both_o himself_o and_o his_o neighbour_n the_o sister_n demand_v good_a brother_n i_o pray_v you_o to_o show_v i_o what_o remedy_n there_o be_v against_o the_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n the_o brother_n answer_n my_o well-beloved_a sister_n in_o chryste_n jesu_n the_o best_a remedy_n for_o he_o that_o be_v yet_o sore_o vex_v &_o tempt_v with_o t_o vice_n and_o devyllysh_a temptacyon_n be_v this_o that_o the_o more_o he_o be_v tempt_v the_o more_o he_o takethe_v he_o in_o his_o prayer_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o worldly_a think_v do_v trouble_v your_o mind_n or_o entice_v and_o persuade_v you_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n wrongful_o by_o pure_a prayer_n &_o devoute_a watch_n it_o may_v soon_o be_v shake_v of_o and_o therefore_o when_o you_o pray_v be_v customable_o which_o it_o all_o devocyon_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o almyghty_a god_n that_o the_o temptacyon_n that_o be_v now_o at_o hand_n may_v the_o more_o easy_o be_v repel_v and_o overcom_v also_o good_a sister_n you_o shall_v understande_v that_o we_o must_v not_o only_o stryve_v against_o such_o devyllish_a temptacyon_n but_o also_o against_o y_fw-fr â—_o vice_n of_o the_o foul_a filthy_a &_o stink_v flesh_n why_o so_o for_o y_o e_o flesh_n do_v covet_v against_o the_o spiryte_n &_o the_o spirit_n v._o against_o the_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v so_o contyne_v which_o in_o prayer_n that_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n we_o may_v overcome_v such_o suggestyon_n such_o carnal_a desire_n &_o devyl_o she_o temptacyon_n for_o contynuall_a prayer_n do_v quench_v &_o debate_v such_o vycyous_a impugnacyon_n contynuall_a prayer_n do_v surmount_v &_o overcome_v the_o devyls_n dart_n prayer_n be_v the_o head_n virtue_n against_o the_o assault_n of_o all_o temptacyon_n therefore_o good_a sister_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o by_o pure_a orason_a &_o prayer_n with_o holy_a watch_n you_o may_v overcome_v all_o diabolyke_a temptacyon_n but_o if_o you_o feel_v y_fw-fr â—_o molestiousnes_n of_o y_fw-es â—_o flesh_n if_o your_o flesh_n do_v yet_o prycke_n you_o if_o as_o yet_o y_fw-fr â—_o remembrance_n of_o carnal_a delectation_n do_v trouble_v you_o if_o your_o flesh_n do_v veâ—e_v you_o if_o lechery_n do_v tempt_v you_o if_o delecration_n do_v ê“uoke_v you_o to_o sin_v call_v dethe_v to_o remembrance_n think_v upon_o y_fw-es e_fw-es ingement_fw-la y_z t_o be_v to_o come_v remember_v the_o torment_n &_o pain_n of_o hell_n the_o perpetual_a fire_n of_o hell_n &_o the_o horryble_a pain_n that_o be_v there_o for_o the_o remembrance_n of_o the_o hot_a burn_a fire_n of_o hell_n shall_v quinche_v the_o heat_n of_o all_o luxuriusnes_n and_o lychery_n ¶_o of_o dream_n the_o lvi_o ca_fw-mi my_o well-beloved_a sister_n harken_v unto_o i_o the_o wicked_a spiryte_n do_v oftentimes_o by_o night_n trouble_v man_n mind_n &_o understandynge_n with_o dyvers_a visyon_n and_o oftentimes_o they_o do_v manifest_o beat_v man_n body_n dream_n do_v chance_n after_o dyvers_a manner_n some_o by_o repletion_n and_o some_o chance_n as_o we_o know_v by_o experience_n by_o evacuatyon_n &_o some_o by_o