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 conversion_n therefore_o be_v begin_v in_o the_o mind_n by_o faith_n but_o this_o conversion_n be_v but_o half_a a_o conversion_n yea_o it_o be_v no_o conversion_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n except_o
