worldly_a and_o seek_v he_o who_o be_v supernatural_a happiness_n then_o be_v conversion_n wrought_v and_o not_o before_o faith_n convert_v the_o mind_n to_o god_n but_o it_o be_v love_n and_o charity_n that_o convert_v the_o heart_n and_o will_n to_o god_n which_o be_v the_o great_a and_o last_o conversion_n because_o we_o never_o seek_v any_o thing_n until_o we_o desire_v it_o our_o

of_o the_o several_a mean_n now_o abide_v 13._o faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n but_o the_o great_a of_o these_o be_v charity_n which_o demonstration_n he_o that_o prefer_v faith_n before_o charity_n
