from_o this_o instance_n of_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n creation_n i_o will_v rather_o commend_v this_o meditation_n to_o the_o reader_n as_o great_a care_n be_v to_o be_v have_v of_o a_o woman_n with_o child_n of_o queen_n and_o princely_a mother_n especial_o then_o of_o bruit_n beast_n great_a with_o young_a albeit_o the_o fruit_n of_o their_o womb_n be_v the_o more_o immediate_a work_n or_o

for_o attain_v of_o true_a faith_n than_o the_o practice_n of_o moral_a precept_n for_o produce_v moral_a habit_n that_o there_o may_v be_v natural_a persuasion_n of_o spiritual_a truth_n and_o moral_a desire_n of_o spiritual_a good_a both_o right_a in_o their_o kind_n though_o nothing_o worth_a in_o themselves_o but_o only_o capable_a of_o better_a because_o not_o hypocritical_a 1._o in_o that_o it_o have_v please_v the_o spirit_n to_o write_v so_o much_o for_o man_n direction_n in_o the_o way_n of_o life_n yet_o not_o so_o much_o to_o instruct_v the_o faithful_a what_o they_o shall_v

his_o sacred_a rule_n be_v not_o more_o sufficient_a effectual_a and_o complete_a for_o attain_v true_a and_o lively_a faith_n than_o any_o philosophical_a method_n for_o plant_v moral_a virtue_n be_v to_o derogate_v as_o much_o from_o god_n wisdom_n as_o he_o shall_v do_v from_o his_o power_n that_o maintain_v man_n without_o direction_n or_o assistance_n supernatural_a may_v work_v out_o his_o
