163    8, 46|             to ease and refresh my selfe, for the day was past and
164    9, 47|             Then thought I with my selfe, that was the most secret
165    9, 47|            affection to purifie my selfe, I plunged my selfe seven
166    9, 47|     purifie my selfe, I plunged my selfe seven times into the water

171    9, 48|           in doubt, I refrained my selfe from all those things as
172    9, 48|           was awake, I mused in my selfe what this vision should

174    9, 48|         before whom I presented my selfe, and worshipped them: Behold
175    9, 48|            partly reasoned with my selfe, and partly examining the
176    9, 48|    vertuous studies. When I saw my selfe this deputed unto religion,
177    9, 48|         into povertie? Prepare thy selfe, and abstaine from all animall
178    9, 48|    wherefore thou maist thinke thy selfe happy for so great benefits.
