You're probably right, and it makes sense within the context of the other words, but it looks more like an -ie suffix than a -y suffix.

Humanity / Humanitie ?

Isn't sealing souls a Mormon thing?
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

He wasn't a Mormon, although his wife was Plymouth Brethren.

Quote from: Girl Guide on Sunday 08 January 17 22:57 GMT (UK)
I'm dubious about sanctity as there is no crossing of the 't' as there is in humanity and ability.

I'm wondering if the word you have as full is face?  The 'c' looks the same as the one in 'succour' and 'mercy'.

I see the word after full/face as having the letters fy on the end.
Looking at this again, you may well be right, but I can't for the life of me work out what the word would be, if it isn't sanctity.

To be clear, this would be the fourth row down.

Any takers?

love & mercy
lost humanity
ability to save souls
face ??  or full ??  (could be 'sanctity')
succour, a life temp.
