creature_n from_o he_o hart_n because_o life_n do_v proceed_v from_o the_o same_o to_o all_o the_o other_o membre_n so_o must_v he_o begin_v this_o spiritual_a life_n by_o prayer_n and_o

and_o fear_n of_o god_n with_o which_o he_o must_v give_v life_n to_o all_o his_o work_n to_o this_o end_n he_o must_v assign_v he_o his_o time_n and_o manner_n of_o exercise_n teach_v he_o and_o

of_o so_o great_a importance_n of_o daily_a exercise_n the_o morning_n when_o he_o rise_v out_o of_o his_o bead_n let_v he_o do_v these_o three_o thing_n that_o follow_n the_o first_o be_v to_o give_v

all_o the_o thing_n which_o that_o day_n he_o shall_v do_v or_o suffer_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o holy_a name_n the_o three_o be_v to_o demand_v his_o grace_n to_o employ_v and_o spend_v all_o that_o day_n in_o his_o service_n and_o particular_o to_o resist_v those_o vice_n to_o which_o he_o find_v himself_o most_o incline_v of_o friday_n exercise_n every_o fridaie_n in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o passion_n of_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n he_o ought_v to_o do_v some_o particular_a thing_n as_o to_o fast_v or_o to_o give_v alm_n or_o to_o take_v some_o discipline_n that_o may_v

do_v the_o like_a the_o evening_v before_o he_o go_v to_o communion_n thereby_o to_o prepare_v himself_o the_o better_a to_o this_o mystery_n and_o when_o he_o take_v a_o discipline_n he_o must_v
