a_o treatise_n of_o charity_n ▸_o i_o be_o welle_v mind_v to_o stycke_v to_o my_o promise_n of_o charity_n by_o cause_n you_o can_v not_o myslyke_v my_o writing_n how_o rude_a lie_v so_o ever_o i_o

beauty_n of_o the_o werke_n hereupon_o i_o be_o bold_v to_o show_v my_o mind_n in_o few_o word_n what_o be_v charity_n and_o how_o we_o may_v keep_v charity_n a_o sayenge_a moche_n use_v with_o every_o man_n and_o woman_n but_o not_o so_o welle_v perceyve_v as_o it_o be_v common_o speak_v spekers_n of_o charity_n be_v plenty_n keper_n of_o charity_n be_v very_o scase_v all_o though_o you_o

enough_o to_o love_v in_o a_o slight_a or_o a_o common_a or_o in_o a_o mean_a wise_a if_o you_o keep_v in_o you_o charity_n you_o be_v spotless_a of_o all_o gruge_n and_o therewith_o you_o love_v in_o the_o most_o hygh_a degree_n of_o love_a both_o god_n and_o man_n god_n for_o himself_o and_o man_n for_o goddis_fw-la sake_n but_o here_o now_o i_o think_v we_o be_v to_o sodeme_o enter_v with_o a_o

that_o in_o charity_n be_v contain_v all_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o goddis_fw-la law_n do_v chief_o enforce_v two_o thing_n one_o to_o make_v we_o by_o threten_v of_o peyne_n to_o flee_v from_o sin_v a_o other_o to_o cause_v we_o by_o promysinge_v of_o joy_n to_o follow_v virtue_n it_o must_v needs_o then_o cause_v be_v true_a that_o charite_n make_v man_n do_v both_o these_o thing_n to_o

by_o charity_n we_o escape_v dispraise_n and_o deserve_v praise_n by_o charity_n we_o due_o both_o fear_n and_o love_n god_n final_o by_o cha_z ritie_n we_o be_v rid_v from_o the_o bondage_n of_o
