[xsl] Output conditional on preceding nodes.

I'm trying to find a way of saying 'output the third paragraph after the
heading containing the text "foo"' -- to no avail.

If, for example, you have the input

<h1>Best Section</h1>
<p>Best Section - Paragraph One</p>
<p>Best Section - Paragraph Two</p>
<h1>Worst Section</h1>
<p>Worst Section - Paragraph One</p>
<p>Worst Section - Paragraph Two</p>

and you want to output

<p>Best Section - Paragraph Two</p>

only - how would you do it?  I have

<xsl:template match="p">
  <xsl:if test="preceding::h1[text()='Best Section']
    and not(preceding::h1[text()!='Best Section'])">
    <xsl:apply-templates />
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

which restricts it to the correct section, but how would I output only the
second paragraph?

Thanks
