show_v why_o the_o same_o be_v more_o worthy_a then_o to_o imagine_v and_o behold_v he_o suffer_v at_o jerusalem_n that_o real_a suffering_n which_o we_o taste_v in_o ourselves_o present_v a_o far_o more_o sprightly_a image_n of_o the_o passion_n of_o jesus_n christ_n then_o that_o which_o hover_v in_o imagination_n alone_o and_o that_o which_o we_o feel_v inward_o then_o that_o which_o be_v speculate_v outward_o as_o our_o own_o headache_n or_o pain_n of_o any_o other_o member_n give_v we_o a_o far_o more_o lively_a feel_n of_o the_o like_a affliction_n in_o any_o of_o our_o friend_n then_o if_o we_o fancy_v the_o same_o from_o here-say_a alone_o just_o so_o my_o own_o experience_n of_o the_o torment_n of_o christ_n in_o myself_o make_v i_o abundant_o more_o sensible_a of_o they_o then_o if_o i_o see_v they_o only_o by_o apparition_n in_o my_o fantasy_n whereof_o one_o say_v by_o suffering_n a_o man_n learn_v to_o co-suff_a with_o he_o that_o suffer_v if_o in_o our_o sorrow_n we_o behold_v the_o passion_n without_o we_o that_o seem_v to_o beget_v multiplicity_n the_o soul_n strain_v from_o her_o own_o pain_n to_o the_o pain_n of_o christ_n but_o behold_v the_o passion_n of_o christ_n in_o ourselves_o we_o see_v but_o one_o only_a simple_a object_n of_o the_o pain_n of_o both_o and_o thus_o this_o whole_a practice_n be_v draw_v into_o our_o interior_a and_o we_o have_v the_o work_n within_o we_o the_o which_o be_v a_o high_a step_n to_o see_v the_o passion_n in_o our_o sorrow_n the_o conflict_n be_v excellent_a but_o to_o behold_v the_o same_o in_o ourselves_o presuppose_v absolute_a victory_n again_o the_o end_n for_o which_o we_o behold_v the_o passion_n be_v to_o be_v conform_v thereto_o but_o thus_o by_o see_v the_o passion_n in_o our_o sorrow_n we_o be_v conform_v thereto_o by_o a_o joyful_a and_o free_a willing_a acceptation_n of_o the_o same_o in_o the_o union_n and_o contemplation_n of_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n ergo_fw-la by_o behold_v the_o passion_n in_o our_o sorrow_n we_o reach_v the_o end_n of_o the_o contemplation_n of_o the_o passion_n beside_o many_o can_v but_o very_o hardly_o and_o without_o continuance_n behold_v the_o passion_n of_o christ_n in_o imagination_n but_o none_o need_v miss_v the_o same_o by_o feel_v in_o his_o own_o sorrow_n for_o many_o be_v destitute_a of_o apprehensive_a imagine_v but_o none_o want_v the_o lively_a sense_n of_o his_o own_o affliction_n again_o if_o be_v round_o set_v with_o strait_n we_o fly_v to_o the_o passion_n of_o christ_n without_o we_o we_o shall_v seem_v to_o turn_v our_o back_n plain_o on_o sorrow_n and_o to_o shrink_v from_o pain_n so_o far_o as_o we_o can_v press_v to_o he_o more_o to_o seek_v our_o own_o comfort_n then_o for_o any_o true_a love_n to_o he_o but_o when_o we_o see_v he_o in_o our_o pain_n within_o ourselves_o we_o easy_o embrace_v the_o bitterness_n as_o he_o and_o cheerful_o pursue_v the_o cuttingnesse_n of_o affliction_n as_o that_o which_o nail_v we_o with_o he_o on_o the_o cross_n the_o union_n make_v by_o those_o suffering_n which_o be_v in_o we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o close_o the_o more_o we_o taste_v the_o gall_n and_o the_o true_a and_o perfect_a the_o more_o true_o those_o pain_n be_v in_o that_o union_n and_o not_o in_o memory_n alone_o if_o in_o our_o pain_n we_o consider_v the_o passion_n the_o more_o we_o suffer_v the_o close_o we_o shall_v be_v unite_v to_o god_n but_o if_o we_o behold_v it_o without_o we_o the_o tempest_n of_o affliction_n may_v break_v that_o union_n with_o he_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v most_o excellent_a say_v the_o same_o saint_n to_o behold_v he_o in_o his_o passion_n within_o ourselves_o confirm_v therefore_o on_o holy_a scripture_n produce_v let_v we_o bide_v solid_o fix_v in_o our_o own_o pain_n as_o in_o the_o torment_n of_o jesus_n christ_n reject_v all_o looseness_n waver_v &_o all_o question_n arise_v to_o inquire_v whether_o the_o passion_n of_o christ_n be_v true_o in_o they_o or_o no._n such_o as_o for_o the_o most_o part_n a_o soul_n shallow_a illuminate_v use_v to_o frame_v the_o which_o practise_v he_o may_v easy_o stand_v

jesus_n christ_n by_o grace_n shall_v never_o be_v doubt_v of_o because_o he_o will_v there_o naked_o unveil_v himself_o nor_o ought_v any_o man_n to_o give_v himself_o to_o this_o practice_n till_o
