Learners often think 'goodly' has the same meaning and use as 'good'. In modern English, 'goodly' is rare and usually only used before nouns like 'number', 'amount', 'sum', or 'portion' to mean 'fairly large'. It is not natural to say *'a goodly day'* or *'he is a goodly student'* in contemporary speech.
