we_o judge_v it_o be_v alive_a but_o if_o we_o see_v it_o not_o stir_v we_o hold_v it_o for_o dead_a so_o when_o we_o see_v any_o man_n do_v many_o good_a work_n and_o otherwise_o observe_v no_o

to_o loose_v grace_n for_o love_n can_v be_v lose_v but_o by_o hatred_n since_o one_o contrary_a be_v not_o expel_v but_o by_o another_o and_o i_o think_v no_o body_n can_v hate_v god_n if_o you_o remember_v we_o say_v that_o he_o who_o love_v one_o be_v bind_v by_o love_n to_o do_v good_a for_o he_o who_o he_o love_v if_o he_o can_v by_o perform_v all_o that_o towards_o he_o which_o be_v due_a

love_v of_o such_o thing_n as_o hinder_v we_o to_o do_v what_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v in_o love_n to_o god_n that_o be_v all_o which_o he_o command_v and_o be_v practise_v by_o the_o three_o

two_o general_a one_o mortal_a and_o venial_a 6._o how_o can_v any_o sin_n be_v venial_a since_o that_o all_o sin_n be_v the_o neglect_n of_o our_o duty_n towards_o god_n and_o he_o who_o neglect_v his_o duty_n forbear_v to_o love_v and_o so_o lose_v charity_n which_o loss_n as_o you_o say_v be_v the_o death_n of_o our_o soul_n you_o must_v know_v that_o though_o we_o can_v loose_v charity_n but_o by_o neglect_v our_o duty_n yet_o all_o neglect_n of_o duty_n lose_v not_o charity_n for_o love_n or_o charity_n be_v of_o its_o own_o nature_n mutual_a and_o therefore_o we_o can_v loose_v it_o but_o that_o we_o must_v loose_v also_o our_o friend_n his_o love_n towards_o we_o so_o that_o we_o do_v not_o loose_a charity_n by_o any_o other_o neglect_n but_o such_o as_o break_v the_o mutual_a bond_n of_o love_n if_o then_o not_o every_o thing_n as_o the_o take_n of_o a_o pin_n be_v a_o sufficient_a cause_n for_o our_o neighbour_n to_o fall_v out_o with_o we_o we_o lose_v not_o out_o love_v towards_o he_o for_o take_v a_o pin_n from_o he_o but_o we_o lose_v it_o by_o those_o act_n only_o which_o be_v a_o sufficient_a cause_n for_o ordinary_a wise_a man_n to_o break_v of_o conversation_n and_o friendship_n with_o we_o and_o not_o by_o what_o be_v less_o than_o that_o and_o the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o duty_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o ourselves_o or_o to_o almighty_a god_n for_o whereas_o man_n owe_v certain_a duty_n to_o himself_o the_o neglect_n of_o they_o may_v come_v to_o be_v such_o as_o if_o another_o man_n shall_v do_v it_o unto_o you_o you_o will_v have_v just_a cause_n to_o fall_v out_o with_o he_o and_o so_o though_o you_o do_v not_o fall_v out_o with_o yourself_o for_o the_o like_a occasion_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o for_o want_v of_o cause_n again_o it_o may_v be_v also_o so_o little_a a_o neglect_n as_o that_o it_o will_v be_v unreasonable_a for_o you_o to_o fall_v out_o with_o he_o now_o this_o second_o neglect_n of_o your_o duty_n towards_o yourself_o be_v only_o a_o venial_a sin_n whereas_o the_o former_a be_v mortal_a and_o the_o same_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o misrespect_n towards_o god_n for_o if_o it_o be_v such_o as_o do_v to_o one_o to_o who_o we_o owe_v all_o that_o we_o be_v shall_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n and_o decree_n of_o his_o justice_n give_v he_o a_o occasion_n to_o break_v of_o friendship_n with_o we_o it_o be_v a_o mortal_a sin_n if_o not_o a_o venial_a 7._o why_o be_v these_o two_o kind_n of_o sin_n so_o call_v one_o mortal_a the_o other_o venial_a because_o by_o the_o one_o we_o break_v friendship_n

spiritual_a life_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n it_o be_v call_v mortal_a by_o the_o other_o we_o make_v no_o breach_n of_o friendship_n nor_o loose_a god_n his_o grace_n or_o charity_n by_o they_o and_o so_o because_o they_o be_v such_o of_o their_o own_o nature_n as_o that_o their_o pardon_n may_v be_v easy_o obtain_v by_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n which_o still_o remain_v in_o we_o they_o

to_o have_v power_n in_o itself_o to_o move_v or_o stir_v itself_o now_o charity_n be_v that_o which_o move_v we_o to_o walk_v towards_o god_n and_o give_v we_o power_n by_o all_o other_o virtue_n to_o tend_v towards_o he_o love_n be_v that_o which_o move_v all_o reasonable_a creature_n to_o action_n beside_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v the_o immediate_a step_n to_o heaven_n which_o be_v our_o

of_o a_o christian_a because_o by_o they_o a_o man_n be_v make_v capable_a to_o perform_v all_o the_o function_n and_o act_n which_o we_o say_v do_v belong_v proper_o to_o a_o christian_n 2._o be_v

