what_o be_v charity_n charity_n be_v a_o virtue_n whereby_o we_o love_v god_n above_o all_o thing_n for_o his_o own_o sake_n only_o and_o our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o also_o for_o god_n his_o

deprive_v ourselves_o of_o all_o thing_n and_o of_o our_o life_n also_o rather_o than_o to_o offend_v he_o 3._o what_o be_v it_o to_o love_n god_n for_o his_o own_o sake_n only_o it_o be_v to_o love_v he_o principal_o for_o no_o other_o reason_n but_o because_o he_o be_v infinite_o good_a excellent_a and_o worthy_a to_o be_v belove_v 4._o what_o be_v it_o to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o it_o be_v to_o desire_v to_o he_o for_o god_n sake_n that_o be_v because_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o do_v so_o the_o same_o good_n which_o we_o desire_v to_o ourselves_o and_o to_o

two_o manner_n of_o love_a one_o self_n one_o naught_o the_o other_o good_a 6._o which_o be_v the_o naughty_a manner_n it_o be_v when_o we_o do_v not_o refer_v to_o god_n the_o affection_n which_o we_o bear_v to_o ourselves_o but_o rest_v whole_o in_o ourselves_o by_o seek_v inordinate_o our_o own_o contentment_n 7._o which_o be_v the_o good_a manner_n it_o be_v when_o we_o desire_v any_o thing_n for_o ourselves_o because_o god_n will_v have_v we_o desire_v it_o intend_v thereby_o to_o fulfil_v in_o ourselves_o god_n holy_a will_n concern_v ourselves_o 8._o the_o love_n which_o we_o

and_o we_o do_v will_v all_o that_o which_o he_o will_v as_o well_o in_o ourselves_o as_o in_o our_o neighbour_n for_o god_n have_v make_v we_o to_o a_o determinate_a end_n in_o so_o make_v we_o he_o have_v direct_v we_o to_o some_o action_n and_o function_n and_o so_o we_o owe_v to_o god_n our_o endeavour_n conformable_a to_o such_o action_n and_o also_o the_o conservation_n of_o ourselves_o whereby_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o do_v they_o 9_o what_o be_v the_o good_n which_o god_n will_v have_v we_o desire_v for_o ourselves_o those_o which_o make_v we_o capable_a to_o attain_v that_o end_n for_o which_o he_o have_v create_v we_o that_o be_v to_o love_v he_o and_o to_o serve_v he_o eternal_o 10._o which_o be_v these_o good_n they_o be_v god_n his_o holy_a grace_n whereby_o we_o be_v sanctify_v and_o all_o that_o both_o corporal_a and_o spiritual_a which_o help_v we_o to_o get_v the_o same_o and_o to_o conserve_v in_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o gospel_n 11._o must_v we_o desire_v these_o same_o good_n to_o all_o man_n yes_o but_o still_o with_o conform_v ourselves_o to_o the_o eternal_a decree_n which_o god_n make_v concern_v the_o give_n of_o they_o to_o each_o man_n in_o particular_a 12._o be_v it_o thus_o then_o that_o we_o do_v satisfy_v the_o precept_n of_o charity_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o our_o neighbour_n yes_o suppose_v that_o this_o

which_o make_v that_o they_o be_v all_o not_o only_o neighbour_n but_o also_o brethren_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n oblige_v to_o love_v one_o a_o other_o sincere_o 15._o why_o be_v not_o all_o man_n

their_o divine_a and_o spiritual_a birth_n by_o baptism_n whereby_o all_o christian_n do_v become_v child_n of_o jesus_n christ_n their_o common_a father_n 16._o thy_o be_v not_o all_o man_n

our_o spiritual_a kindred_n be_v more_o near_o unto_o we_o than_o other_o christian_n who_o be_v our_o spiritual_a brethren_n only_o because_o they_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o same_o common_a father_n jesus_n christ_n and_o likewise_o among_o our_o christian_a brethren_n we_o owe_v more_o to_o they_o who_o be_v more_o holy_a and_o more_o virtuous_a then_o to_o other_o because_o they_o be_v as_o

they_o be_v our_o brethren_n bear_v of_o the_o same_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n this_o be_v one_o reason_n why_o we_o must_v love_v they_o but_o beside_o this_o we_o must_v love_v they_o also_o because_o they_o be_v our_o fellow_n member_n and_o compose_v together_o with_o we_o true_o and_o real_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o mystical_a body_n whereof_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o head_n 20._o must_v we_o not_o then_o love_v catholic_n also_o as_o member_n of_o jesus_n christ_n yes_o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o in_o some_o sort_n as_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o for_o we_o find_v

it_o make_v we_o all_o to_o partake_v of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o all_o that_o one_o shall_v do_v to_o the_o least_o of_o the_o faithful_a he_o will_v hold_v it_o as_o do_v to_o himself_o 21._o be_v it_o then_o a_o great_a sin_n to_o offend_v against_o the_o charity_n we_o owe_v to_o our_o neighbour_n yes_o because_o it_o be_v a_o offence_n do_v
