A76384	A bright starre, leading to, & centering in, Christ our perfection. Or a manuell, entituled by the authour thereof, the third part of the Rule of perfection Wherein such profound mysteries are revealed, such mysterious imperfections discovered, with their perfect cures prescribed, as have not been by any before published in the English tongue: faithfully translated for the common good.; Règle de perfection.

it_o as_o a_o serpent_n and_o to_o welcome_v it_o as_o a_o desire_a good_a above_o all_o it_o be_v chief_o remarkable_a that_o to_o find_v christ_n in_o his_o passion_n in_o we_o we_o must_v see_v nothing_o but_o dolour_n and_o affliction_n for_o he_o that_o shall_v seek_v yea_o or_o entertain_v sensible_a comfort_n shall_v open_v a_o free_a passage_n to_o illusion_n let_v therefore_o all_o our_o pain_n and_o tribulation_n be_v welcome_v not_o as_o cross_n but_o as_o jesus_n christ_n let_v he_o be_v consider_v and_o behold_v as_o crucify_v in_o we_o let_v all_o our_o sorrow_n affliction_n and_o evil_n whatsoever_o of_o body_n or_o of_o soul_n be_v cast_v into_o the_o burn_a furnace_n and_o flame_n of_o the_o torment_n of_o jesus_n where_o they_o may_v be_v all_o consummate_a and_o unite_a to_o his_o sorrow_n so_o may_v we_o true_o say_v with_o the_o apostle_n i_o be_o crucify_v with_o christ_n and_o follow_v his_o exhortation_n let_v this_o mind_n be_v in_o you_o which_o be_v also_o in_o christ_n jesus_n nor_o let_v any_o turn_v it_o to_o presumption_n thus_o to_o know_v &_o behold_v god_n in_o our_o pain_n but_o rather_o let_v he_o see_v how_o that_o the_o inventory_n of_o all_o virtue_n be_v enfold_v therein_o which_o truth_n itself_o accompany_v and_o confirm_v and_o first_o a_o perfect_a self-denial_n here_o show_v itself_o which_o not_o only_o constrain_v a_o man_n set_v aside_o all_o self-seeking_a to_o bear_v patient_o affliction_n reproach_n and_o bitterness_n but_o also_o to_o welcome_v they_o joyful_o &_o to_o accept_v they_o as_o high_a favour_n there_o appear_v also_o in_o that_o soul_n a_o invincible_a faithfulness_n towards_o her_o celestial_a bridegroom_n inasmuch_o as_o she_o acknowledge_v he_o not_o only_o in_o himself_o but_o also_o in_o his_o creature_n embrace_v he_o in_o the_o thicket_n of_o thorny_a affliction_n in_o littleness_n look_v up_o to_o greatness_n and_o adore_v he_o in_o reproach_n and_o forlornnesse_n and_o now_o i_o say_v what_o a_o wondrous_a resignation_n be_v find_v in_o this_o practice_n where_o the_o cup_n be_v thus_o receive_v what_o unconquerednesse_n where_o it_o be_v thus_o sup_v off_o what_o a_o patience_n in_o this_o endurance_n what_o undismaidnesse_n in_o thus_o cast_v herself_o among_o the_o thorn_n what_o a_o flame_n of_o love_n where_o thus_o she_o head-longs_a herself_o into_o the_o furnace_n of_o tribulation_n what_o a_o strange_a constancy_n in_o thus_o refuse_v to_o go_v forth_o yea_o annihilate_v herself_o that_o god_n may_v be_v exalt_v in_o her_o heart_n as_o it_o be_v say_v man_n shall_v go_v to_o a_o high_a mind_n and_o god_n shall_v be_v exalt_v and_o last_o where_o that_o christ_n may_v live_v the_o soul_n choose_v to_o die_v as_o they_o that_o say_v we_o receive_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n within_o ourselves_o nor_o can_v presumption_n take_v any_o place_n in_o we_o because_o there_o we_o discern_v the_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n for_o before_o we_o can_v so_o discern_v he_o we_o must_v be_v as_o far_o estrange_v from_o ourselves_o as_o from_o all_o other_o thing_n by_o a_o absolute_a self-denial_n and_o by_o hearty_a embrace_v of_o bitterness_n and_o affliction_n nor_o can_v we_o there_o think_v ourselves_o to_o be_v any_o thing_n because_o of_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n who_o we_o behold_v within_o we_o notwithstanding_o though_o i_o take_v this_o practice_n for_o the_o more_o perfect_a yet_o since_o divers_a man_n have_v divers_a devotion_n i_o will_v not_o tie_v all_o sort_n of_o soul_n to_o this_o way_n especial_o those_o that_o stand_v not_o yet_o in_o high_a favour_n in_o the_o godhead_n though_o otherwise_o they_o have_v grow_v up_o in_o spiritual_a life_n for_o such_o can_v perfect_o discern_v how_o god_n be_v in_o their_o affliction_n there_o be_v also_o some_o event_n wherein_o it_o be_v requisite_a to_o behold_v the_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n in_o himself_o as_o when_o no_o occasion_n present_v itself_o of_o behold_v his_o passion_n in_o ourselves_o neither_o by_o affliction_n bitterness_n nor_o any_o contradiction_n for_o though_o a_o illuminate_v man_n can_v hardly_o want_v occasion_n to_o practice_v it_o in_o himself_o sometime_o