ONe must enter into an exteriour retreat, with the holy Virgin, &
the Apostles, casting off all unneces∣sary business, visits or unprofitable discourses, & keeping the spirit of sweetness, & charity with our neigh∣bour, but aboue all, we ought to be carefull to joyn thereto, an interiour retreat, keeping our minds sequestred from all vain & curious thoughts, or all unprofitable reflections upon our selves or others, imploying ones mind & heart in frequent aspirations & sighs addressed to God, to demand his holy spirit, which to obtain, we must unite them with the interiour dispositions & prayers of the holy Virgin & the Apostles.
