have_v any_o experience_n will_v find_v that_o every_o word_n of_o this_o which_o i_o have_v say_v be_v literal_o certain_a and_o i_o bless_v almighty_a god_n for_o enable_v i_o to_o declare_v it_o as_o i_o have_v do_v and_o now_o i_o end_v this_o part_n of_o the_o discourse_n with_o say_v that_o i_o think_v when_o such_o word_n proceed_v from_o our_o own_o understanding_n we_o may_v easy_o come_v to_o know_v it_o if_o we_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o it_o and_o every_o time_n that_o we_o be_v in_o prayer_n we_o shall_v conceive_v that_o we_o understand_v they_o but_o in_o this_o other_o kind_n of_o word_n or_o speech_n it_o be_v not_o so_o for_o it_o will_v be_v many_o day_n wherein_o though_o i_o shall_v desire_v to_o understand_v somewhat_o of_o that_o kind_n it_o will_v be_v absolute_o impossible_a and_o when_o at_o other_o time_n i_o have_v no_o thought_n that_o way_n i_o must_v yet_o understand_v it_o as_o i_o have_v say_v and_o i_o think_v that_o whosoever_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o deceive_v other_o affirm_v himself_o to_o understand_v that_o from_o almighty_a god_n which_o be_v from_o himself_o may_v as_o well_o and_o it_o will_v cost_v he_o as_o little_a affirm_v that_o he_o hear_v it_o with_o his_o ear_n and_o it_o be_v a_o most_o certain_a and_o real_a truth_n that_o for_o my_o part_n i_o never_o think_v that_o there_o be_v any_o other_o way_n then_o that_o for_o the_o hear_n and_o understand_v any_o thing_n till_o i_o find_v in_o my_o own_o case_n that_o this_o which_o i_o have_v now_o deliver_v be_v true_a and_o it_o have_v cost_v i_o as_o i_o say_v much_o trouble_n when_o these_o thing_n proceed_v of_o the_o devil_n they_o do_v not_o only_o not_o work_v any_o good_a effect_n but_o leave_v also_o very_o ill_o one_o behind_o they_o but_o this_o have_v not_o happen_v to_o i_o above_o twice_o or_o thrice_o and_o i_o have_v instant_o be_v advertise_v by_o our_o lord_n that_o they_o be_v of_o the_o devil_n and_o beside_o the_o great_a dryness_n which_o they_o leave_v behind_o they_o they_o also_o give_v the_o soul_n much_o disquiet_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o those_o many_o other_o time_n when_o our_o lord_n have_v permit_v i_o to_o have_v great_a temptation_n and_o trouble_n of_o soul_n in_o different_a kind_n and_o that_o i_o shall_v often_o be_v torment_v as_o i_o will_v declare_v hereafter_o but_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a kind_n of_o disquiet_n of_o which_o we_o know_v not_o how_o to_o understand_v from_o whence_o it_o come_v but_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o soul_n resist_v it_o and_o be_v put_v into_o great_a disorder_n by_o it_o and_o be_v afflict_v without_o know_v for_o what_o in_o regard_n that_o the_o devil_n say_v that_o such_o or_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v not_o ill_o but_o good_a i_o conceive_v that_o if_o one_o spirit_n may_v be_v able_a to_o find_v and_o feel_v another_o the_o gust_n and_o delight_n which_o this_o diabolical_a spirit_n give_v be_v different_a in_o my_o opinion_n from_o the_o other_o after_o a_o most_o evident_a manner_n the_o devil_n may_v well_o deceive_v some_o such_o person_n by_o give_v he_o gust_n as_o never_o receive_v any_o before_o from_o almighty_a god_n for_o these_o latter_a be_v gust_n indeed_o which_o import_v a_o sweet_a strong_a well-imprinted_n quiet_a delightful_a kind_n of_o pleasure_n and_o joy_n for_o as_o for_o those_o little_a pretty_a devotion_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o