thought_n for_o mooste_o commen_o of_o that_o thing_n that_o man_n thynk_v upon_o in_o the_o day_n he_o shall_v dream_v in_o the_o night_n and_o many_o dremes_n do_v chance_n by_o y_fw-es â—_o illusyon_n of_o the_o devyll_n as_o say_v solomon_n dream_n have_v cause_v many_o a_o 34._o one_o to_o err_v and_o they_o that_o have_v trust_v in_o they_o have_v be_v destrue_v there_o be_v certain_a visyon_n which_o be_v to_o be_v regard_v for_o they_o chance_v by_o godly_a revelation_n as_o we_o do_v rede_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n of_o joseph_n jacobs_n son_n the_o which_o through_o dream_n be_v prefer_v xli_o before_o all_o his_o brethren_n we_o do_v rede_n like_o wise_n of_o joseph_n husband_n two_o to_o our_o bless_a lady_n mother_n and_o maid_n the_o which_o in_o a_o dream_n be_v warn_v he_o shall_v flee_v which_o it_o the_o child_n into_o egypt_n sometime_o such_o vision_n be_v mingle_a w_n t_o cogitation_n &_o illusion_n or_o w_z t_z cogita_fw-la cyon_n &_o revelation_n as_o say_v daniel_n two_o he_o that_o open_v the_o mistress_n shall_v show_v thing_n y_o it_o be_v to_o come_v and_o notwithstanding_o y_fw-mi â—_o some_o of_o these_o dream_n be_v true_a yet_o we_o shall_v not_o lyght_o byleve_v they_o for_o they_o chance_v by_o dyvers_a imagination_n &_o we_o know_v not_o perfet_o from_o whence_o or_o by_o what_o mean_v they_o come_v and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v light_n of_o credence_n lest_o you_o â—_o the_o find_v tranfigure_v himself_o xi_o into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n &_o through_o our_o siplicite_a deceive_v us._n at_o sometime_o the_o fynde_n deceyve_v those_o that_o be_v curius_fw-la to_o take_v heed_n to_o dream_n &_o tell_v they_o the_o truth_n in_o some_o thing_n to_o deceyve_v they_o in_o many_o other_o and_o notwitstand_v such_o dream_n chance_v to_o be_v even_o so_o as_o they_o say_v yet_o man_n shall_v not_o byleve_v they_o lest_o they_o proceed_v of_o illusion_n as_o witness_v scripture_n sa_v if_o they_o tell_v you_o and_o it_o chance_v to_o be_v so_o yet_o byleve_v it_o not_o dream_n be_v liken_v unto_o augur_n the_o which_o do_v judge_n thing_n by_o the_o chatter_a and_o flight_n of_o bird_n and_o they_o that_o behold_v such_o thing_n be_v call_v auguriens_fw-la therefore_o man_n shall_v not_o byleve_v they_o notwithstanding_o they_o appear_v to_o be_v true_a they_o that_o trust_n in_o dremes_n or_o in_o these_o so_o the_o sayer_n have_v no_o trust_n in_o god_n &_o they_o be_v liken_v to_o he_o y_o it_o follow_v y_o e_o wind_n &_o to_o those_o y_o it_o go_v about_o to_o take_v a_o man_n shadow_n these_o so_o the_o sayngê_n be_v but_o lie_n dremes_n and_o deceytefulnesse_n we_o shall_v never_o believe_v dream_n lest_o they_o deceyve_v we_o let_v our_o hope_n be_v only_o fire_v in_o god_n and_o as_o for_o dremes_n let_v we_o not_o care_n for_o y_z e_z which_o thing_n be_v very_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n and_o therefore_o my_o good_a sister_n i_o exhort_v you_o that_o you_o put_v not_o your_o confidence_n in_o dremes_n but_o in_o almyghtye_a

and_o so_o althing_n both_o in_o this_o world_n and_o in_o time_n to_o come_v shall_v prosper_v with_o you_o of_o the_o
