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

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

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

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

this_o but_o the_o contrary_n you_o see_v say_v s._n james_n how_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n 24._o and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o thou_o will_v say_v the_o father_n teach_v this_o