certain_a other_o slight_a feeling_n which_o be_v like_o little_a young_a flower_n that_o be_v shake_v off_o and_o lose_v upon_o the_o least_o little_a wind_n of_o persecution_n i_o do_v not_o call_v they_o devotion_n though_o yet_o they_o be_v good_a beginning_n and_o holy_a motion_n but_o no_o way_n sufficient_a to_o determine_v whether_o the_o effect_n proceed_v from_o a_o good_a spirit_n or_o a_o bad_a and_o therefore_o it_o will_v be_v very_o necessary_a to_o walk_v in_o this_o kind_n of_o thing_n with_o huge_a caution_n for_o such_o person_n as_o shall_v not_o have_v proceed_v further_o in_o prayer_n than_o thus_o far_o may_v easy_o grow_v to_o be_v deceive_v if_o they_o fall_v out_o to_o have_v vision_n or_o revelation_n for_o my_o part_n i_o never_o have_v of_o these_o last_o till_o god_n through_o his_o own_o only_o goodness_n give_v i_o prayer_n of_o union_n unless_o it_o be_v that_o first_o time_n whereof_o i_o speak_v and_o it_o happen_v to_o i_o many_o year_n ago_o when_o i_o see_v christ_n our_o lord_n and_o i_o will_v to_o god_n it_o have_v please_v his_o divine_a majesty_n that_o i_o have_v understand_v at_o that_o time_n that_o it_o be_v a_o true_a vision_n as_o i_o understand_v it_o to_o be_v afterward_o for_o it_o will_v not_o have_v be_v of_o small_a advantage_n to_o i_o but_o now_o upon_o these_o illusion_n of_o the_o devil_n there_o never_o grow_v any_o sweetness_n or_o softness_n and_o suppleness_n to_o the_o soul_n but_o she_o remain_v as_o if_o she_o be_v fright_v and_o with_o much_o disgust_n and_o i_o hold_v it_o for_o very_o certain_a that_o almighty_a god_n will_v never_o permit_v the_o devil_n to_o deceive_v any_o soul_n which_o put_v no_o confidence_n at_o all_o in_o herself_o and_o which_o be_v fortify_v in_o the_o right_a faith_n and_o resolve_v thus_o much_o for_o her_o part_n that_o she_o will_v die_v a_o thousand_o death_n for_o the_o least_o article_n thereof_o and_o who_o together_o with_o this_o love_n and_o faith_n be_v infuse_v into_o the_o soul_n by_o almighty_a god_n which_o be_v a_o livelie_a and_o strong_a faith_n indeed_o procure_v always_o to_o go_v in_o conformity_n with_o that_o which_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n inform_v herself_o further_o by_o several_a way_n as_o a_o person_n who_o be_v strong_o seat_v in_o this_o truth_n that_o all_o the_o imaginable_a revelation_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n no_o not_o if_o she_o shall_v see_v the_o very_a heaven_n open_v themselves_o can_v make_v she_o vary_v in_o the_o least_o point_n from_o the_o doctrine_n and_o decree_n of_o the_o say_a church_n but_o if_o she_o once_o come_v so_o far_o as_o but_o to_o shake_v or_o waver_v even_o in_o one_o single_a thought_n against_o this_o or_o entertain_v herself_o so_o far_o as_o to_o say_v but_o now_o if_o god_n himself_o say_v thus_o to_o i_o as_o he_o have_v say_v such_o other_o thing_n to_o saint_n this_o may_v also_o be_v true_a i_o say_v not_o that_o she_o believe_v it_o but_o that_o the_o devil_n begin_v to_o tempt_v she_o by_o this_o motion_n and_o that_o she_o be_v content_a to_o continue_v herself_o a_o little_a therein_o a_o body_n may_v see_v already_o that_o this_o be_v stark_o naught_o but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o believe_v that_o many_o time_n even_o these_o other_o first_o motion_n will_v hardly_o ever_o come_v so_o far_o as_o even_o but_o to_o set_v upon_o such_o a_o soul_n if_o she_o be_v already_o so_o strong_a as_o our_o bless_a lord_n be_v wont_a to_o have_v make_v such_o as_o to_o who_o