find_v a_o poor_a beggar_n who_o have_v his_o foot_n filthy_a and_o foul_a and_o all_o naked_a who_o clothes_n be_v
