There be no rubs in Love. Nec retia tendit, nec laedere intendit. It neither does nor desires another's harm: it commits no evil; nay, ait thinks no evil, saith our Apostle. For passive rubs, it bpasseth over an offence. It may be moved with violence, cannot be removed from patience. cCharity covers a multitude of Sins: saith Peter: dAll sins, saith Solomon. Covers them partly from the eyes of God, in praying for the offenders: partly from the eyes of the world, in throwing a cloak over our brothers nakedness: especially from it own eyes, by winking at many wrongs offered it. eCharity suffereth long: the back of love will bear a load of injuries.
There be no rubbes in Loue. Nec retia tendit, nec laedere intendit. It neither does nor desires anothers harme: it commits no euill; nay, ait thinkes no euill, sayth our Apostle. For passiue rubbes, it bpasseth ouer an offence. It may be moued with violence, cannot be remoued from patience.
