inward ioy and then my soule shalbe full of heauenly melody and be deuoute and feruente in thy laudes and praisynges But if thou withdraw thy self from me as thou haste sometyme dooen then maie not thy seruaunte runne the waie of thy commaundemeÌ„tes as I did beforâ— For it is now with me as it was when the Lanterne of thy ghostlie presence did shine vpon my heade and I was defended vnder the shadowe of thy winges from all perilles and daungers O mercifull Lorde Iesu euer to be praised the time is come that thou wilte proue thy seruaunte and rightfull is it that I shall now suffer somewhat for thee Now is the howre come that thou hast knowen from the beginnyng that thy seruaunt for a time should outwardly be set at naught and inwardly to leane to thee And that he should bée despised in the fight of y e world and be broken with afflictioÌ„ that he may after arise with thee in a newe light and bee clarified and made glorious in the kyngdome of heauen O holy father thou hast ordeined it so to bee and it is doen as thou hast coÌ„mauÌ„ded This is thy grace o lorde to thy freinde to suffer hym to be troubled in this worlde for thy loue how ofteÌ„ soeuer it be and of what persone so euer it bée and in what maner so euer thou wilt suffer it to fall vnto him for without thy wil or sufferaunce what thing is doen vpoÌ„ the earth It is good to me O lorde that thou hast mekened me that I maie thereby learne to knowe thy righteous iudgementes and to put from me all maner of presumptioÌ„ and statelinesse of harte It is very profitable for me that confusion hath couered my face that I maie learne therby rather to seke to thee for help succor then to maÌ„ I haue thereby learned to dread thy secret and terrible iudgementes whiche scourgeste the righteous with the synner but not without equitie and iustice Lorde I yelde thankes to thee that thou haste not spared my synnes but haste punished me with scrourges of loue and hast sent me afflictioÌ„ and anguishes within and without No creature vnder heaueÌ„ maie comforte me but thou Lorde GOD the heauenly leache of mans soule which strikeste and healest whiche bryngest a manne nigh vnto death after restorest hym to life againe that he maie therby learne to knowe his owne weakenesse and imbesilitie and the more fullie to trust in thee Lorde Thy discipline is laied vppon me and thy rodde of correction hath taughte me