he_o use_v to_o impart_v these_o favour_n for_o i_o think_v she_o may_v be_v able_a to_o tear_v those_o devil_n even_o to_o fitter_n whensoever_o there_o may_v be_v question_n of_o any_o one_o single_a little_a truth_n which_o the_o church_n hold_v i_o say_v that_o if_o the_o soul_n do_v not_o find_v such_o a_o strength_n as_o this_o in_o herself_o and_o that_o the_o devotion_n or_o vision_n which_o she_o have_v do_v not_o assist_v and_o help_v her-on_a therein_o let_v she_o not_o hold_v any_o such_o vision_n for_o safe_a because_o though_o the_o hurt_n of_o it_o be_v not_o instant_o understand_v it_o may_v perhaps_o grow_v by_o little_a and_o little_a to_o be_v great_a for_o to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o what_o i_o can_v discern_v and_o know_v by_o experience_n the_o reputation_n and_o credit_n that_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v settle_v and_o assure_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o that_o it_o also_o go_v in_o conformity_n to_o holy_a scripture_n and_o when_o it_o shall_v be_v find_v to_o vary_v from_o this_o rule_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o little_a i_o think_v i_o shall_v be_v then_o much_o more_o sure_a without_o comparison_n that_o it_o be_v of_o the_o devil_n than_o now_o i_o have_v assurance_n that_o it_o be_v of_o almighty_a god_n how_o great_a soever_o i_o may_v find_v that_o assurance_n to_o be_v for_o in_o that_o case_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o need_n at_o all_o to_o go_v in_o search_n after_o sign_n nor_o to_o inquire_v of_o what_o spirit_n it_o be_v since_o this_o be_v so_o clear_a a_o sign_n to_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v of_o the_o devil_n that_o if_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v endeavour_v to_o assure_v i_o that_o it_o be_v of_o god_n i_o will_v not_o believe_v it_o
thing_n for_o by_o mean_n of_o such_o blessing_n as_o these_o do_v our_o lord_n impart_v that_o fortitude_n to_o we_o which_o we_o lose_v by_o our_o sin_n and_o he_o shall_v but_o unlucky_o desire_v and_o exhort_v a_o man_n to_o despise_v and_o abhor_v the_o world_n and_o encourage_v he_o to_o acquire_v all_o those_o great_a virtue_n which_o christian_n of_o high_a perfection_n use_v to_o

he_o for_o natural_o we_o be_v so_o very_o dead_a that_o we_o look_v not_o after_o any_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o we_o see_v at_o the_o present_a and_o so_o these_o very_a favour_n be_v the_o thing_n which_o awake_v &_o strengthen_v our_o faith_n i_o say_v not_o but_o that_o it_o may_v very_o well_o be_v that_o i_o be_v so_o very_o wicked_a be_o apt_a to_o judge_v of_o other_o by_o myself_o &_o that_o those_o other_o may_v need_v no_o more_o than_o the_o very_a light_n and_o truth_n of_o faith_n for_o the_o make_v their_o work_n very_o perfect_a but_o i_o as_o very_o miserable_a

whilst_o i_o be_o live_v to_o the_o end_n that_o even_o now_o i_o may_v deceive_v the_o world_n no_o long_o which_o else_o perhaps_o may_v think_v that_o there_o be_v some_o good_a thing_n in_o i_o