by_o acceptation_n of_o bitterness_n sometime_o by_o refuse_v of_o pleasure_n bodily_a or_o spiritual_a yet_o sometime_o it_o happen_v that_o either_o no_o such_o be_v present_v or_o else_o it_o be_v so_o little_a and_o almost_o of_o no_o moment_n that_o it_o beat_v scarce_o any_o or_o no_o impression_n in_o the_o soul_n so_o that_o the_o passion_n of_o jesus_n christ_n can_v be_v discern_v in_o she_o also_o in_o make_v a_o long_a prayer_n for_o then_o such_o flood_n of_o divine_a influence_n stream_n into_o the_o soul_n that_o all_o sense_n of_o affliction_n contradiction_n &_o bitterness_n be_v spend_v &_o no_o impression_n of_o they_o leave_v in_o the_o soul_n so_o that_o she_o can_v see_v the_o passion_n in_o herself_o last_o the_o passion_n of_o christ_n can_v be_v see_v in_o ourselves_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v so_o sublime_o raise_v and_o find_v the_o passion_n so_o perfect_o in_o herself_o that_o she_o can_v but_o behold_v that_o passion_n which_o christ_n suffer_v in_o she_o and_o that_o which_o he_o suffer_v in_o himself_o to_o be_v but_o only_o one_o for_o than_o she_o see_v his_o pain_n sometime_o in_o himself_o sometime_o in_o herself_o without_o difference_n eftsoon_o also_o almost_o all_o the_o station_n of_o the_o passion_n at_o once_o without_o multiplicity_n a_o matter_n of_o high_a moment_n yet_o nothing_o let_v by_o variety_n of_o the_o form_n because_o she_o see_v god_n alone_o in_o they_o all_o chap._n xix_o what_o this_o image_n ought_v to_o be_v and_o how_o it_o be_v to_o be_v behold_v now_o come_v we_o to_o see_v what_o a_o one_o this_o image_n ought_v to_o be_v whereunder_o we_o behold_v the_o passion_n and_o first_o i_o say_v if_o it_o be_v the_o image_n of_o the_o pain_n of_o christ_n our_o lord_n himself_o it_o need_v not_o be_v universal_a i_o mean_v of_o the_o whole_a passion_n but_o of_o some_o particular_a part_n thereof_o that_o so_o it_o may_v bide_v print_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o imagination_n without_o which_o impression_n it_o fall_v from_o the_o memory_n and_o so_o must_v that_o contemplation_n which_o depend_v thereon_o but_o if_o that_o image_n be_v of_o his_o pain_n in_o we_o then_o may_v it_o well_o be_v universal_a of_o all_o the_o dolour_n and_o affliction_n inasmuch_o as_o the_o impression_n of_o our_o feel_n make_v we_o always_o remember_v they_o yet_o chief_o we_o be_v to_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o the_o heavy_a of_o they_o for_o there_o will_v jesus_n show_v himself_o most_o because_o we_o there_o find_v ourselves_o least_o beside_o if_o we_o deal_v with_o the_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n in_o himself_o it_o must_v be_v imaginary_a but_o if_o we_o behold_v it_o as_o it_o be_v in_o ourselves_o it_o be_v not_o then_o to_o be_v imagine_v but_o behold_v just_o such_o as_o we_o real_o feel_v in_o ourselves_o but_o whether_o of_o the_o two_o soever_o it_o be_v we_o must_v neither_o add_v nor_o detract_v one_o jot_n from_o the_o form_n thereof_o but_o without_o the_o least_o alteration_n to_o receive_v the_o same_o exact_o as_o it_o offer_v itself_o where_o many_o err_v long_v to_o change_v they_o both_o into_o another_o more_o exquisite_a sublime_a and_o godlike_a despise_v as_o it_o be_v that_o simple_a and_o naked_a form_n of_o christ_n crucify_v that_o first_o present_v itself_o to_o the_o eye_n as_o too_o base_a earthly_a corporeal_a and_o have_v almost_o nothing_o divine_a or_o excellent_a therein_o where_o flat_a contrary_n the_o more_o vile_a and_o forlorn_a the_o image_n or_o form_n be_v whereunder_o we_o behold_v the_o almighty_a crucify_a the_o more_o stupendous_a will_v the_o mystery_n appear_v and_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o high_o raise_v which_o be_v most_o remarkable_a the_o same_o i_o say_v also_o of_o that_o form_n which_o be_v in_o ourselves_o not_o by_o imagination_n but_o by_o taste_v of_o sorrow_n heaviness_n and_o bitterness_n bodily_a or_o spiritual_a that_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o rest_v therein_o content_a neither_o alter_v it_o by_o our_o own_o industry_n nor_o languish_v to_o have_v it_o change_v into_o another_o form_n by_o infusion_n of_o any_o sweetness_n or_o consolation_n where_o many_o deceive_v themselves_o who_o toss_v with_o the_o wave_n of_o unfaithfulnesse_n &_o sensuality_n seem_v to_o say_v to_o our_o lord_n if_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n command_v that_o these_o stone_n of_o hard_a affliction_n be_v make_v bread_n of_o comfort_n in_o this_o hunt_n for_o comfort_n appear_v seansuality_n in_o say_v if_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o