proper_o in_o the_o act_n themselves_o but_o in_o the_o habit_n whereby_o we_o be_v enable_v to_o produce_v such_o act_n 3._o why_o so_o because_o a_o state_n do_v signify_v a_o permanencie_n whereas_o our_o act_n as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v do_v remain_v no_o long_o as_o act_v but_o the_o habitude_n or_o virtue_n remain_v still_o within_o us._n 4._o be_v all_o these_o three_o virtue_n necessary_a to_o constitute_v this_o state_n yes_o for_o as_o the_o understanding_n memory_n and_o will_v do_v constitute_v the_o natural_a be_v of_o our_o soul_n so_o do_v these_o three_o virtue_n constitute_v her_o supernatural_a be_v for_o by_o faith_n our_o understanding_n be_v perfect_v by_o hope_n our_o memory_n and_o our_o will_n by_o charity_n yet_o it_o do_v consist_v chief_o in_o charity_n both_o because_o as_o have_v be_v say_v charity_n be_v the_o mistress_n and_o life_n of_o the_o other_o two_o and_o also_o because_o charity_n be_v never_o find_v without_o the_o other_o two_o whereas_o the_o other_o two_o be_v sometime_o without_o charity_n 5._o how_o be_v this_o state_n call_v it_o be_v call_v the_o state_n of_o grace_n for_o the_o same_o virtue_n have_v diverse_a

at_o leastwise_o they_o can_v be_v separate_v from_o it_o not_o it_o from_o they_o 6._o why_o be_v it_o call_v a_o state_n first_o because_o it_o exempt_v a_o man_n out_o of_o the_o slavery_n of_o sin_n and_o put_v he_o into_o that_o condition_n of_o spiritual_a freedom_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o child_n of_o god_n second_o because_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a end_n of_o god_n his_o

must_v note_v that_o it_o be_v call_v a_o state_n only_o improper_o and_o in_o a_o large_a sense_n because_o immobility_n be_v a_o condition_n requisite_a to_o a_o state_n proper_o speak_v whereas_o these_o virtue_n be_v not_o in_o we_o so_o firm_o but_o that_o we_o lose_v they_o again_o 7._o why_o be_v it_o call_v grace_n because_o when_o it_o be_v first_o give_v to_o we_o it_o be_v bestow_v

soul_n whereby_o we_o become_v graceful_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n 8._o why_o be_v it_o call_v inherent_a justice_n because_o it_o be_v a_o quality_n inherent_a or_o permanent_a in_o our_o soul_n whereby_o we_o be_v true_o justify_v and_o cleanse_v from_o sin_n and_o acknowledge_v and_o own_a by_o god_n as_o his_o adoptive_a child_n 9_o why_o be_v it_o call_v habitual_a grace_n because_o as_o a_o habit_n of_o any_o virtue_n do_v beget_v in_o we_o a_o facility_n to_o produce_v act_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n so_o do_v this_o divine_a quality_n enable_v we_o to_o produce_v act_n of_o

to_o any_o unlawful_a object_n yet_o it_o settle_v not_o in_o we_o the_o love_n of_o god_n so_o strong_o as_o our_o former_a sinful_a affection_n have_v settle_v the_o love_n of_o ourselves_o and_o so_o it_o be_v not_o so_o firm_o root_v in_o we_o as_o our_o present_a sensual_a inclination_n be_v and_o therefore_o we_o be_v afterward_o easy_o overcome_v again_o by_o new_a temptation_n and_o this_o be_v ordinary_o the_o condition_n of_o penitent_a christian_n in_o the_o beginning_n who_o do_v often_o rise_v by_o god_n his_o grace_n and_o yet_o fall_v again_o by_o their_o own_o weakness_n until_o by_o penance_n that_o be_v by_o work_n of_o mortification_n which_o be_v the_o worthy_a fruit_n of_o repentance_n and_o by_o often_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n their_o inclination_n to_o love_n god_n above_o all_o thing_n become_v great_a and_o more_o firm_o root_v in_o they_o than_o their_o sinful_a inclination_n to_o self_n love_n now_o the_o detestation_n of_o sin_n arise_v from_o the_o former_a perfect_a conversion_n be_v call_v contrition_n the_o other_o attrition_n which_o be_v a_o metaphor_n take_v from_o any_o hard_a thing_n bruise_a by_o a_o hard_a for_o if_o you_o only_o

pure_a love_n of_o god_n for_o his_o own_o sake_n only_o proceed_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o of_o the_o obligation_n we_o have_v by_o reason_n of_o it_o to_o serve_v

perfect_a contrition_n and_o pure_a love_n of_o god_n have_v diverse_a degree_n for_o sometime_o it_o proceed_v pure_o and_o simple_o out_o of_o the_o consideration_n of_o god_n in_o himself_o without_o relation_n to_o his_o creature_n who_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o own_o infinite_a perfection_n and_o infinite_a goodness_n deserve_v to_o be_v belove_v above_o all_o thing_n all_o love_n be_v due_a to_o he_o mere_o for_o that_o goodness_n which_o be_v in_o himself_o and_o this_o be_v the_o high_a motive_n of_o divine_a love_n sometime_o this_o pure_a love_n proceed_v from_o the_o

everlasting_a salvation_n propose_v to_o all_o who_o do_v not_o through_o their_o own_o fault_n deprive_v themselves_o of_o it_o now_o the_o consideration_n of_o god_n his_o infinite_a love_n express_v towards_o we_o by_o these_o benefit_n do_v move_v we_o in_o gratitude_n to_o love_v he_o again_o which_o reciprocal_a love_n of_o we_o when_o it_o come_v to_o that_o height_n of_o
