of_o frailrie_n the_o mind_n be_v carry_v away_o the_o fruit_n of_o that_o prayer_n be_v not_o therefore_o lose_v or_o frustrate_v but_o have_v his_o effect_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o former_a

remain_v still_o for_o not_o with_o stand_v the_o mind_n be_v carry_v by_o humane_a frailty_n without_o voluntary_a consent_n to_o think_v upon_o base_a and_o terrestrial_a thing_n yet_o the_o prayer_n may_v both_o merit_n increase_v of_o grace_n and_o obtain_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v ask_v and_o much_o less_o be_v every_o evagation_n of_o mind_n in_o prayer_n to_o be_v repute_v a_o sin_n but_o that_o only_a which_o we_o either_o volunrary_o admit_v or_o willing_o desire_v of_o some_o vain_a or_o hurtful_a thing_n and_o so_o you_o see_v the_o manner_n of_o pray_v propose_v in_o this_o

so_o well_o instruct_v already_o may_v by_o this_o form_n of_o say_v the_o rosary_n and_o corones_n here_o ensue_v learn_v many_o particular_a and_o most_o necessary_a point_n of_o christian_a