also_o do_v in_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n and_o we_o will_v needs_o make_v ourselves_o believe_v that_o we_o must_v tax_v even_o our_o own_o profit_n in_o spirit_n according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o time_n wherein_o we_o have_v have_v any_o exercise_n of_o prayer_n nay_o it_o seem_v that_o we_o have_v have_v a_o mind_n to_o put_v a_o tax_n and_o limit_n upon_o he_o who_o by_o no_o mean_n will_v be_v subject_a to_o any_o when_o there_o be_v question_n of_o impart_v his_o favour_n which_o he_o be_v wont_a to_o dispose_v when_o he_o will_v and_o who_o can_v impart_v more_o benediction_n to_o one_o in_o six_o month_n then_o to_o another_o in_o a_o great_a multitude_n of_o year_n and_o this_o be_v a_o most_o certain_a truth_n which_o i_o have_v see_v so_o express_o verify_v even_o with_o my_o very_a eye_n upon_o the_o instance_n of_o many_o person_n that_o i_o wonder_v how_o we_o can_v so_o much_o as_o detain_v ourselves_o in_o the_o least_o doubt_n thereof_o but_o i_o be_o very_o apt_a to_o believe_v that_o a_o man_n who_o have_v any_o talon_n in_o try_v and_o know_v spirit_n and_o to_o who_o our_o bless_a lord_n shall_v have_v give_v true_a humility_n will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o fall_v and_o continue_v in_o this_o error_n for_o such_o a_o man_n will_v judge_v of_o thing_n by_o the_o effect_n and_o by_o the_o strong_a purpose_n and_o firm_a resolution_n and_o love_n of_o the_o party_n who_o be_v chief_o concern_v and_o beside_o our_o lord_n be_v wont_a to_o give_v such_o a_o person_n light_n whereby_o he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o understand_v it_o and_o by_o that_o very_a light_n he_o also_o discern_v the_o profit_v and_o proceed_v forward_o of_o soul_n and_o not_o by_o the_o number_n of_o year_n wherein_o they_o have_v attend_v to_o these_o thing_n because_o some_o one_o soul_n may_v as_o i_o say_v before_o have_v obtain_v that_o in_o six_o month_n which_o another_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v able_a to_o get_v in_o twenty_o year_n for_o as_o i_o say_v also_o before_o our_o lord_n bestow_v those_o thing_n to_o who_o he_o will_v and_o common_o he_o do_v it_o to_o such_o as_o dispose_v themselves_o best_a to_o receive_v they_o and_o in_o proof_n hereof_o i_o see_v that_o there_o come_v now_o to_o this_o house_n of_o we_o certain_a gentlewoman_n and_o lady_n who_o be_v very_o young_a and_o yet_o when_o our_o bless_a lord_n vouchsafe_v once_o to_o touch_v their_o heart_n and_o to_o give_v they_o a_o little_a light_n and_o love_n and_o when_o in_o a_o very_a short_a time_n he_o be_v please_v to_o allow_v and_o impart_v some_o regalo_n and_o gust_n of_o spirit_n to_o they_o they_o have_v not_o stay_v and_o pawse_v nor_o be_v any_o difficulty_n able_a to_o offer_v itself_o against_o they_o which_o can_v stop_n they_o but_o they_o will_v be_v go_v on_o without_o so_o much_o as_o remember_v that_o they_o be_v to_o live_v by_o eat_v their_o meat_n and_o they_o shut_v themselves_o up_o for_o ever_o in_o a_o house_n without_o have_v so_o much_o as_o any_o revenue_n upon_o which_o to_o live_v like_o person_n who_o put_v no_o manner_n of_o esteem_n upon_o any_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n for_o the_o love_n of_o he_o who_o they_o know_v love_v they_o and_o they_o give_v over_o even_o all_o thing_n all_o at_o once_o nor_o have_v they_o any_o will_n at_o all_o which_o be_v mere_o their_o own_o nor_o do_v they_o understand_v it_o to_o be_v possible_a that_o ever_o they_o can_v receive_v disgust_n by_o endure_v such_o a_o straight_o shut_v up_o but_o all_o of_o they_o offer-up_a their_o whole_a self_n in_o sacrifice_n to_o the_o honour_n and_o glory_n of_o almighty_a god_n and_o now_o how_o willing_o and_o just_o do_v i_o allow_v they_o to_o have_v get_v the_o start_n of_o i_o herein_o and_o how_o mighty_o ought_v i_o to_o be_v ashamed_a and_o even_o confound_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o almighty_a god_n to_o see_v that_o what_o