Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
BARLAAM AND JOSEPH 20:175-76 (749)
Obtain the same thing for yourself and strive to advance toward it; for it is able to raise you from earth to heaven. You will not advance in it without preparation or [solely] by chance. First cleanse your soul of every passion and wipe it as clean of every evil as a newly cleansed mirror. Remove far from you every recollection of wrong and anger, which most of all prevents our daily prayers from reaching God. Also remove from your heart the offenses of everyone who has ever sinned against you.
