therefore_o he_o say_v that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o faith_n only_o namely_o that_o which_o be_v join_v with_o charity_n but_o jerom_n upon_o the_o five_o chapter_n unto_o the_o galathian_o say_v

work_n alone_o why_o our_o righteousness_n be_v sometime_o attribute_v unto_o charity_n alone_o now_o because_o among_o all_o virtue_n charity_n be_v the_o principal_a therefore_o the_o father_n

therefore_o it_o have_v have_v great_a and_o grave_a patroness_n but_o how_o it_o draw_v near_o unto_o the_o truth_n hereby_o we_o easy_o gather_v that_o there_o be_v none_o more_o certain_a nor_o sure_a preparation_n unto_o felicity_n than_o virtue_n for_o from_o the_o habit_n of_o virtue_n proceed_v that_o action_n which_o be_v affirm_v by_o aristotle_n to_o be_v very_a felicity_n virtue_n therefore_o be_v the_o near_a power_n or_o faculty_n unto_o felicity_n good_a why_o virtue_n be_v not_o the_o chief_a good_a but_o why_o the_o same_o can_v be_v the_o chief_a good_a &_o felicity_n itself_o it_o be_v cause_n enough_o that_o it_o be_v refer_v unto_o a_o further_a end_n for_o to_o what_o purpose_n do_v we_o procure_v unto_o ourselves_o the_o habit_n of_o virtue_n but_o that_o we_o
