of_o work_n as_o the_o body_n without_o the_o spirit_n be_v dead_a so_o 26._o faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a also_o for_o where_o no_o work_n be_v there_o be_v no_o charity_n and_o where_o no_o charity_n be_v there_o faith_n and_o work_v and_o all_o be_v dead_a therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v though_o i_o feed_v the_o poor_a with_o all_o my_o good_n and_o have_v not_o charity_n it_o profit_v i_o nothing_o why_o because_o without_o charity_n work_n be_v dead_a as_o well_o as_o faith_n and_o knowledge_n and_o other_o grace_n and_o where_o there_o be_v charity_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o divine_a love_n to_o god_n and_o all_o goodness_n there_o all_o thing_n be_v alive_a and_o every_o grace_n work_v to_o salvation_n faith_n believe_v to_o salvation_n hope_n hope_v to_o salvation_n knowledge_n know_v to_o salvation_n all_o work_n by_o charity_n spirit_n hence_o the_o school_n call_v charity_n the_o form_n of_o virtue_n but_o you_o may_v say_v how_o prove_v you_o that_o divine_a love_n and_o charity_n be_v the_o spirit_n that_o give_v life_n and_o motion_n to_o all_o other_o grace_n thus_o because_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o first_o grace_n work_v by_o it_o gal._n 5._o 6._o for_o in_o jesus_n christ_n neither_o circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n nor_o uncircumcision_n but_o faith_n which_o work_v by_o charity_n then_o as_o all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n work_v by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n so_o faith_n and_o other_o grace_n in_o the_o spiritual_a body_n work_v by_o the_o power_n of_o charity_n first_o because_o charity_n be_v the_o impulse_n of_o the_o christian_a soul._n neither_o can_v you_o with_o reason_n say_v that_o because_o faith_n be_v the_o first_o grace_n in_o spirituality_n therefore_o all_o animation_n and_o motion_n proceed_v from_o it_o because_o in_o generation_n the_o matter_n go_v before_o the_o form_n and_o in_o the_o body_n of_o man_n there_o be_v vegetation_n and_o animalitie_n common_a to_o other_o creature_n before_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n come_v which_o be_v the_o sole_a beginning_n of_o action_n reasonable_a second_o i_o prove_v this_o because_o where_o be_v no_o charity_n there_o all_o be_v dead_a as_o s._n john_n show_v he_o that_o love_v not_o his_o brother_n 14._o abide_v in_o death_n again_o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v translate_v from_o death_n to_o life_n because_o we_o love_v the_o brethren_n where_o love_n be_v there_o be_v life_n and_o where_o no_o love_n be_v there_o be_v no_o life_n three_o i_o prove_v this_o because_o god_n be_v our_o life_n but_o god_n be_v charity_n as_o saint_n john_n show_v god_n 16._o be_v charity_n and_o he_o that_o remain_v in_o charity_n remain_v in_o god_n and_o god_n in_o he_o if_o god_n be_v charity_n than_o charity_n in_o the_o christian_a must_v needs_o be_v his_o life_n because_o our_o charity_n flow_v from_o his_o charity_n four_o i_o show_v that_o charity_n be_v the_o life_n of_o all_o virtue_n and_o grace_n because_o it_o be_v the_o root_n of_o the_o spiritual_a tree_n within_o we_o as_o s._n paul_n teach_v ephes._n 3._o 17_o 18_o 19_o that_o you_o be_v root_v and_o ground_v in_o charity_n may_v be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v with_o all_o saint_n what_o be_v the_o breadth_n and_o length_n and_o depth_n and_o height_n and_o to_o know_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n which_o pass_v knowledge_n that_o you_o may_v be_v fill_v with_o all_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n here_o you_o see_v charity_n to_o be_v the_o root_n therefore_o so_o long_o as_o the_o root_n last_v no_o virtue_n or_o grace_n can_v wither_v in_o we_o but_o if_o the_o root_n die_v all_o die_n all_o come_v from_o the_o root_n the_o leaf_n the_o blossom_n the_o fruit_n if_o there_o be_v either_o ornament_n of_o virtue_n or_o fruit_n of_o grace_n in_o we_o all_o come_v from_o the_o root_n of_o charity_n yea_o the_o life_n of_o virtue_n not_o only_o come_v from_o this_o root_n but_o there_o it_o be_v keep_v and_o preserve_v too_o for_o when_o winter_n and_o cold_a storm_n come_v than_o the_o sap_n for_o shelter_n run_v down_o to_o the_o root_n and_o there_o it_o be_v preserve_v till_o the_o next_o spring_n so_o again_o when_o the_o winter_n of_o god_n wrath_n and_o storm_n of_o persecution_n assault_v the_o profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n then_o by_o and_o by_o we_o retire_v to_o the_o root_n of_o charity_n and_o there_o be_v our_o profession_n preserve_v till_o the_o storm_n be_v over_o thus_o peter_n deny_v his_o master_n thrice_o when_o he_o be_v go_v to_o his_o death_n yet_o because_o he_o still_o love_v his_o master_n therefore_o his_o life_n remain_v in_o he_o in_o the_o time_n of_o persecution_n it_o lay_v hide_v in_o the_o root_n of_o charity_n the_o apostle_n go_v forward_o that_o you_o may_v be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v with_o all_o saint_n what_o be_v the_o length_n and_o breadth_n and_o height_n and_o depth_n charity_n break_v forth_o into_o all_o the_o dimension_n of_o spiritual_a