his_o divine_a majesty_n can_v not_o finish_v in_o my_o soul_n through_o my_o fault_n in_o such_o a_o multitude_n of_o year_n since_o i_o use_v prayer_n and_o wherein_o he_o begin_v to_o do_v i_o favour_n he_o have_v yet_o be_v able_a to_o accomplish_v in_o they_o within_o three_o month_n yea_o and_o even_o with_o some_o of_o they_o in_o three_o day_n with_o do_v they_o also_o far_o less_o favour_n then_o to_o i_o though_o yet_o withal_o it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o our_o bless_a lord_n pay_v they_o so_o well_o for_o their_o pain_n that_o they_o be_v all_o very_o far_o from_o be_v sorry_a to_o have_v do_v whatsoever_o they_o have_v do_v for_o the_o love_n of_o he_o for_o this_o purpose_n i_o can_v wish_v that_o we_o may_v call_v to_o mind_n how_o many_o year_n they_o be_v since_o we_o make_v our_o profession_n and_o have_v use_v mental_a prayer_n not_o yet_o for_o the_o give_v they_o any_o trouble_n by_o make_v they_o turn_v back_o who_o have_v make_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o way_n in_o a_o short_a time_n and_o to_o get_v they_o to_o go_v but_o our_o pace_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o it_o will_v be_v to_o make_v they_o who_o fly_v like_o eagle_n through_o the_o favour_n which_o it_o have_v please_v almighty_a god_n to_o do_v they_o to_o walk_v the_o slow_a dull_a pace_n of_o a_o shackle_a hen_n but_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v grow_v to_o carry_v the_o honour_n of_o his_o divine_a majesty_n in_o our_o eye_n and_o then_o if_o we_o find_v these_o sister_n of_o we_o to_o be_v humble_a who_o we_o see_v to_o be_v so_o forward_o in_o the_o way_n of_o spirit_n that_o we_o shall_v give_v they_o still_o the_o reins_n for_o certain_o our_o bless_a lord_n who_o have_v do_v they_o so_o great_a favour_n already_o will_v never_o suffer_v they_o to_o break_v their_o neck_n by_o fall_v down_o as_o from_o some_o dangerous_a rock_n they_o commit_v and_o trust_v themselves_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o almighty_a god_n for_o this_o benefit_n do_v they_o reap_v by_o the_o truth_n which_o faith_n teach_v they_o and_o shall_v not_o we_o also_o trust_v they_o there_o but_o document_n must_v we_o limit_v and_o confine_v they_o by_o our_o narrow_a measure_n according_a to_o the_o meanness_n &_o straightness_n of_o our_o own_o poor_a mind_n no_o no_o this_o must_v not_o be_v but_o rather_o if_o ourselves_o can_v arrive_v to_o be_v owner_n of_o those_o strong_a affection_n and_o firm_a resolution_n which_o abound_v in_o they_o for_o these_o thing_n can_v be_v well_o understand_v without_o experience_n let_v we_o procure_v to_o humble_v ourselves_o and_o not_o condemn_v they_o for_o else_o by_o seem_v to_o have_v a_o care_n of_o their_o advantage_n and_o profit_n we_o shall_v deprive_v ourselves_o of_o our_o own_o and_o we_o shall_v also_o loose_v the_o occasion_n which_o our_o lord_n show_v we_o so_o fair_a for_o our_o own_o great_a humility_n and_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v how_o much_o be_v want_v to_o we_o as_o also_o how_o much_o more_o absolute_o those_o other_o soul_n be_v likely_a to_o be_v untie_v and_o free_v from_o worldly_a thing_n than_o we_o and_o how_o much_o near_o they_o be_v approach_v to_o almighty_a god_n than_o we_o since_o we_o see_v that_o his_o divine_a majesty_n be_v come_v so_o much_o close_o up_o towards_o they_o than_o us._n for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v understand_v no_o more_o in_o this_o case_n neither_o indeed_o have_v i_o any_o
